@davidburnside69: Cheers David. This one was running empty so recorded. I have a new camera (Canon 500D) which records HD videos. Only thing is, my lens is quite heavy hence the movement when the bus went over bumps. It also stands out more than my previous camera so don't tend to record as much as I used to. These are nice buses; I rode on 9 on Saturday. They all sounded different and have great ZF sounds, at times, these sound like Volvo B10Bs.
@davidburnside69 There aren't loads. National Express who operated buses under the Travel Coventry and Travel West Midlands brand own quite a lot, probably the largest number in the UK. Sadly, they're due to be withdrawn, hence my desire to phot and ride on them. They also have the articulated examples too. East Yorkshire Motor Services also operate(d) quite a lot of them too.

@Lynxboy252 Oh yes, I know what you mean. The O405s around here are being withdrawn as well, soon to be replaced by lower quality vehicles. Since you seem to like the O405 buses, perhaps you could take a look at my recordings. They don't have a great quality, but are still enjoyable. :)
Incredible decompression sound from the retarder! And nice ZF sound too. Good video, mate! :P

@Lynxboy252 Interesting. And this video came out as a surprise to me, because I didn't know Great Britain has O405s or their derivatives. :)
