Interesting to see the 'E Bay' add; under 'Manufacturer' it states: 'London Routemaster Bus'  |

I notice the seller of 9814 can't decide what gearbox it has - it's a 5 spd ZF if anyone is interested. I didn't understand their description of it either. |

Former Tower Transit's 44222 YX12 AZA, 44313 YX12 AAJ, 44323 YX12 AVJ and 44326 YX12 reported over the weekend at Southampton docks awaiting export, presumably destined for New Zealand.

If I remember correctly this was the Trident retrofitted with a four speed Voith box, its original being the three speed variant. |

Sad end to a beast of a bus - I'd heard there was some fire damage a few weeks ago so didn't have high hopes of it making a comeback. Happy memories of fully blowing out its cobwebs on a little while back. It went really well, especially with use of the gear buttons. Like 9757, it had a habit of chewing through gearboxes which wasn't a good thing! |

I wonder if it's in part to do with them being long wheelbase, thus a bit more capacity. Hopefully they'll become more mighty machines under their new owners. |

This is the most suitable thread to ask, but what ever happened to the MCL's that use to run on route X26 when it was operated by Quality Line
?
