We used to disable the bell (*) on our Leyland
Nationals for the same reason. We didn't need it.
I may be wrong (not unusual..!) but wouldn't disabling
the bell result in a PG9 if checked by the "man from
the ministry"..?


I never heard of any visits from said gentlemen in all
the time I was driving buses.

They have been known to do blitzes in the Birmingham area, i.e. lay in
wait at an outer terminus (one of the favourites is South Parade, in
Sutton Coldfield) and check *everything* that arrives for several hours.

I've had them a couple of times, but they never found anything wrong.
