31495 had to be the world slowest Volvo B6.... infact the whole Fife batch got took off coz there so slow and made every service they were on atleast 10 minutes late
I travel on similar B6LE's every day at Stagecoach western and they are SLOW, Uncomfortable and Unreliable. They are 31369-77/81/82/85/86 and they are the P--- DSA batch
Ah the P--- DSA batch, we have 2 of them: 31363/4 P363/4 DSA which are both at my local depot & actually aint that bad compared to some of the other B6.
Drove one of these a few weeks back, driving up a long hill i had one of those mobility electric scooter things alongside me on the pavement going up the same incline.. it was neck and neck all the way!! how embarrasing!!!
I'm not really into old buses of foreign countries, but here in The Netherlands we have a busbrand too that just doesn't seem to be able to accelerate.
Their nickname is "vacuum-cleaner" buses because of the sound they produce, but sometimes barely get to 70 kilometers per hour (and since two other types of buses can get to 90 on the buslanes that can be pretty annoying and delaying!).
watch?v=V8shokZ5ETg Not that good of an impression when it comes to speed, but when it comes to the sound.
These buses are really bad this one was new to stagecoach manchester. They are usually bad at hill climbing and can rattle and chug when idle too. Were you going uphill when the video was taken? I have a B6LE up to show how bad these buses are.
Pathetic buses. makes canal boats look quick.

Some are good but some are bad like the one i was on, P330 JND. We were going slightly down hill and it was still going slow.
Always has been, always will be.
This bus also had a bad exhaust leak when at Nuneaton Depot. HOPE I NEVER GO ON IT AGAIN!
