Bus-Related Outings & Reviews

[V671 DVU]

RE: Bus-Related Outings & Reviews
I had a day out to Liverpool & Birkenhead today, this is what I rode:

6 Huyton to Liverpool (2721) - This was quite good. It held an excellent turn of speed, and sounded great due to the ZF gearbox.

407 Liverpool to Birkenhead (4200) - This was good. It did rattle a bit, but a lot less than it's sisters. It sounded quite good, too.

411 Birkenhead to New Brighton (4002) - This was OK. The engine sounded fantastic, but the Gearbox was jerky and it rattled a lot.

410 New Brighton to Liscard Village (2345) - Fantastic! It sounded great, and barely rattled. Need I say more?

413 Liscard Village to Birkenhead (2428) - This was poor. It hardly rattled, but was very sluggish up hills. Nearly coming to a standstill regularly.

407 Birkenhead to Liverpool (4201) - What a dire bus. It rattled constantly, and you couldn't even hear the engine over the cooling fan.

8 Liverpool to Prescot Road (7625) - This caught my eye as it's been NFS for a number of months. It was pretty poor to be honest, rattled very violently. It did sound quite nice, and was relatively fast.

18 West Derby Road to Liverpool (2576) - This was excellent. It held an excellent turn of speed, and didn't rattle. Commander's are definitely my favourite modern buses.

8 Liverpool to Huyton (7658) - Was made up to see my favourite Dart come in! It was great as usual, excellent engine with the only fault being that rattly window!

That's a round up of today, enjoy reading folks.
