(29/10/2016) Again Very Tuneful - West Midlands Travel 2989 MCW Metrobus MK2A E989VUK

[@EM-yk1dw]

Superb! Long live Metrobus! That is how a bus should be driven. I remember some on the drivers in London never used to hang around in these.

[@r4mplayteb696]

This bus has the classic mcw mk2 idle loop so many TWM metros had later in their lives. Memories...

Takes me right back 30 years hearing those screams and whistles of the WMPTE metrobus may have gone on that one new!

[@reliance760aec]

Brilliant! Makes all the right noises 😁

[@simonbeasley989]

Definitely tuneful!

[@markwilkinson3772]

Sure is

[@TheSimonhammond]

This should be made into an 8hr help me sleep video! Mesmerizing.

[@jamesfrench7299]

10:10 Finally a perfect slowdown.

[@DecalCentralUK]

yes I couldn't get the gearbox to bang into 3rd gear like I usually do. If you had been on a later journey I made it do it!

[@thombt963]

Lee Hobson , you drive that well mate, fair play.....

[@adamfaruga899]

It sounds like the SYPTE fastline metrobuses cuz they had that engine tone!!

[@markwilkinson3772]

Agree bring these buses back

[@markwilkinson3772]

Them guys should sit the hell when this is going this speed

[@xixtomxix]

Loving the BA ad

[@adamfaruga899]

Is the metrobus engine Gardner or Cummins? Do anyone of you guys know?

[@FF3170]

Gardner 6LXB engine & Voith D851.2 gearbox

[@adamfaruga899]

What is the difference between Gardner and Cummins?

[@FF3170]

Gardner is British while Cummins is American. Gardner's are slower revving and better in fuel economy, but bulkier and less powerful.

[@kinkeestore]

Gardner engine with voith transmission.

[@reliance760aec]

Cummins is an American Company but the Engines are built in Darlington and Turbo’s in Huddersfield
