ECW Leyland Olympian (ZF gearbox) Arriva London Route 432

A muckabout in an ECW Leyland Olympian on Route 432 in London. This bus only has Manual gears and is quite slow but one of my favorites.

I'm gonna be picky about the gearbox aswell but for a different reason. With a semi auto gearbox such as found the in Leyland Atlantean, Bristol VR, Leyland Olympian you are supposed to take your foot of the accelarator and move the gear stick to the next gear in a 3 second movement to allow the gearbox to catch up. On mm2 to do this you take your foot off the accelarator let the revs drop sllightly and then change gear as you cannot change gear in a long movement. Just to let you know!!

Thig is with mm2, the revs just don't drop, unless the vehicle is slowing down haha
