The last day of bendies in Brighton was 1 November 2022. With the final drive from Universities to the Old Steine at 7:30 pm, the 10-year era is now over. Due to the age and difficulties in getting spare parts, as well as the high cost of the new articulated vehicles, BHBCC decided to replace them with double-deckers and shorten the intervals between them in the peak hours. At the same time, BHBCC is planning to join Londons' idea to cut emissions and consider ordering Irizar IE Tram vehicles. | |

The fleet is all ex GoAhead. Interesting, are they subsidiary or separate? | |

Got Engine failure on delivery in 2002, was sent back to Munich for repairs, then came back to Dealer in 2003 and at that time MAN issued a few recalls while travelled, so they fixed them for about a year and in 2004 it was finally delivered to Sim's Travel, Cumbria and got 04 plates. Unfortunately, no info on the very first plate. Might be the trade plates.
By the way 11800 pic on site and this interesting story Congrats and thanks | |

They were basically, always made by Lahden finnish bodyshop on Scania chassis, but always sold as Scania OmniExpress.

01.12.2020 02:29:41 go to comment Photos: 1380 · Photo moderator / General content editor / Non-author's photo moderator / Translator According to MAN Service program I check MAN and Neoplan details from time to time, this one was UK MAN Truck and bus showroom demonstrator for nearly a year before the first registration. But in the same time, according to the same service program assembly list, this one is the most "naked" basic version available. Does not even have individual air vents or reading lights. Just grey plastic inserts all way long. Very interesting what did they tried to demonstrate? Usually demonstrators come nearly over packed with extras, to show all available options to potential buyer. This one is completely opposite | |

06.11.2020 12:41:41 go to comment Photos: 1380 · Photo moderator / General content editor / Non-author's photo moderator / Translator My retirement plan is to get Axial 100 and convert it to mobile home. Guest sitting area and kitchen on lower deck, and two bedrooms and own hall on the upper. Then you just need to buy or rent small space at any of the truckyards, connect it to the electricity and wastage, and once per year go for the MOT. And if "feck it, rocket in the ass" mood starts up, fill up and drive on sightseeing tour. Should be cheaper overall than buying a house. And Axial to be honest, is more made for that conversion than any other double decker. These have pretty high roof on top, comparing with Astromegas or Neoplans | |
