CX15 BXS - 4641:

2nd favourite CX15 at Chester (just about beating 4645) it sounded really good and was pretty fast, definitely one of the better buses today


CX58 EUD - 2663:

It was good but not as good as it was last time no kickdown on this trip, been told today this has apparently recently been fitted with a rev limiter.


YJ60 KFU:

P&O Lloyd definitely have better Solo's than Arriva this sounded better than last time as well.


CX15 BXU - 4642:

It sounded fantastic with it's cooling fan but a slow driver with no higher revs made it impossible for me to film because of it, and then expecting a better driver to take over, we did but it wasn't a driver changeover


CX15 BXV - 4643:

It was a bus exchange, it sounded ok but not the best one at all.


CX58 EUF - 2665:

Basically the same as 2663 except it did kickdown a couple of times.


DK04 NNB:

I've had 18 years to get this thing on the 6 and I've managed to get it at last, this had a cooling fan on at the start of the journey which I thought sounded quite good, the bus itself was a pocket rocket and it sounded amazing.


CX12 DTK - 3145:

Found this bus a very awful bus! Idle vibrations, rattles, even turbo leak anything that makes it a shed made it a shed.


MX09 EKP - 2935:

One of my favourite Pulsar 2's! Kickdowned a few times but as the same story goes it wasn't as good as last time.


CX15 BXU - 4642:

Not fast but faster and managed to get high revs in finally to record it, it sounded fantastic!


KX61 DLJ - 15744:

I find Scania's a 50/50 this one seemed decent!


CX15 BXR - 4640:

Not my favourite one at all! a lot of squeaking, rattling and not a loud engine at all
