The Merit was sold through Volvo the Cadet was sold through VDL/DAF via Arriva, both are exactly the same apart from being badged differently.

LMAO 😂

Much prefer them with ZFs

Some point this year I think

Getting withdrawn very soon with Streetlites from Rochdale replacing them, just been on 1102 & plan to get a last run on 1092 & 1101.

@@darylyatestransportblogs luckily I did manage to go on them last month B10 YKT and PN02 HVJ

When did this happen looks like they’ll have to get another E200 then

@@darylyatestransportblogs only this morning mate

Thank you

@@darylyatestransportblogs no problem

It is yes I will put a new lense in it just not got around to it yet

@@darylyatestransportblogs ah right

No this was last year it wasn’t blowing before it went to Yorkshire

@@darylyatestransportblogs ooh that a shame

@@theleedsbusdriver did sound fantastic in person rode on it a few days before driver give it an absolute hammering (he knew it was blowing)

CNG same gas as cooking gas

Ex Stagecoach Highlands

Yep still going they'll have mega miles on them.

Well spotted typo that I missed

Interesting I do wonder if one of these will get preserved being the only batch of its kind.

I’ve no idea what makes ecomats louder than others

@@darylyatestransportblogs oh okay thanks for the response I travel on these renown’s every week day that’s why I was wondering thanks

@@Baqir_B2 your lucky that you still get B10s everyday last one where I am was withdrawn more 5 years ago I still miss them.

@@darylyatestransportblogs yes Iam when I think about it but since may they are starting to be withdrawn which is very sad I haven’t seen B12 B11 B10 B3 TDV at all I assume that they’ve been retired now I be travelling on optare solo which I’m not a fan of because you get a butt massage everytime the thing stops but the Volvos Zf is such a smooth and beautiful thing to hear, I’m glad I just about got to enjoy a good 8 months with them always have a place in my heart!

Indeed it is

Appreciate it

It will just be you sounds fine for me

@@darylyatestransportblogs ahh would you belive that there working now must be your magic touch !!!

@@bussesandmore1263 must have been glad you sorted it

I agree was gutless and running rough

@@darylyatestransportblogs has done since we got it, limited to 45 as well! Not that it ever gets there

@@isaaccapes9921 most TfL vehicles are limited to around 45 anyway but I do remember one of the SN09s doing 50 on the 32

Indeed it is filmed this before it had its private plate put on

Quite common on on SB120s

I have normally don’t really go into limp mode SB120s

Seems to be a thing with those Allison gearboxes.

Yep does annoy me that

I filmed this back in February so wasn’t yesterday prefer the Euro 4s though.

@@darylyatestransportblogs Yes got to agree there, Their interiors are also quite nostalgic to me saying as they’re still NW interior

@@Gamer-ed4yx I can relate with the older Arriva moquette as it was used in the Renowns I grew up with some Pulsars still have it

Don’t think they have been but I’m not local to them so I might be mistaken now

@@darylyatestransportblogs oh

This bus is still active today (May 2024)

I can’t remember what route it was as I uploaded this a while after I filmed it

Pulsars are great

I did film this a while ago now so the interior would have been done since

Shame to see them go

Nice one mate 66906 had the best ZF out of all the Rotala examples

Rode on every single StreetDeck Rotala have

Seems to be a thing with Volvos that

Euro 5s are sluggish compared to the Euro 4s

@@darylyatestransportblogs yep they are

Yep went to Speke a few days ago

They crashed

@@darylyatestransportblogs oh my :O
