I went on a wild goose chase to find some of these buses ever again. ESPECIALLY the DAF one, in which only 3 of them to by knowledge still run in public service in the South East of England.
Moan over, here's another sound comparison of a bus I've been on alot in the past. No, it doesn't include gearbox differences either because I can't work them out myself lol.
Buses featured:
DAF/VDL DB250 - KL52 CWW - Arriva Kent & Surrey 6007
Dennis Trident 2 - LX55 ESO - Nu-Venture TAL480
Volvo B7TL - KP51 VZR - First Potteries 32067

As mentioned in the stream, words cannot express the amount of antics I went through just to film the DAF ALX400. Seriously. One day it would've broken down before I arrive, run a few services in the morning or just, not run at all. It was a wild goose chance for a bus type more rare than atoms of gold. If only I had bothered filming these back in the day... Anyway, I don't have any other bus sound comparisons planned. Normal train videos shall resume shortly :)

Good to hear 32067 is not a hoover anymore! Although it's not as characterful as it used to before it became a hoover in its Worcester days, it was truly was a beast back in the day :(

I'll have to take your word on it since I'm still a bit of a noob on this bus spotting thing.

Dennis trident 2 is the best

Kudos for the DAF ALX defo, I didn't even think they were running anymore (at least in public service). DT2 always for me - especially for those beastly Cummins engines (ISBe series in particular). I miss em in Glasgow. They were phased out by Firstbus in October 2021 in time for the COP26 summit.

@MaverickHunterDaniel 2 года назад

I didn't even know First had the tridents in the first place. I thought all of theirs were Volvo's. And thanks for the appreciation for the DAF too. Twenty years old and still running. Well just.

@@MaverickHunterDaniel We did have President-bodied B7TLs up until recently, some sold, most off to be witnessed in scrap valhalla - same for the tridents. 32300-32305 last B7s 33120 + 33358-33374 last DT2s All of em were new to First London. Our '54 plate Gemini B7TLs have up until the end of the year til they mate their fate.

@@MaverickHunterDaniel Nearly everything First ordered outside London was Volvo. However, there were plenty of Tridents ordered for London along with plenty of B7TLs and most of those Tridents stayed with First to go outside London all over Britain after First pulled out of London in 2013. The President and ALX400 Tridents on London registrations you saw all came from London, only a small batch of 5 VX54 reg ALX400s from Worcestershire are NOT native to London but were new to First

@AliGroves450 2 года назад

I prefer the trident engine, I am more familiar with it and it sounds nicer.

@kieranstravels 2 года назад

DAB DB250 reigns supreme.

What ones do you prefer

@gggggggg3542 2 года назад

Doesn't matter about the sound..... what really matters is the noxious fumes spouting out the rear when it's basically holding up other traffic. I hate buses, mobile roadblocks that are driven by morons........ especially the ones in Edinburgh, seems to be that the Highway Code doesn't apply, no indicators, pull out into traffic, don't give way, block junctions, and then there's the exhaust fumes - - - every bus seems to spout clouds of smoke (and I'm not kidding)

@MaverickHunterDaniel 2 года назад

Every type of vehicle, nay, industry where vehicles are used has their fair share of bad emission complience and bad drivers. I will never deny that, but don't say "every" when electric buses exist and are more common than ever.
