G142HNP Leyland Lynx / Midland Red West - Walsall to Rushall 

Nothing beats the acceleration of these, they were the most powerful buses especially when the driver used to floor them!

I loved driving these on the 607 years ago between Uxbridge to Shepherd’s Bush. Cracking acceleration! Run to timetable as far as the old Hanwell Garage then as traffic allows!👍

I remember these as a kid. That noise and front end are unique.

The scream of the engine and the acceleration on these are unreal.

The Lynx was a marvellous bus when it first came out en masse in 1990. Living in Daisy Bank, near Coseley at the time, we were served by WMT’s 225 and 226 services and MRW’s 270 service. All travelling between Bilston and Dudley. Both WMT and MRW’s routes were Lynx operated G-reg models. I was so fascinated by the two variants. How the same bus could be so different in spec. The MRW buses always felt rather bare compared to the WMT ones. So, the WMT Lynx’s were my favourite, but I preferred the MRW Lynx’s side seat behind the driver’s cab, because as a curious 10/11 year old, I could watch the driver and see all of the controls. The WMT ones had a luggage rack in this space on theirs, so I could only observe the driver by sitting on the side seat next to the doors. Happy memories, great times.👍🏼☺️

I'm missing those buses already

My favourite buses of all. ACCELERATION!!! Nothing ever matched them :-D

Sat my test on G148 HNP 😊😊

Loved these mrw Leyland lynx buses

Great buses miss them

Only ever driven one lynx, had it for one duty, was a lot nicer to drive than it looked, quick and it had really nice brakes. I liked Leyland buses, Titans, Atlanteans and Olympians, driven them all.

Nicely driven - well played!

Nice bus from a passenger point of view but I hated the driving position because of the pillars from the sloped screen on the drivers side. Still a good video and a like from me anyway.

I've never understood the reason for the odd windscreen arrangement. Why is the drivers windscreen pushed in like that?

Great video

Memories of these on the 143/144 MRW services.

Please upload a video for going Rushall primary school walsal pelsal lane near education development center .

I've held a PCV licence for 18 years now and I've never driven a Lynx although I'd love to. Anyone know where I'd be able to take an opportunity to drive one?

We use a converted(2003) Lynx mk1 as Zapz Gaming bus ans after 30 years it is still quick up to 30mph

What was the reasoning behind the strange angled drivers window???

Is this a mk1 or 2 ??
