Today's Blog Post is about me and my Opinions and Memory's of the Hobby. Stephen Woods will follow next week with his Personal Views and Opinions
What is your Favourite Type of Bus of all Time?
My Favourite Type of Bus ever has to be the Wright Axcess Ultralows, I liked the Kickdown they was able to produce and how quick some of them really where, I was glad when i found out the NWVRT had bought P309 HEM for Preservation, I will touch more of these later in the Post.
What is your Favourite Type of Bus thats still in Service?
After thinking hard about this Question i would say the Wright Renowns, Some of the ones Arriva St Helens recently cascaded to nearby Green Lane Depot Really do feel like they are Built to last and Even at 14 Years old They still feel like they have a lot to offer.
What Individual Bus was/is your Favourite?
Did not have to think about this at all, Wright Axcess Ultralow M2 SLT. Sadly this Bus has now been Scrapped but when it was in Service is was a very Fast and Smooth Bus with fantastic Kickdown, I do miss riding this.
What type of Bus did you like the Least?
Having ridden lots of Different types of Buses i gave this some thought, I decided on the Marshall Capital Darts that have recently been withdrew for Service with Arriva North West, These never felt like they where Built to last so am glad to see the back of these.
What Current Bus Operator do you like the most?
Having a good think on this Question i would say Wigan Coachways, Their Fleet is maintained to a high Standard and they have some good Drivers, Wigan Coaches mainly do Hire Work and Schools however i do try to get their Buses on the Service work they do Operate whenever i can.
What Bus Livery do you like the Most?
I have to say CMT Buses Livery was always an eye catcher, It was the First Livery i remember Despite MTL being my local Operator at the Time. Am glad to see Stagecoach have Repainted one of their Wright Renowns back into the CMT Livery as it looks good, Am also glad to see the NWVRT have bought one of the CMT Buses Paladin Dart for Preservation aswell, It will look good once complete.
What is your Favourite Childhood Memory?
As a Kid i used to Travel to Liverpool from St Helens on a regular Basis so used the MTL (Later Arriva) 10/10A Services a lot. Due to one of my younger Brothers or Sister being the the Buggy we would always let the Wright Endurances go and normally end up with a Wright Axcess Ultralow, I used to like how strong and Loud the Engine was and how quick the Bus would go so i developed quite a liking to them and as i got Older i started spotting them and riding around on them and thats how i ended up into Buses.
