Bus-Related Outings & Reviews

RE: Bus-Related Outings & Reviews
Today I went over to Runcorn to find 674 after I haven't ridden on it for ages, and I ended up getting the following:


10 - Golftyn Celyn Avenue - Chester Bus Interchange
Alexander Dennis Enviro400 - CX15 BXR 4640

Was pretty nice, did sit on the top deck to relax, was very comfortable and very chillaxing, not many rattles to be heard either, overall a decent vehicle.




X30 - Chester Bus Interchange - Grange St Chads School (Driver Changeover point)
MAN EcoCity // Caetano City Gold - MX13 AAN 5003

I don't really know how to judge these type of buses, made various sounds during the trip and started to get louder the longer the journey, Somethign then Happened when we were at the Driver Changeover Point...



X30 - Grange St Chads School (Driver Changeover point) - Runcorn Palace Fields Halton Hospital
VDL SB200 // Wright Pulsar 2 - MX10 CZE 3041

This took over from 5003 on the 09:33 X30, I didn't really pay much attention as I was looking for my stop, the bus itself sounded nice but that's all I can confirm.



3A - Runcorn Palace Fields Halton Hospital - Runcorn Palace Fields Halton Hospital (Weston Circular)
Optare Solo - CX58 EUB 674

Successful Catch of this one! This one sounded pretty nice, sounded quite different to when I last rode it, however it vibrated in idle and was somewhat a bit sluggish when going up the hills (not sure if that's down to the driver or the bus) however I did still enjoy the ride itself.



X30 - Runcorn Palace Fields Halton Hospital - Chester Bus Interchange
Man EcoCity // Caetano City Gold - MX13 ABF 5009

This was an interesting one, in gears 1 and 2 it sounded like a quieter version of a B7RLE, In Gears 3+ it sounded like it was on a train track, especially when slowing down, it was an interesting ride, my plan was to record it (along with previous videos of 5003 and 674 which I need to upload onto my YT channel) but my battery drained just before I got on. Still a nice ride.



10A - Chester Bus Interchange - Golftyn Hare & Hounds
VDL SB200 // Wright Pulsar 2 - CX12 DTN 3146

Amazing! Sounded fantastic and barely rattled, with a nice whistle when slowing down too, both drivers really did well with the vehicle, a nice day today.




Hopefully soon enough I can do more of these days out on the buses and post them here.
