Dennis Dominators in Sheffield 2003

[@brushhead]

Actually I used to ride these betweek Sheffield and Bakewell five days a week and the long wheelbase one's with the big Tubocharged Gardner engines went like shit off a shovel. One was running 15 mins late out of Sheffield once and he drove it like hell and we arrived on time into Bakewell.

I remember when the Dominators and Metrobuses were new, they were the best thing since sliced Wards (beer), far better than the old daimler fleetlines and Leyland Atlantians. One thing I remember of the Dominators was a smell, the old daimlers just smelt of hot engine, the Dennises had a sweet smell, weird! The Sheffield bus with the most charactor had to be the Ailsa Volvos though with the badly co-ordinated gearboxes, used to love them, ah, memories!

hi, thanks for posting, how much is the video and where can it be bought from?

The metrobuses were first, but you cant replace that character of the Dommys. The only bus since locally that has had character was the B10m, all the rest dont compare. Rotherham isnt the same without competition like Andrews, SUT, and Rotherham and District.
