I'm being sensitive to the feelings of those who like the
bus....
In actual fact the 0305 is VERY noisy. Especially those with the
TICK TOCK TICK TOCK sounds.
And when I thought that noisy DDs were history....within 2-3
years came the VSO.
And when I got used to it....came the B9TL whose roar I doubt
can be surpassed.
But the 0305s had plenty of seats and was pretty torquey....but
I I still like the VO2X better.
They do not occupy any areas in the back for engines and so can
go all the way to the back. And they can carry more than 100
people, the highest for all NAC double deckers. Leyland Atlanteans,
Olympians 2xles and Volvo Olympian 2 axles all carry less than 100
people.
