Bus-Related Outings & Reviews

[V671 DVU]

RE: Bus-Related Outings & Reviews
I headed out on the usual Liverpool and Birkenhead trip despite the weather, this is what I rode:

6 Huyton to Liverpool (7664) - Pretty average. It was very fast, but rattled a lot. The main culprits being a seat towards the back, and the usual cab rattles.

10B Liverpool to Prescot Road (2574) - The worst of the Commander's. It was very rattly for a Commander, with some loud rattles coming from the cab area. It was fast though. The weird thing is, this is the worst GL Commander and it's far from a bad bus!

13 West Derby Road to Liverpool (2577) - Quite nice. Held a good turn of speed, and was solid bodywise.

487 Liverpool to Birkenhead (2426) - Awful! It was solid, and sounded nice but was really sluggish. It nearly came to a standstill going up the hill in the tunnel!

72 Birkenhead to Liverpool (First 61139) - This was a nice bus. It's engine sounded nice, and it was solid. But was let down by ANOTHER slow driver!

13 London Road to West Derby Road (7671) - Awful! It rattled and banged constantly, and gave me a headache with it's stupidly loud engine. I'd happily wave that heap off to PVS.

15 West Derby Road to Liverpool (3073) - Fantastic! The driver was very fast, she pretty much floored it down West Derby Road. It barely rattled as well.

7 Liverpool to Huyton (2310) - Awful! That bus is shockingly sluggish, nearly stopping up Brownlow Hill and crawling at 10MPH up there! It also vibrated in idle. The only good thing about that bus is it's solid as a rock, barely rattling even on the rougher parts of the route.

Hope you enjoyed
