This Became Tighter than Expected 😅

This was a rather nasty trip from Middleton through Youlgrave to Alport. Traffic seemed busier than usual and combined with lots of parked cars made it difficult for such a long bus to get through!
Things start getting interesting from 4:07 to the end of the video.

Watching a craftsman who knows every inch of his vehicle, top job 👏

the sound of these will always live in my mind

[@glynfill-bowkett5905]

this bus sounds a beauty ;)

[@driftlegend5968]

this bus sounds amazing

[@neilburns8869]

This is the thing with many of these country roads, you really have to give and take.
Just generally have a mutual respect for one and other.🤝
But good driving anyway, and a beautiful morning for it too.

I love the solar eclipse sound

[@britishtransportphotos]

This is not an eclipse, the eclipse urban is on the Volvo chassis. The urban body on the Scania chassis is a solar urban

[@liamoconnor2718]

wow that was must have been a very tight one for you :D

[@neilburns8869]

I was trying to work out what make your bua was, Volvo by any chance?

[@britishtransportphotos]

It’s a Scania L94UB Wright Solar

[@StagecoachMANALX300]

Agree! Horrendous parking from locals and I honestly think, the other drivers are being inconsiderate towards you and the bus.

[@ggpeakexplorer4009]

Generally the locals know it's a bus route so try and park as out the aay as possible, it's the tourists and other visitors who don't always think. Main obstacle I found here were other road users panicking and not knowing where to go!

[@Daring4911]

where else they supposed to park

[@Johnny-kt1tj]

Great vid mate which bus would u say has more power and faster acceleration the b7rle or the scania solar ?

[@cam43002]

Solar by far

[@WelshBusSpotter08]

wouldn't it make more sense to use something small like a solo on this route?

[@ggpeakexplorer4009]

The way it interworks with school routes and various other routes anything ends up on it. I've even had a decker on this before, there was alot of banging from the trees!
