Greyhound Prevost X3-45 86001 Tampa, FL bus station

I found this Prevost 86001, the first Prevost delivered to Greyhound here at the Tampa, FL Greyhound terminal. It was being fueled and serviced. It was moved from one gate to another.

XL-II are dreams to drive. Just like the bigger brother, the H3, but has less cross wind roll. I miss driving them really

@seansuth I've never driven one. I figured with the Independent suspension any comparable bus would drive similar. The bus is more low profile in appearance, not sure where the air bellows are mounted, but on the DL3 they are mounted outboard right above the wheels. Not sure how to compare, the DL3's are my favorite. All new Prevost's now have the Volvo D13 in them. I've heard many, many problems about them. Them. No more Series 60's made now.

@seansuth Turn's out this is an X3-45. I still haven't gotten over the name change.

Greyhound Coach Buses are not being maintain well. Grill hole missing in the rear of the coaches, left rear flaps are missing on many of the coaches. Canada does a better job of controlling their cleaniness than USA. Canada is leading, USA Greyhound owners just don't care about the up keep and maintenance of their buses. Many of the Greyhounds buses are DIRTY, need washing.

@Chesterbarnes1, wellcome to the future, where everyone everywhere is bent on saving time, money, and "face" (lol).

@studpuppy69, the X3-45 is basically an updated Le Mirage XL II.

I think it's funny when they open the thing in the back of the bus (outside) and all the stuff in the toilet comes out haha

In the 1950's and thru 1970's you never saw the door motor open at the station this was a NO NO! This should always been done to Greyhound coaches AT the GARAGE only! Washing of buses done at the garage only. REAR Mud flaps on many of the coaches have been 'cut' off I guess so maint can service the coaches better. This is an absolute NO NO! and should be stoppted ASAP!
