Dublin Bus VA10 Revving

[gazdafxf]

much prefered dublin bus ad and p class daf sb220 on airlink service when they got up to the top speed screaming!! much more than va's and sounded better

[jack253]

Yeah it always used to be on the 78A it gets packed before it reaches Balleyfermot. Esc during the weekend, it used to be murder getting on the 78A. Took nearly 1hr and 30mins to get into the city. Miss the old days.

This bus used to operate out of Conyngham Road, 25,25A,66,66B,76A/B78A,79,210 just some of its routes. Its L.E.D destination board never worked properly and the bus always seemed to break down.

[tpaper12]

is this a volvo b10m?

[Cabhed]

You're nearly right. I just discovered from another website that it's a B10B-58.

[tpaper12]

yup, now that i look closer the intercooler isn't on the left side of the bus, right after the front axle. haha. i thought from the rims and the look of it that it would be a B10 something series :P

[MURRAYNEAL]

This bus was delived to dublinbus in cityswift livery in 2006. it used to operate route 78a before it was withdrawn

[FPVsean]

wheres the revs? maybe my speakers were too low.. where is this?? which garage?

[Cabhed]

The revs are when the bus struggles starts up, this is at UCD in Belfield, Dublin and the garage where this bus comes from is the conyngham road.

[FPVsean]

okok.. ever been to ucd?? its a dump! you know all them apartment like structures close to the n11? i had to fit blinds in all them with my older cousin!!! its cunningham rd if you want to say it in gailge

[runatune]

[xK3LLI3xPARKSx]

i thought the 10 buses were double deckers?

[Cabhed]

This is just the bus's identity.

[JLP228]

its time to replace all the shitty '92 buses

[jackboote]

I think they need to go - the engine barely started

[jonathanpancake]

sounds like a semi truck

[Cabhed]

VA 10 (Blue and yellow Bus) is from 1996 and the AD 5 (Blue and cream bus) is from 1994.

[fontheking]

You never get me on that bus

[fontheking]

That engine is crap , replace it

[Skoda130]

Sounds also like some loose V-belts are in there.

[jack253]

[Cabhed]

I think it was Tony at the controls.

[markchox]

[Cabhed]

Well actually, the driver did manage to start the bus, he just needed to hold down the start button and rev the engine.

[markchox]

[Cabhed]

No hope in what?
