This was used in On The Buses

The tunefulness comes from the transmission, ie gearbox and rear axle

LT11 Is LTZ1011 & Become Electric

0:43 wtf 💀

For a brief period, in 1964, Green Line 727 ran from Tring to London with a section on M1 south of Hemel Hempstead Hempstead. Flat out was i think about 55mph, just about enough to keep up with the traffic of the day !

cute ❤

Not a mention of AEC😩

2024 Gibt es den Wagen noch?

The breaks need sorting out the are squeaky

Makes me wish I was young again when these types of buses were everywhere and we took them for granted...

I love trains

I like the sound of the train when it sets off

1516 always did whistle even when on service runs if i remember just a lovely moter to drive wish i could drive her again. Ive still got my licence

I used to drive this bus in service 2849 was mainly on 251 service WG to Southend

Just curious. Why would a bus be built in this way in the pass???

Totally filled with nostalgia watching this . Have been on that bus loads of times as a boy . Number 7 from Shoeburyness to Southend. I remember prefering to let the eastern national buses to pass in favour of the fleetlines as i loved the engine note as they changed gear .. been to many a bus festival in the hope i can ride a fleetline again

Looks too "Shōwa Era"

We had them on our 130 bus route way back in 1991-1992.

09년생으로써 진짜 신기하다...

Service was 151 not 251 used it twice a day for 4 yrs. Good bus.

I used to travel on them when I used to visit my Aunt's in catford/Eltham on those bus constructions

Not sure if I've ever travelled on these - but yes to the RT buses, especially when a youngster in the 1970s

RM 978, that'll be WLT 978.

Is that Southend perchance?

On occasions we rode on this (good old) bus on the number 13 route.

Effortless cruising, courtesy of a Gardner 6LX and a wonderful Bristol RE

Seems quite strange to hear the sounds of a semi-auto Gardner accompanied by the RE whine - in bodywork more accustomed to being powered by a little Bedford......actually takes some getting used to!

My special needs son really likes classic buses 🚌🚍🚎🚐 like that one! He says that the AEC Bridgemaster is the kind of bus Bulgy is in the Railway Series 🛤 and Thomas The Tank Engine and Friends!

¡ GIBRALTAR ESPAÑOL !

Sounds a bit like an AEC Renown [3.50]🙂

These buses were retired in 2019 by all the operators that ran them so there fleet would be 100% wheelchair accessible

I grew up with these buses😕 and now most of them have gone😓

i'm not sure if you're still actively using this channel but katie indeed is still alive and hasn't rotted away! in fact, i'm actually standing right next to her as i speak

My local independent operated 2 Arabs dating from the mid 40s. They were still in service until 1972. One had a very rough sounding engine while the other was much smoother running. I’m not sure if that was the result of an upgrade to one or a retro fit of an older engine to the other. Silcox had a very mixed fleet but some talented fitters 😂

Going to school on the 124 bus in the 1960s - such an evocative sound.

Love the noise buses are dull and boring now I know I sound a nerdy but the highlight of my childhood was riding on these❤

278

This is 11 years old and just popped uo. Nice looking bus.

I love the whine on that engine....looks like the ticket machine has been removed?

As a boy in West Yodks, we had to wait for the RELL before we experienced the S.C.G. whine. Our Lodekkas were crash box. Also as I was young, I was so much in awe of these beasts that I never cottoned on to just how painfully slow and under powered they were. Never mind. I practically learned to drive by spending many hours knelt on the bench seat watching the driver and learning engine sympathy. Good (if slow) days.

I personally love the sound of the Cummins engine in the Dennis Dart, but in all honesty nothing sounds as good as an AEC engined bus, like the routemaster, not sure if the Leyland Titan PD 2 or 3(RT) ever had an AEC engine. To be honest, I recently had a ride in one of the new BYD double deckers and it's just weird being on a bus and hearing just a little whirring sound instead of a beautiful sounding 6 or 4 cylinder diesel engine.

Nice one

Lovely music! RMs are OK but there's nothing like an RT! In LT days, once the bus was in top, third was pre-selected; I don't ever recall the lever being left in the top position. (Observations from decades of sitting where the camera operator sat).

I've never seen a red interior "FS".... It looks really nice. I know you could get the earlier "K" types in red or green, but I thought that by the time the "F" series Lodekka had started "ECW" had standardised on Green interiors regardless of the exterior colour scheme.

I used to go to school in the late 60s early 70s on Lodekkas there was a mix of front and rear door models that did the run. This brings back many happy memories.
