london transport vids?
Many years ago I remember seeing some TV stuff from London Transport about
double deckers, the training to drive them and how far they could lean before flipping. Had a great section where the would be drivers are flinging the buses around on a skidpan. Anyone know what I'm talking about? Anyone have a copy of it? |

Somewhere I remember seeing a picture of a bus (RM?) in a test rig at Chiswick. They had loaded the top deck with weights to simulate a (full?) load, no load on the lower deck, and they were tilting the bus to make sure it would go to x degress without falling. The rig had a "fence" along one side so that if the bus did topple it would be held by the fence rather than falling on the floor. That ski pan was fun. I had a ride on it once on an RT. They wouldn't let me ride upstairs! |
