i want to see how much degrees a New Flyer Xcelsior can tilt

[MrNico2020]

That a great another idea about it. however it can do the same as a routemaster bus. It will tilt the same thing till 28 degrees.

OMG thats an exellent old film! I live quite near to the old Aldenham works and I wanted to go on a tour around it but never got the opportunity. I love them old RT's and RM's

I can remember a Wrigleys Spearmint Gum commercial where they take a double decker bus on the "wet" road test and get it up on two wheels.

why they add sacks in the bus?

[vorn29]

Try listening to the film. He explains why.

[ElevationLowJJ]

@yeehah188 Weight of the buses are measured by the death load and live load. The sacks actually represents the passengers.

Would a modern bus pass these tests?

@moonshinejugg They have to be able to pass the same test so yes.
