R338LGH is with rossendale transport, fleet number 29, is this still one with london central or has it moved to another operator like 29 has?

This is a real bus!

@LondonBuses47 It's the air tanks releasing air due to them being full, they would explode otherwise.

wow what a kick down great vid bro
A typical HP-0 "unlock downshifting" at 0:16 but ...... 40MPH even on a narrow street?

You can hear a proper 1st gear slam downshift at 3:32. Glad these things are still around, even better that the drivers give them a good thrashing!

I see. But the one at 0:16 seems more of a bang (the whole bus vibrates!). Get a video of those Citybus Olympians in Hong Kong. Lots of such slam downshifting actions!

@bearchoirfan My favourite bit is from 5:17, where the driver floors it to full revs in 2nd and 3rd. Very fast bus.
