Please do post those recordings. Cummins Metrobuses are the best and they are greatly missed.

Sounds like a Lynx! Had a go on Cummins F772 EKM today, will ad video ASAP

Awesome Video! I guess Cummins L10 powered Dominators in the UK are rare, aren't they? Any more of these examples?

This one sounds like those Dennis Dragons and Condors with Cummins in HK.

Hiya and thanx for the kind comment. I believe there were very few Dominators in Britain with the cummins/voith driveline arrangement. I know of the batch of 4 for Guildford and Surrey of which this bus was one, and I also think either Southampton or Bournemouth (not sure which I'm afraid). Other than that I don't know of any more. Gardners or Rolls Royce engines in all the others I know of

Best wishes

Chris

I know the newer East Lancs Grimsby-Cleethorpes Dominators are with Cummins. Somebody posted a video here before but it was gone.

Apart from the Cummins powered Metrobus from Merseyside and East Kent, Cummins powered Dominators are my second favorite. But they are so rare it is hard to find their recordings. Thank you for sharing!

Hiya, actually the Merseyside cummins metrobuses are my favourite buses of all time. They were introduced to my area when I was 9 (at Gillmoss) and ran from my local depot (St Helens) between 1993 and 2002 and I absolutely loved them. I only have a few sound recordings of them from the early 90s and they are of very poor quality (and not very fast) but will try to dig them out and post them. Also I have a few recordings of the stotts vehicles ex Merseybus but again they're not very good.
