Hi buddy. Im one of the drivers on this route. It is actually a pretty busy route its just very sporadic. First bus of the morning the 04:05 is always well loaded and shift changes at amazon will get you a pretty much full bus. And now the holiday season is in full swing i have had standing loads at times. To drive 662 is easily the best of them. 663s diff whine starts to do my head in after a couple of trips. Theres absolutely no doubts that 663 is much much faster and its kickdown is still enabled where as 662s no longer functions.
Hi again TJ, I was a bit disappointed with 663 in this video as it was lacking the drama it had provided months beforehand. But I'm still glad I managed to capture it.
@@trentbartontraveller yeah the route is very sporadic. I can sometimes run an entire trip empty. 669 is still and always be my favourite bus currently on the fleet. I can forgive the diff whine as the engine and gearbox make up for it.
@@terry141186 Yeah, I'll keep an eye out for you next time I film on the route! I remember you saying that you never got to drive 625, but did you ever get a go on 657 before it went to TM?
