Another little gem. I’m pleased you take time to give us all the nuances of driving your buses and the routes on which you run.

Nice explanation video, I was just wondering where is exactly the kickdown button.

@BristolRE

There isn't as such, on older vehicles when pushing the throttle you meet resistance, and if you want kickdown you push harder and it comes in. On newer vehicles it seems to work in a similar way but is computer controlled.

Great video Peter! Although I knew most of them, I was surprised to find the positioning of the DW radio button, how do you operate it when your driving if its operated by your heal on the right side?

@BristolRE

'Technically' you're not supposed to operate the radio when you're driving irrespective of where the foot switch is, you're supposed to pull over. It's certainly not easy on a DW though a quick response is possible

Could you try doing a DW, LT, Gemini 1 from your garage and maybe E400
