Nothing beats the acceleration of these, they were the most powerful buses especially when the driver used to floor them!

I loved driving these on the 607 years ago between Uxbridge to Shepherd’s Bush. Cracking acceleration! Run to timetable as far as the old Hanwell Garage then as traffic allows!👍

I remember these as a kid. That noise and front end are unique.

The Lynx was a marvellous bus when it first came out en masse in 1990. Living in Daisy Bank, near Coseley at the time, we were served by WMT’s 225 and 226 services and MRW’s 270 service. All travelling between Bilston and Dudley. Both WMT and MRW’s routes were Lynx operated G-reg models. I was so fascinated by the two variants. How the same bus could be so different in spec. The MRW buses always felt rather bare compared to the WMT ones. So, the WMT Lynx’s were my favourite, but I preferred the MRW Lynx’s side seat behind the driver’s cab, because as a curious 10/11 year old, I could watch the driver and see all of the controls. The WMT ones had a luggage rack in this space on theirs, so I could only observe the driver by sitting on the side seat next to the doors. Happy memories, great times.👍🏼☺️

marsvltor2 i had the pleasure of driving one once. They properly shift. I think it was a fairly hefty engine, around the 8-10 litre mark.

Size isn't everything lol, it was indeed an L10 Cummins which despite having the same litres as a Gardner 6LXB was massively more powerful (and thirstier) . Generally unloved but I thought the Lynx was a total Minx, excellent.

Francis Sharkey that’s true size it’s everything but a single deck with a 10L moves quicker than some modern buses. 🙂

yes quick acceleration but they only has 3 speed boxes? & were fine for towns but on fast roads they were screaming flat out at about 50mph sounding like they were going to blow up

Only ever driven one lynx, had it for one duty, was a lot nicer to drive than it looked, quick and it had really nice brakes. I liked Leyland buses, Titans, Atlanteans and Olympians, driven them all.

Nice bus from a passenger point of view but I hated the driving position because of the pillars from the sloped screen on the drivers side. Still a good video and a like from me anyway.

It reduces interior reflections when it's dark, so your can actually see where you're going at night.

Marcus Orangeboom IV None this is a MK2 these were fully automatic and had a very distinct gearbox whine. They used to serve as our school buses and before that they used Leyland Nationals, including an original MK 1 National.
