Onboard Cab View from Leyland Lynx G293KWY undergoing a roadtest following a replacement engine and gearbox being fitted. Preserved in Cleveland Transit livery.
I know that area very well. Used to go up there from Teesside a few years ago when I was training (ultimately unsuccessfully I will add) to be a Driving Instructor at Stone Hills in Pelaw. It looks even better when viewed from the front window of Lynx. Love the sound she makes too. Really enjoyed that. Thanks for posting.
I cannot agree. How could something so uncomfortable to drive and so ugly, follow the National in which the cab was designed round the driver. A day driving one of these was harder than a week in most other buses.
Can't believe how you English have been brainwashed into relinquishing your pride. The Japanese Truck brands have steadfastly held onto their engines despite emissions difficulties because they believe the engine is the heart of their product.
@@jamesfrench7299 I’m not sure we’re ‘relinquishing our pride’ instead we continue to honour British built vehicles with more efficient, cleaner and more powerful engines.
Apparently the TL 11, you know, your engine, not a foreigner's, met California's emissions standards at the time they were produced. They sound lovely, and had a good turn of poke in 245hp form. It had AEC DNA in the heads as well. It don't get more British than that.
@@jamesfrench7299 crucially that’s the point ‘at the time’ not now. I am a fan of powerful, grumbling diesels certainly, but ‘those foreign’ ones you speak of, can be just as charismatic.
We had a huge fleet of lynx in the west midlands both West Midlands travel and midland red they were so comfortable and loved all the glass made it so airy inside
I always thought the sloped window looked old fashioned and rather odd. Our bus co (kly west yorks) had a blue and cream one on trial but didn't find it a favourable replacement for the Nationals.
Awesome video and a long lost bus engine noise i miss around weston where i live,badgerline had a few of these! Only thing i never worked out or found out is why the drivers window was always on an angle on the lynx's?!!!!
