60508 H664_THL Volvo B10M-50/Voith gearbox

[FM60260]

Volvo B10M's sound much more powerfull than Dennis Enviro 200's

[RianTrace84]

Do the Stagecoach Northern Counties B10M have the same engine?

[thirskable]

Blimey! sounds like a Metrobus!

[craigbeaumont414]

they are all now scrapped, apart from several that made it into the driver traning fleet o first group nationwide

[HondaH100A]

We now have some H...THL in Portsmouth.

[RianTrace84]

@HondaH100A  Send em` back!

@HondaH100A Hi I'm new on here I've see one of those buses every day in Crookhorn near South Downs College as I pass it wishing I was on that one - they sound so nice! The reg is H687 THL I don't if you've seen it?

[hejhoppp]

Volvo B10M for life :)

[jaggass]

just put up H684THL uf you want to have a look its strange as the voith gearbox dont scream

[jaggass]

first sy still have a few H-THL's operating in sheffield and rotherham. doncaster dont have any b10's any more

[jaggass]

i hope efe or any diecast company will make a diecast of this bus sometime in the future if they did the demand will be huge

[gitface007]

Would be a good casting along with an Alexander RV double decker citybus. They could do plenty of liveries.

[jaggass]

evan an alexander rl volvo olympian would be good

[jaggass]

somebody will buy one do you know if J-XAK, J-AWF,M-VET N-CKY are staying?

[james30trident]

The M-VET and N-CKY ones are staying for definate, not sure about the J-AWF batch though although I hope they are staying.

[jaggass]

first sy told me that M722VET had an engine fire

[strathybusman2]

@james30trident First Glasgow have a load of the N-CKY ones that they got from First Edinburgh. I can only assume they came from down south orgininally

[jaggass]

so did i they cant stop it is a public area. if i go to sheffield interchange ive have to get a permit so i can take pictures

[jaggass]

i got done for filming once

[james30trident]

I got some hassle off some drivers for just taking one photo of a bus once!

[jaggass]

the b10's especially the older ones are on the 23 quite alot

[KimB10M]

Yes, that is really good sound :-)

[jaggass]

was that in kivteon park?

[james30trident]

No mate, it was on a sheffield bound service 23 at handsworth.

[hamsterbus]

I so much prefer voith gearboxes on B10M aas they whine nmuch better than ZF gearboxes on B10 family buses. Shame first manchester don't have the solitary B10M and the 13 D10M versions running in manchester any more now.

[james30trident]

I also much prefer the Voith gearboxes to zf, the gear changes are smoother and they sound alot better! We're getting a lot of new B9's here this year so sadly we will also be losing a lot of our B10M's too :(

[hamsterbus]

The whine on B9TL is rubbish to non existinent and I think 200 are coming to manchester later this year and the next! Please get some B10Ms in preservation please! Hope J461OVU, H701GVM and J710ONF make it there!

[james30trident]

I hope they preserve some of the south yorkshire ones aswell as apparently all the G-NWA and H-THL reg ones are being withdrawn in the next year. We've got some B9's entering service soon and I agree there is no whine as there is no turbo on the engine unlike B7's.

[e37405]

we have 701 and 710 at First Glasgow.. I wish i could buy one!

[jaggass]

nice one

[jaggass]

cool ive got H663THL on my channel

[james30trident]

i know ive got it as one of my favourites:)
