That happens on the R1/9s trips too every time the T/O releases the brakes or the compressor goes off lol. I wonder if this happends on the hybrids and SMEE/NTT cars. |

And you speak from expierence driving differnt buses ?These are museum pieces that the TA is preserving. You someone in the drivers seat that is going to treat her with respect and drive with pride, because if everytime they come back they have damage to repair, they won't go out anymore. At the two trolley museums I operate at that's the philosophy. Plus you don't get anywhere near the controls unless you are already qualified on THAT type of car ! |
