Triple manned long distance coach trip

Agree about the Skyliners.Then again when we did shuttles to salou or wherever we didnt get time to sleep :slight_smile: when i was on Derek randalls a 760 aec reliance plaxton body with e type seats. try sleeping on those buggers lol. but if you really wanted to suffer either a Jonkhere Bermuda or a mcw metroliner. bloody terrible. best bunk i had was a Ayats apollo. bigger than my bedroom at home.

Worst -Neoplan Skyliner Double-decker coach - bunk at rear of vehicle, part of luggage compartment - right next to Merc. V10 engineā€¦NO!!! not good!!!

Drove this Neoplan Skyliner a few times. I was sweating buckets after loading luggage, what with the heat from the engine in the compartment. As for the bunk, Iā€™ll never know how anybody got any sleep in there with the luggage right beside you. Luckily, I never had to try it out.

Mr Neil Pegg :smiling_imp: now owner of city circle. what a first class w&*$er

Citycat - Yes, my mistake the 8-wheeler is the Megaliner & the bendi-decker is the Jumbocruiser. At Kettlewells we also had 2 x Jetliners that went like the clappers & were great to drive.

Dunnno about turning this into a coach forum - I canā€™t see a problemā€¦Iā€™m a fan of all commercial transport - LGVā€™s, coaches & busses but I think my heart and soul will always be in the coaching industry - even though I left it over 12 years ago!!!

Maybe Boris should start getting these for the streets of London??

(1:22 onwards is the more interesting bit)

Update one journey

The 2 drivers that took the kids, drove to dover then changed over with 2 more at dover,
The 2 new ones did the continental bit, and stayed with them in Austria
Then on return to dover, jumped out and got in a car.

Long day for them 2
