British Pathe - Bus Road Test

Saw this shared on a bus group I belong to on FB.  Makes you wonder of TOL continues to do stability checks.

Kit will be along in a minute to tell us he installed the test equipment on that tilt table...


Skid pan double decker at the end looked fun.

Yes it did.  I'd love to try it with a double decker Van Hool

It wasn't me guv, I've got an alibi as I was only 15 at the time they made the film. 

But it was an impressive test rig, although how it worked  '.....at 1.5 tons pressure....' I'm not sure, tons being a mass and not a pressure. I think he meant 3000 psi or so, which would have been industry standard at the time.

Gotta keep it simple for the masses.  John Q. Public knows what tons are, which makes it easier to translate for public consumption.

I suspect that there's a story here that belongs in the SILLY THINGS WE DID IN A MIS-SPENT YOUTH thread we had 15 months ago.

Average of 10 stone? They would need at least 15 stone these days what with our "obesity crisis"
