It was always something I wanted to do when I was a bus driver - still, seeing it on Top Gear was the next best thing! ;D ;D ;D

Well done to the Dennis Dart, they are definatly a very succesful type as there are still thousands operating all over the country!

That was fantastic lol. Very impressed with the Dart, though after being on many driven by First Essex, it didn't suprise me ;D Laughed immensley at the Olympian tipping though

Does anyone remember when Hammond said this was a test to find the most suitable LONDON BUS, well there was a little truth in that as the step entrance dart which won was ex Metrobus ;D

Also impressed with the Dart; I can't say I'm surprised that it won - look how nippy it is  I'd love to join in a race like that one day - someone will have to lend me a Euro-3 DLA first  |

You wouldn't stand a chance in my Euro III Voith Trident. Far, far superior!! ;D As fir your comment Bighat, i'd love to know where because you don't get much in Romford...well, except GY 499 drivers and their E200Darts  |

Well, judging from all the reports posted about this driver thrashing the nuts off that bus, I got the impression it was widespread. Obviously they're not ELBG drivers ;D Strange you should say that. I have been concerned for some time at the speed some drivers traverse the 'hail and ride' sections of the 366. I don't even drive my car at such speeds, the roads and parked cars make it unsafe to do so. However, there IS plenty of 'vroom', squeal (braking) and crunch for the avid enthusiast to get off on. Got to get your priorities right here! |
