ride on a Leyland Fleetline in China

[dg4602]

sad to say all the last 5 fleetlines in China have withdrawn from servicing on oct08

gearbox is fantastic

I still mourn the passing of the Fleetline from mainstream service in the UK. The type was always my favourite rear engined double decker. Modern buses are characterless and boring.

a bristol vr in china? ive never seen one in china i do admit it sounds alot like a VR

[dg4602]

the only bristols appeared in the area were all lodekka

there are still 5 fleetline running on the streets and about to retire in months

[seany0781]

this isnt a fleetline sound.sounds more like a bristol vr to me.

[dg4602]

i have never been on a bristol before but i believe they are both fitted with a 6LXB unit so they sound pretty much the same

[HORNEBEEDUBLO]

The Britol VRT does have a Gardner engine too and a SCG gearbox. Both types do sound very similar, particularly the transmission wine. Lovely sound!
