I saw a S-reg DLA in Arriva training livery pass my flat on the A406 - any idea which it is?
Also DLA 13 and 15 are still at WN on routes like the 144 - about time for an internal refurbishment methinks!

Not being funny, i even remember LT designed vehicles making noises!!! IMO, i don't care what noises a bus makes, as long as it runs, is comfortable (to todays standards) and gets me from A to B, i'm happy ;D

And for me the S-reg DLAs sure provide me with a comfortable ride - no harsh braking and bench seats. What more do I want? ;D

TBH I cannot stand the weird or loud noise that buses make especially when it is loud like volvos, tridents and darts.

Thing is, i know one or 2 TA's at NS that are noisy, but have no weird sounds!!! 17132 and 17137 are bloody noisy as hell, but no weird noises.
Oh, forgot to mention that i think 18452 is starting to make a slight noise while under acceleration

I've heard a lot of talk of East London Tridents making sounds, now Selkent's 52 reg ones are getting in on the act. I was on 17580 which was fine, then all of sudden 17590 went passed making huge screams sounds, sounded also like it was clanking.

Also DLA 13 and 15 are still at WN on routes like the 144 - about time for an internal refurbishment methinks! Sounds like DLA37 to me, it's just been re-painted for Tottenham. Saw DLA24 in Seven Sisters, yet to be painted. Not sure why he had his rear fog light on in broad daylight at around 4 this afternoon... I was riding on DLA200, the exhaust is blowing or silencer has gone or something... Earlier in the day, one of Arriva's new sightseeing buses (the new East Lancs bodied B9TL's) passed me by Buckingham Gate, Victoria, even these Volvo's have really loud fans, so it's not just a B7 problem... The noise was deafening Though this bus is too new (LJ07***) to be clapped out... ;D

Got on DMC41496 this evening, and that's sounding rough. In fact, most of DM's DMC's are sounding rough!!! The only one that doesn't is DMC41527
As for ELBG's Tridents, 17993 has LOST its whining noise, which is actually a shame. However, i think 17988 is developing the same noise
