Stagecoach in Warwickshire 14034 gassing me to death in LN

[1100HondaCB]

Good old smokey Gardner. I like a smokey VR or better still a National. I blipped the throttle on an ALX200 Dennis and was promptly told by a mechanic "If I catch you do that again, I'll rip your head off!". I couldn't believe it. I only blipped the throttle for a split second. Anyway, those ALX200s are cross eyed. Ah a cross eyed bus.

why does it smoke that much? and why does the driver revs the engine?

This beast was new to Bedford depot in 1989, travelled on and then drove it and its sister buses many many times out of Biggleswade & Bedford on local routes. They were decent old motors but the Gardner was a life expired engine by 1989 and they should have had Cummins engines really - typical tight arse Stagecoach buying the cheapest stock. I'd left Rugby by the time these arrived from Bedford in 2006.

Lol Been lefted out in the cold could do alot of damage I hope this bus see 2010

[Ally31334]

I've learned that lesson lol, got a bollocking for doing that myself because I was never told it was wrong til after! I'm sure it will see 2010 as it is used as a School bus at Rugby garage now

[Ally31334]

The ones you have would be newer than this, from after Volvo took over Leyland, 14--- Olympians are Leylands, 16--- Olympians are Volvos.

[AAAKJVWXY]

To me this bus isn't roadworthy.

[AAAKJVWXY]

If you think that bus is bad then check out the ones at mansfield. They are a disgrace to the company.

[TomMetrobus]

Euro -5 :)

Yes, Gardners can give off a lot of exhaust when they have been sat for a while then they rev up, quality video mate, I have some Olympians revving up on my site too.

[jaggass]

gardners have a reputation of doing that

[ren197]

Good old gassy gardner weve got 14239 and thats the same when its cold especially if its been stood idling for a while, and it dont help when they are screaming its nuts off building the air up

[Ally31334]

I don't know if any of you heard about this but the schoolkids gassed by a double decker in Rugby, that was one of them too!

They are no good to anyone except Hitler!
