Thanks! I've only driven the one B7TL which was the training bus (8300). By far and away, one of the best buses I'd ever driven! I only wish I'd driven them in service when they were at Southport years ago.
@Welsh bus enthusiast Unfortunately, 4110 was transfered to Chester shortly after I started my loan spell at St Helens though to be honest, I doubt it would have mattered since it was almost exclusively kept on the 31s and I was only cleared to work 352s, 395s and 37s. I have been asking about covering Rail Replacements in the future though and Bootle still have a B7TL which does occasionally see action so I may push for that instead. 😁
@@TheFlatCapFromWN5 That’s a good idea. Rail replacements with a B7TL would be brilliant. Most Rail Replacements use motorways as well, so you could get a good run out of one.
I miss these on the 362, they had great kickdowns unlike these E200MMCS That are all yellow apart from the odd red/blue go ahead, Great video
What a great run! Have you had a chance to drive any of the Volvo B7TL ALX400s yet?

@@TheFlatCapFromWN5 You never know, you might be able to drive one at St. Helen’s if you’re still there!
