Was that a straight-through change at @ 1:43? XD

Smacking the gear lever from one gear straight to the next while your foot is pinned to the floor was never intended practise. Beside prematurely wearing out the annulus brake bands it stresses the bearings, trailing link and engine mountings. However, when I was a kid watching the drivers, driving like in the video was very rare. Another thing was leaving the engine rasping away in gear for minutes on end with it in gear and stationary.

Never mind the mechanics of modern buses: I just can't stand the 'mobile creches' thanks to modern PC laws!

I don't seem to recall changing gear quite like that coming out of Birmingham in the evening peak in our Fleetlines :0)

always liked the smooth sound of the daimler fleetlines, only knew alexander bodied ones (fife)
a bit theatrical with the gearchanges though? lol :-)

The Leyland engined ones were mostly bought by companies who were traditional Leyland companies but needed Lowbridge buses, and Leyland replaced the Lowbridge Atlantean with the Fleetline when they aquired Daimler, at the same time offering the 680 as an option on the Fleetline. South Notts of Gotham, Nottinghamshire was a good example, having an almost 100% Leyland fleet, yet buying Leyland engined Fleetlines once they couldn't get lowbridge Atlanteans.

Gardner powered Fleetlines and VRTs do sound very similar, the VRT having a more thoaty exhaust noise. Yes, modern buses are bland and boring in comparison.

Gardner 6LW and 6LX engines WERE fitted in some earlier Fleetlines. However, the larger 6LXB 10.45 litre unit became the usual Fleetline engine in the 1970s. As minority of Fleetlines did have Leyland O.680 engines too from the early 1970s. These sounded like the Atlantean but with the transmission wine.

Lovely Buses These, we had Daimler Fleetlines in Grimsby from 1965 up to Stagecoach days.
