Custom Citaro

785 still in service. Was retired for over a year but revived along with various other NL232s

I think it still sounds better than a standard CB80 Scania. But doesn't top 1111, (2)841/43 in 2020-2021.

Keep up the good work, Nathan. I do have a video recording on my channel of 1501 bus in Port Pirie that I went on up there about a month ago. Bill's Channel 1987.

What is that hub or retarder noise that occurred at roughly 2:05? I haven't noticed in anything MANs newer than 1760. I recall being present on SL202s as well.

Great work there, Nathan. At some point tomorrow, I will be having a video uploaded onto my channel of Ex Torrens 1501 - Port Pirie as I have driven up there today in my Corolla from Adelaide, my Mum's place. I am up here in Adelaide until September 2nd. From William. Bill's Channel 1987.

volvo b10m mk3 vibes!

Great content there Nathan, keep up the good work. From William. Steve Lucas is now currently moving to Mt Gambier.

So … that's a LOT of extra mileage across the Nullarbor, twice!! Is there a law against taking it on the O-Bahn once it's back in Adelaide, haha?

Everything just feels a bit calmer in Adelaide. Sssh, quiet down everyone.

Hmm I wonder if this was almost equivalent to the articulated Mercedes buses I saw in Hannover Germany in 1999-2000.

I still remember the first time I saw one of these models, coming down George Street as I waited at Town Hall. It had such a square front that for a brief moment I thought I was looking at a tram! I was still very pleased with it as it came up to the stop. Very nice front panel, very smart looking headlights. This was before they had that diagonal cross-beam added to the foremost side windows.

RIP, best buses Sydney ever had, despite the engine strength. I went to the CeBIT expo in Hannover Germany in 2000, and they had this bus everywhere - plus a bunch of articulated (bendy bus) versions! If it wasn't for the doors on the wrong side I'd have loved to steal one and bring it back to Sydney for us. Drivers found this 1998-1999 bus not very powerful, BUT, passengers find it very forgiving. Not only is there less jerk on the acceleration, the engine eases the deceleration, and most importantly, the bucket seats provided very needed core muscle support for those wobbly streets. You could even rest your entire forearm on the windowsill - these were two friendly elements removed in every bus after the new millennium. Since this great bus it's been lousy. Other than the B-Line, it's awful cheap bench seats everywhere for the last 25 years, and if you sit on one half because somebody else is on the other half, you always tilt sideways and fall off. You have to use those core muscles again - for the whole trip - just to stop your hips from tilting.

I like the bomb drop sound of the air tanks filling up

another gem from nathan! great to see some of that archive being uploaded!

That's a sound I'll never get tired of hearing!

This loud ZF gear box must be one of the lockup programmed ones. Maybe, but I don't exactly know for sure. Keep up the good work, Nathan. Later on, at some point, I will be uploading a video as well on my channel. From William

768 is a good bus. But I have not ridden that bus for ages.

G'day, Nathan. Keep up the good work and this time. At least the sound is actually working, and not like some other guy said, it's a fully electric bus. Evil Lol. You've got dine xx 768 bus🤣🤣🤣

Wow I bet that CB60 articulated unit has a Voith transmission similar to the ones that were installed in the SG280H units 0:02 0:26 0:27

Crafers Ramp + Park ‘N’ Ride

I've got a few of these on my own KZbin channel. That I recorded in 2010. Bill's Channel 1987 Well done

Literally feel like I've been transported back in time!! So the Delorian does work!

Good work, Nathan.

Good thing that this is not an Ex Transdev bus

Ironic, that Busways 1308 is also a Mercedes, but is on a 0500LE chassis and a Bustech VST MK 4 Body

This went past my work at Reynella the other day I knew what it was as soon as I heard that unmistakeable trans whine. Certainly took me straight back to the 90s!!

Nice seeing Busways have a Yutong E12 on the road in SA, in Western Sydney they've got quite a few (which were acquired second hand), but I have to say it's surprising that there isn't a Custom Denning Element in SA yet. I presume this is a ZK6131HGE with a low-entry layout and steps up to the rear, aside from that the E12 is quite a solid vehicle and despite a cheap price tag Yutongs have very good build quality. Would love to see inside this vehicle.

Very noisy clock ticking bus. My KZbin channel is: Bill's Channel - sta

Good work, Nathan. My KZbin channel is: Bill's Channel - sta I do have a few bus videos on my channel as well you might like.

Don't you normally sit further back? I think they sound best from this seat/row.

I thought these were completely silent. Much better interior and livery than the CB80s and newer.
