I remember them buses, i used to get travel sick if i went on long drives in cars, but 20 minutes on them buses i turned pale and started to vomit and would either get off or if i had someone with me i would lay down..im from acocks green and i loved it there until our Christian school was turned to a muslim school and then it was over run by migrants..no hate, but when your home town changes and you feel like your not welcome its sad.now my moms old house is a run down dirty house with overgrown gardens and rubbish all up the street.

BEST SOUNDING BUS. EVER.

Ex Stagecoach, London ALX 200.

I’m pretty sure this video had audio what happened.

The devil on Laxatives!

4781 is gone now due to crash

This bus is a Merthyr bus Merthyr had 18 of these buses until they ceased operations in August 89 they sounded good in the town home to the bus and myself

Class 142068 is perhaps gone to the scrapyard where class 153305 is now with ScotRail which is good coupled to class 156 in Scotland. Only 2 train operators honestly have the 1 single class 153s are SR -ScotRail and TFW - Transport For Wales. Could class 153s continue to survive until around perhaps the deadline date Monday 31st December 2035 in 13 years time from Saturday 24th September 2022. Train operators SR and TFW will see how class 153s are going depending what condition they’re in. If I honestly see class 142 pacers on the rails again I honestly agree to leave them alone treat them invisible falsely pretend they are not there ignore them and automatically walk away. 142 pacers are honestly crappy trains as well they are very uncomfortable. Also 142 pacers honestly won’t be used for public transport anymore which is good so hooray.

Open pipes🔥

The Lynx was a marvellous bus when it first came out en masse in 1990. Living in Daisy Bank, near Coseley at the time, we were served by WMT’s 225 and 226 services and MRW’s 270 service. All travelling between Bilston and Dudley. Both WMT and MRW’s routes were Lynx operated G-reg models. I was so fascinated by the two variants. How the same bus could be so different in spec. The MRW buses always felt rather bare compared to the WMT ones. So, the WMT Lynx’s were my favourite, but I preferred the MRW Lynx’s side seat behind the driver’s cab, because as a curious 10/11 year old, I could watch the driver and see all of the controls. The WMT ones had a luggage rack in this space on theirs, so I could only observe the driver by sitting on the side seat next to the doors. Happy memories, great times.👍🏼☺️

The scream of the engine and the acceleration on these are unreal.

Amazing video mate well done and very nice Plaxton Centro

Only ever driven one lynx, had it for one duty, was a lot nicer to drive than it looked, quick and it had really nice brakes. I liked Leyland buses, Titans, Atlanteans and Olympians, driven them all.

I unfortunately crashed this actual bus in 1996

A right bone shaker.

I remember these as a kid. That noise and front end are unique.

My fav bus

Nothing beats the acceleration of these, they were the most powerful buses especially when the driver used to floor them!

I used to work in Hopwood 2000-4 so my daily commute was on a 146 Lynx (and latterly a Verde) was a great service. 7 days a week, early morning to late at night and up to every 20minutes at one point. I think it’s mon-sat daytimes every two hours now. Very sad.

I've never understood the reason for the odd windscreen arrangement. Why is the drivers windscreen pushed in like that?

Leyland Albion 230 hp engines under a class 114.

How fast do these lance go? I watched a few video of them, going at high speed and they sound insane 😳

Would be quieter sat on the roof ?

It's PWS 492S. She was new to Bristol Omnibus in 1978 with a Plaxton Supreme Express body, but suffered major fire damage, and was rebodied with a Plaxton Paramount body.

I loved driving these on the 607 years ago between Uxbridge to Shepherd’s Bush. Cracking acceleration! Run to timetable as far as the old Hanwell Garage then as traffic allows!👍

Great buses miss them

Brilliant motors

Nicely driven - well played!

Miss these buses, used ride on the service between Birmingham and Worcester.

Nice

I'm missing those buses already

Loved these mrw Leyland lynx buses

Sat my test on G148 HNP 😊😊

What was the reasoning behind the strange angled drivers window???

I love this sound from the class 323

Please upload a video for going Rushall primary school walsal pelsal lane near education development center .

Memories of these on the 143/144 MRW services.

Nice bus from a passenger point of view but I hated the driving position because of the pillars from the sloped screen on the drivers side. Still a good video and a like from me anyway.

Done that journey a few times

I wonder if Blackpool called them and asked if they could hire or borrow it to deal with the re-laid track as it settled down.

The howl here isn't the engine or gearbox, its the hub reduction drive axle. The Metrobus and Lynx and later Tigers use the same type of axle and suffer from the same gear howl, particularly in over run. Use of a hub reduction type axle reduces the size of the crown wheel gear in the diff and therefore the casing size, which presumably keeps gangway height over the back axle to a minimum without use of a drop centre axle.

ex bts Borehamwood bus came to Huntingdon and District under Blazefield they took a few to Keighley

RM506 has an AEC engine

We use a converted(2003) Lynx mk1 as Zapz Gaming bus ans after 30 years it is still quick up to 30mph

I live in rugby nice vid

No problem with cooling on these Lynx - the radiator is at the front - the faster you go the more cooling you get!

Ooh, happy memories!!!!

Familiar looking seat upholstery, this bus started life in Northampton

Best Lynx I've ever heard. Never heard a 6LXCT with such a clear turbo whistle on it. Sounds like a straight pipe as well. Absolutely gorgeous

Is this a mk1 or 2 ??
