Thank You Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very much for your help, time and support.
I used to love riding on these buses in Colchester back in the 70's when I was primary school age. I used to wonder how the driver changed gear without a clutch.The sound is unique and evokes great memorise too. I also used to wonder why the indicator control was so big and red! I was an odd child lol 😂
im no expert (!) but his driving and steering looked totally fine to me considering no power assist, and trying to get a very long bus round some quite tight bends there. Smooth driving and nice and easy on the gear box too. The only weird thing is should the left wiper be dragging over the central dividing strip on the windscreen? It can't do it much good.
Half automatische versnelling / semi-automatic transmission ?
Can't rush a Pneumocyclic gearbox, great things to drive, a Bugger without Power Steering
A pleasure to watch a professional at work.
From Beer to Seaton in a Devon drizzle!
Does the Speedo not work? Lovely bus though brought back some memories from my childhood 🥰
If you look below the gear selector early on from the start you'll see a black rimmed tachograph showing the speed, has to be fitted to public service vehicles.
Love the gear change done correctly.
Dorchester!
Used to be many re s in the south Wales valleys made a great sound on the steep valley routes some of the aberdare r e s clocked up 25 years service
Must be Newport Isle of Wight not Newport s Wales 🏴
A joy to watch a true master of his craft behind the wheel, well done mate!
Thank you for your kind comments Christopher :)
Remember traveling on these on the 150 Newport to Merthyr service run my rhymney valley usually a re or if unlucky a leopard great sounds is the bus climbing out of ventnor isle of wight ,?
Thank-you!
Beautiful! Thank-you!
Love that deep exhaust note.
Outrageous!!! Awesome!!!!
Nothing quite like the 680!!!!
The engine is actually a Gardner 6HLXB, but quite a noisy one ! The first time I heard this vehicle from a distance, I thought it was a 0.680 too !
@@captainscutter Thankyou for letting me know
Stunning noise from the 680 and very well driven
Stunning noise from the 680
Well done and nice scenery from Beer to Seaton South Devon.
A Bristol RE with a working speedo is a rare beast indeed!
It shouldn't be, its illegal to drive without a working speedo, I used to work in the repair dept of a bus company. Once upon a time, the police used to think that a normal service bus on a town route could not be guilty of breaking the speed limit due to its high number of stops and the closeness of the stops. These days however, buses are used less so the distance between actual stops could be reasonable and speed cameras can and do catch buses speeding.
Superb driving
Very nicely driven.
Gardener powered?
souds like it!
Nice drive, sounds great !!! . When I was growing up we mainly had the direct air shift in the leopards and the Atlanteans, just before the government got rid of them, we started to get the Atlanteans with this type of shifter. When I was a kid I was more captivated in how the pneumatic type worked,, I always wanted one.. and now I rebuild them many many years later it's wonderful, to see they are still going, all the hard work that goes into them .
Fantastic driver, beautiful gear changes. What a delight to watch.
even the neutral lamp works
the RE's on our school run used to rattle like that, ECW
Nostalgia
I love buses
This is a delight. That glorious sound and a driver who really respects and understands the vehicle, no "performing" for the audience, or showing off - experience shines.
Bravissima
Great video , nice bus, nìce driver ,but the steering technique is APPALLING.. I subscribe anyway keep it up just learn for your mistakes have a great day.
What's wrong with his steering?
No power steering on those REs, with Alford and Alder front axles and low geared steering boxes to compensate
WHY? do people talk when they should be listening after all it was an enthusiast's rally, but the faithful Gardner engine made herself heard above some of the ignorent passengers, the bus was driven well.
It is a Leyland 0.680 engine Paul
@@captainscutter Your right Mike I've listened to her again, I'm either loosing it or those noisy passengers or proberly both, but I like the way she was driven with respect, Eastern county buses used to have undercover inspectors travelling on the REs and VRs to make sure the drivers weren't pushing the gears through to fast and stretching the bands in the gearbox, if driven like the driver in the video thy would last and be reliable for years, thank you Mike for putting me right and posting these great videos, ps the 680 Leyland wasn't a bad engine at all but the Gardner was the gaffers engine out the two.
@@paulwilson3083 .... Thankyou for your comments... that was me driving ! I am very lucky that some owners trust me to drive their pride and joy. Southdown used to have driving instructors out to check the driving in the late 70s and early 80s. The Gardner is a superb engine...but always like the power and noise of the Leyland 0.680
@@captainscutter Believe me Mike those bus owners wouldn't let you near the steering wheel if they thought you weren't at the high standard required to drive them, I shudder when I watch young drivers of today, if they started with under powered Gardner engines and David Brown gearboxes they would learn how to read the road ahead and keep them rolling instead of living on the brakes especially when going down dips when they've got to get up the other side, there a shambles, modern vehicles in themselves have lowered the standards of drivers, I just can't get drivers with the right skills anymore, thank you so much for posting these great videos Mike, kindest regards. Paul.
That's what I like to see, a Gardner engine not using too many revs through the gears, as the driver obviously knows they are a long stroke engine designed to run slow and that's where there best torque is, the gearbox was used perfecly as well, if rushed the bands in them stretch, that was a treat to watch, thank you, your bus will last year's with that sort of professional care.
Chris is a good friend of mine. He drives it like an expert. He's also acquired a 1966 Leyland Leopard L2T in Stratford Blue livery(HAC628D)
Could be leyland 680 engine as they were used in the Bristol RE.
Great sound
Proper gear changes 👍 non of this slam it in from gear to gear. Good man 😀. Love the sound. Nice old buses those RE’s
It was a good event, great trips on a favourite Bristol VR.
Takes me back a few years! Felt a bit sorry for the handbrake pawl though!
RE mk 1 flat front top left corner off drivers side window is curved like the mw,s pull lever hand brake not the little dash board mounted gas hand brake, it most be a very early RE bus green paint in the driver's cabin not the cream kind off formica and the shorter flat windscreen old still wipers, remember seeing these in the 60,s in Gloucester when our family went over to Gloucester from Stroud in the car. a very early RE bus but it,s still has that re sound, i lived in Stroud at the time i was only a small kid at the time, in Seroud we had the older mw buses so bid Gloucester but they had these early type off RE buses, i youst to refer the Gloucester RE,s as Gloucester buses because they were mainly in Gloucester
I'm glad my RE isn't the only one without a working speedo...
There's a tacho just by my left knee cap
Had a swine of a job to get it working on mine - some electrical jiggery-pokery fixed it in the end but I suspect there are more REs in preservation without a working speedo than working ones!
Thanks for those kind words, Mike. All I can see are the mistakes I made.☹️
Superb, enjoyed every minute of this
Boarding Red Falcon. Note the air-horn sounds like a train horn.
Superb. Just Superb.
Perfect...
I've never heard one rev that high!.
