Hello, and welcome to my little corner of You Tube!
As my channel suggests I am a lover of Bristol VRs. Having lived within the boundaries of Southdown all my life they have always been around and my interest in them has grown over the years. I am the co-owner of ex Southdown/Brighton & Hove Bristol VR JWV 270W, and the owner of ex Southdown/Brighton & Hove Dual Door Bristol VR UFG 625S.
It is intended to keep you up to date with the restoration of 625 on this channel, as well as sharing some of my other interests with you. These include bellringing and railways.
Loved my constructor mixer and 10 speed spicer set up, pre-select high or low ready for the next gear and just dip the clutch and so it continued, micro switch used to wear and the air filter on the box used to clog up which would delay gear selection sometimes🙈
When I first started driving ,my first truck was a leyland roadtrain ! Not knowing any better I thought it was great ……….until a year later I got a DAF 3600 ! It was like stepping into the future . Today driving a Volvo FH16 750 hp across Europe I can only be grateful that technology didn’t end with that DAF 3600……although I do miss the fact that when I first started the speed limiter was my right foot and there were no mobile phones or cameras watching my every move ! Once I left the yard I was uncontactable …..yet the work still got done !
Very good double de clutching pretty slick driving. Only thing with the splitter so much leg work. Preferred the Eaton Fuller range change in my brothers Constructor far less bother. Leyland made very good trucks back in the day. Non assisted clutch needed a left leg like Arnie😁❤
We're these layland engines based on the same principle as ee locomotive engines loadsnof fuel to aid compression rather than heat and fire one cylinder at a time?
I've been lucky enough to drive a few T45's , day cab,sleeper cab and a couple of Scammell versions. Build quality wasn't the best but they were very nice to drive and the mattress was comfortable in the sleeper cabs.
HUM HUM,!!! what drug are you on, it is a Leyland National not a Dyson Vacuum Cleaner, they whine clatter and knock filling the air with their aroma of badly burnt diesel. One thing a MK 1 National does not doe not do ,is HUM!!.
@@basiltaylor8910 Maybe not the best choice of word, but I hear a hum or a whine. Correct, it's not like a vacuum cleaner. And people get far too worked up over trivial things online.
@@josephd.2725 That is maybe so, as a teenager in the late,70,s early 80,s I rode these beasts when thrashed to an inch of their lives fully loaded on Stroud Depots many steep twisty routes .Standing in Stroud Bus Station in midwinter you could choke on the 510,s fumes and see a cloud of oily blue smoke spew forth from the arse end of a Mk1 National waddling out of Stroud Bus Station Station fully loaded with kids and disgruntled shoppers. That is why I got up so much steam, saying a 510 hums , er keep taking the medication,. To me Boy George,s Culture Club Spandau Ballet and a screaming 510 brings back memories of a world before it went mad!!!
I stand by what I say regarding the 510 ,it clatters, screams and howls filling the air with its perfume of hot metal@@skylined5534,oil, and diesel. Have you ridden a Tesco Margarine Tub ?,yes an Enviro 200, a strimmer engine with a bus body attached, f-----g awful things.
Extended Bodies for Most of the Buses Much as I am not comfortable asking the depot why they stopped running the London Suburban Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Gardner 6LX and Gardner 6LXC Diesel Engine Olympian ECW’s on routes 30, 121, 230, 271, 349, N279 And 158 why can’t we make the same make of the Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Gardner 6LX and Gardner 6LXC Diesel Engine Olympian ECW Buses but Modernise the insides of these Buses. Also, make it low floor up and down and also extend the middle body part of these vehicles a little bit more so there will be more space for the wheelchair users. By the way, if you could remake and Modernise these vehicles could they also make them into a Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Gardner 6LX and Gardner 6LXC Diesel Engine Olympian ECW Version’s that if it will be possible to Modernise the insides of these Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Gardner 6LX and Gardner 6LXC Diesel Engine Olympian ECW’s make it low floor up and down and also extend the middle body part of these vehicles a little bit more so there will be more space and even a London Suburban 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Scania N230UD Enviro 400 MMCs and 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Gardner 6LX Diesel engine Enviro 400 MMC’s and also extend the middle the body part of these vehicles a little bit more. Why couldn’t we have those London Suburban Buse's Pale red on the top roof Pale red again on the top middle Milk Chocolate brown on the middle Creamy white on the Bottom Middle and Milk Chocolate Brown again on the Bottom on most of those kinds of those Particular Double Decker Vehicles? Could you put the Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox in the Scania N230UD Enviro 400 MMCs and also put the Loud 3-Speed Voith Diwa Gearbox in the Volvo TD102KF Engine East Lancs Olympus and also extend the the middle body part of these vehicles a little bit more and also turn most of them to a London Suburban Buses. By the way, could you also make the routes 349, 121, N279 and 271 into a London Suburban Buses and have a a mixture of a Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Scania N230UD Enviro 400 MMC and Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Gardner 6LX and Gardner 6LXC Diesel Engine Olympian ECW Versions. Could they also transfer the Arriva Bus Depots from Hackney to Stagecoach company so they can replace all the Arriva buses so that all of them can go to Birmingham and Leeds and they can be replaced by Stagecoach Loud 3-Speed Voith Diwa Gearbox Volvo TD102KF Engine East Lancs Olympus and also Extend the Middle body part of these Vehicles and that includes A Mixture of a Stagecoach Loud 3-Speed Voith Diwa Gearbox Volvo TD102KF, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 6LXCT Engine Northern Counties Palatine One and that Includes a Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Gardner 6LX Diesel engine Enviro 400 MMC’s and Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Scania N230UD Enviro 400 MMC Vehicles A Little Bit More?

If all of the 14 Leyland Titan B15s are Fully Red and even Mostly Red, could they also Repaint All of Those 14 Leyland Titan B15s into Grey Green Colours Just Like The Other Original Scania Grey Green on the Bus Route 313 so they can Reuse them for Only Every 6 and a Half Months and also Reuse them on those Rail Replacement London Bus Routes if that will Be Alright for Only Just Every 6 and a Half Months, starting from the beginning of October and also Reuse Those Buses Only on the London Bus Routes which are The 341, N41, 34, 123, N29, 149, 221, N73, 121, 86, 30, 262, 147, 396, 41, and N26 so Please make sure that the builders can do as they are told!!!!
