Here's my two pennorth: First, re the title. It started by the sound of it. Cuts out (engineer or driver switched it off) . Restarts. If you listen when the engine is off, there is a "Ch Ch Ch Ch" where someone is draining the air, something I do on buses if the air refuses to build up. In this case it worked, and away it went.

I started filming late but the bus had been sitting there for about 10-15 minutes with the air pressure not building up and every time the driver stopped revving it the engine would cut out and then have to restart it. By the time I started filming it seemed to have built up air pressure (almost) and still cut out for one last time which you see in the video before it eventually stayed on

The B5 seems to be underpowered in any case. The B9 with a proper size engine (9 litres) is probably the best double deck so far this century. I think that's why Lothian bought a batch of ex-London B9s since the type was discontinued by Volvo.

Volvo B5s and the streetdecks/streetlites are absolutely abysmal. Nothing about them gives them the right to be on the road

That dont sound healthy to be on a road at all to be cutting out and then sound like leaking air

It has a major air issue, not leaking out air, that was the driver pumping the break pedal to drain the air so he can rebuild it up, with it crawling how it did could mean the breaks are stuck on due to not enough air to release

What a disappointment to read John! What makes you say this? I really like them. Despite the rattles, the interior is fairly cozy and the buses overall are smooth. The rattles (confirmed by Lothian drivers) aren't even the worst in the fleet, compared to others. The worst can be found in 441-465, with many now having an awful loud idle rattle.

Not at all, they are quite fast. They have similar gearboxes to other zf buses. They go around the same speed as a B7TL.
