How long since we had 6-wheelers though, or even one with as little as 97hp? Still, it's Monday morning tomorrow, and I think I have a gasman coming to call...! James |

Most buses since the 1930s have had 4 wheels on their rear axles. The last 3-axle 6-wheelers were the pre-war LTs and trolleybuses. Good spot Colin, I did mean 6 wheels over 3 axles. So the LT for motor buses. Does anyone recall how many wheels/axles the modern build of trolleys which were exported to Spain had? And were they a postwar build? Still waiting for that gasman, and I have a feeling I'll need a carpenter tomorrow...!! James |

Like almost the entire London trolleybus fleet, 6 wheels on 3 axles. Still waiting for that gasman, and I have a feeling I'll need a carpenter tomorrow...!! -- Colin Rosenstiel |

Do the tour vehicles that run on some regular routes count as buses ? some of those are former Hong Kong 3 axle buses imported back here. 3-axle coaches have become quite common recently. But they are 8-wheelers. -- Colin Rosenstiel |
