Mk 3 MDI

A very BCI looking interior.

The gearbox sounds like North And Western’s PMC Leopards from 1981 but the engine sounds less typical 680 raucousness. Is it an L11 a non turbo TL11? It sounds more like a Hino 13 litre has been put in.

The Leyland Leopard PMC Progress was from the Red Top Transport bus depot at Wangee Road Lakemba.

Love the exhaust note on this bus!

Sounds incredible! Is there any difference between the Leyland Leopard and the Tiger?

I converted this exact bus to a motorhome and live in it with my wife and 4 kids now... 😂

This 3rd gear whine is perfect!

I LOVE TRAINS

Preferred 8595 when it was in Kiama Coaches yellow livery. But gotta fit into the Premier group eventually. Sounds like a new power steering pump is in order with that uncharacteristic whining under load.

How come you don’t upload as much anymore?:)

Great ZF sound.

Itu kan gak ada Rusak

Just getting the job done 💪💛

Another Victorian bus immigrant

Looks amazing.

Ride quality? I went on 7034 a few weeks back and it rattled like mad. It was just a few loose screws though so hopefully they have been (or will be) fixed.

These ones do most of the 164 routes and sometimes a feel of the local shuttle loop services in Cessnock.

Is Hillsbus cdc nsw now?

I rode this twice now but it’s feels faster than the Custom Denning Element.

Looks amazing

Nice and empty too!

You should try number 20 it’s my afternoon bus and it’s a great bus

I want the crbs back

this was a very nice unit to ride on the day. indeed a very nice sounding bus

I’ve been on loads of crbs but not recorded them it’s sad to see that these buses were retired

Hop On Only Includes Normal Buses for School Holidays before Normal Weekdays and Weekends Returns (Back to Normal) Towards Marsfield (Stop at Marsfield) before All the Passengers Kids gets Taken then I’ll be Onboard Sleeping and Spitting on Back Seat Right Side Number 5

The Livery of these buses was very similiar to the livery of the WMPTE Metrobuses in Birmingham UK but a lighter blue

I have a question on the Sydney metro opening day where will these buses be doing there routes at for that day I’m going there so I need to know

Never been on a man somehow lol

Where’s all the wind noise coming from, in a coach?

This is the fancier model of the one I drove for well over a decade, mine was an early 80's model with an International 6 cylinder and Allison automatic. Loud, slow, smoky but the most reliable bus we had. When it was semi-retired it was still often called out to rescue broken down new buses that were bought back then, it was made fun of but in hindsight it should have been appreciated more for it's rugged simplicity and reliability. It's good to see people keeping some of them alive. The other one we had was a mid 80's with a manual 5 speed straight-piped V8, that thing sounded awesome taking off at wide open throttle, an older bloke drove that for over a decade too before retiring and passing it onto a younger driver. Don't see any them anymore I think the old LPG systems killed them off.

Never been to Newcastle might go there one day

It only feels like yesterday that these buses were rolling on our roads. These and the faithful Scania 14.5m on the good old 400 route. I only 37yo and all my youth/young adult buses are gone. Very sad

THATS SO SAD

Ex Transdev #515 still wins.

Ex Ventura #75

do you know if there are any new buses coming to nowra coaches?
