Oh yes! Dommo or MCW on motorway?. My experience is the MCWs were the faster but you didn't chance it in the wind. 1959 C959 LWJ 80 mph on M18, hit a gust of wind and straddled 3 lanes, scary beyond belief. On the other hand, 2480 D480 OWE going up hill from Junction 2 M18 with A1M towards Bramley doing 32 mph stuck in top gear-typical Doncaster bus-no kickdown. Tripe.

So is the answer "neither"? Should have been, if those two incidents are typical. Probably could have been pulled over for both of them...

Police not interested in Night Motorway work, apart from toilet stop Junction 1 M18, and many people breathing a sigh of relief whilst mother nature called. Better than doing it upstairs at the front and it finding its way into the cab via ceiling or cab window if you didnt close it fast enough. The use of standard dominators in the rush hour by Halfway on one of the Dinnington services did catch the attention of the police-2102 was the culprit i believe? 37mph flat out on M1-caused hold ups.

I think it did! better than on the drive at Greenland like the MK1s. 1944 1946 1958 1959 1960 Didnt last long at all soon after the closure. And 1945 was stuck inside with a couple of normal MK2s with galloping rear end rot.

And the best way to write a Fastline Metrobus off? put 1942 through OGs front wall and miss the Gas main by inches. And "god" did it!.

Photographic evidence exists! If we both think of the same person, he was originally a clippie. He is a "Fleet controller" at the moment. There is so much unpublishable stuff related to him, not least his run-ins with the management. |
