Bus Drivers know how to drive properly just a shame others don't 🙃

[@SleekitFkr]

Not entirely sure about that but any professional driver “should” try to be as good as they can be. 👍

[@J4CK574]

Completely agree on that one

I drive bus in London I wish I can have route like this. Such a beautiful place

[@SleekitFkr]

I'm lucky and get mostly country with a wee visit to the city now and then. Wait until you see it summer! 😊

[@theeverythingchannel4833]

I've listened to the bus and counted the gears it's Deff a 5 speed Alison in that they sound really good

[@TravelswithBillybob]

Silky smooth

[@bussesandmore1263]

I do like a good old e200 nothing better ! Quite a nice route

[@SleekitFkr]

Thanks. Luckily we never met a timber lorry on that day, it can become real problematic if they’re met at the wrong spot! It is a lovely route especially when summer comes along. A nice bus to drive even if it is a little older 😊

[@bussesandmore1263]

Have a nice weekends@@SleekitFkr

3:18 the steering seems well off centre

[@SleekitFkr]

Wheel is off but it steers fine! 😅

[@roberttaylor5739]

Nice Video, fab scenery aswell.
I think engineering need to re-align that steering wheel.
P.S I think you missed a pothole about 10 minutes in, other than that you hit every other one perfectly...
All in jest, nice POV

[@SleekitFkr]

😂 Yes, pretty hard to avoid. The always think it sounds worse that it is due to all the rattling

[@barrystewart140]

How can you put up with all that noise, ? Everything rattling would drive me crazy

[@SleekitFkr]

Just something you get used to and tune out!

[@ohnolookwho241]

when things stop rattling thats when you start worrying.

[@tramwaj]

As I see it, Scottish roads are in similar maintenance condition as the Polish ones :v

[@SleekitFkr]

Very true mate, the roads are in a shocking state and getting gradually worse!

[@theeverythingchannel4833]

Does that have the Alison trans in it it sounds like it

[@TravelswithBillybob]

I wouldn’t know for certain but I believe that ADL have used those transmissions in their vehicles so could be.

[@johnhall4917]

I was expecting it to be a 4 speed Voith gearbox but sounds like an Allison gearbox.

[@SleekitFkr]

@@johnhall4917All news to me 😁 It is very smooth whatever it is.

[@Healthlifereporter]

My guess is, you've done that route before

[@TravelswithBillybob]

Yup, one of the regular runs for me. Not so pleasant in the dark of winter!

[@petergreen8317]

Not checking mirrors or blindspots

[@TravelswithBillybob]

Guilty as charged. Hope you still enjoyed the vid despite my indiscretions!

[@user-no9xg6mf3g]

Why do you have to do it with a pen

[@SleekitFkr]

I find it more accurate than my finger tip which often activates one of the items surrounding my target!
