It looks immaculate and sounds in great condition for 24-25 years old unlike some modern buses!

Seeing these big engined vehicles getting caned makes me miss the job a little, the modern hybrids/electrics were nippy but lacked soul and weren’t as engaging of a drive. All good things come to an end I guess!

@BluelightTV Indeed. Thankfully, there are still preservation running days and events. It's a shame things change but I guess diesel buses have had their time as far as (mainstream) public transport use is concerned. Still, what a shame! I'm just glad I was a 90s kid because buses these days are nothing like they used to be. I mean, I appreciate technological innovation and efforts to take more care of the environment, but at the same time, the main bus scene has (i.e. the main/major companies have...) become nothing more than fleets of plastic boxes (hybrids & EVs) on wheels. I miss the old days!! 1996-2010...great times!!!

Yes, they’ve definitely had their day. The ZF Ecomat era was definitely my favourite, but it’s dying a death now! Pity the Olympians didn’t last longer!

@@KickdownLondon Absolutely. Speaking of ZF Ecomats….there are still a few Hino single deckers running here (BKK). Great vehicles! Unfortunately, however, their days are numbered as well due to newer vehicles (Japanese stock, I believe…) gradually replacing them. I give it a year and then they’ll be no more, sadly.
