If it sounds like a hoover, the fan belt will be the problem, not the engine.

Aye because when any of our Versas goes Dyson, The black smoke that comes out of the Exhaust is endless.
8294 and 8299 are the common offenders.

That will be Diesel or Oil probably, Even though its knackered 8299 is still one of the better Versas I think.

I hope it wasn't diesel as that's a fire waiting to happen imo.

Cheese can't destroy a bus especially if it's already past it.

Do these screens upstairs on the Gemini 3s show "Stopping" or something similar when the bell is pushed?

As far as i'm aware, the Streetlites have separate 'Bus Stopping' signs. Have only been on one twice and its not something I have ever paid attention too.

No - there's a normal bus stopping sign built into the glass above the Next Stop Announcement monitor.

I travel regularly on the C&C routes and would just like to point out that you are incorrect on this ocassion.
A 'Bus Stopping' message is not incorporated into the next stop screens and is instead displayed on the usual 'Bus Stopping' sign behind the driver's cab.
