It is a big beast 49ft 2.5", or 15mtrs which ever you prefer. Still can't beat getting to the Freely at the end of the day. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

Looks weird shaped, guess for aerodynamics

Laughing if only

It's pretty clever design, I've got a panoramic windscreen and in turn that shape houses the air con units. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

Are you going to get a Freel2 sticker for the back window? Lol it looks great, how does it manage in town driving? Or is this bus just used on motorways? Black MY2013 SD4 GS Auto, Wood Company Armrest, Freel2 sticker.

It's surprisingly manoeuvrable, the rear steer axle is a big help but creates a big tail swing. We take them all over, part of the route is a narrow country road. I would say 70% of its life is on the motorway though. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

That's not a coach.
Looks more like a high speed train!

Has it got a DPF? Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

I'm not 100% sure on the DPF, it has SCR engine using Ad Blue to reduce emissions.

I managed 8.1mpg today Laughing 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

What sort of mileage will that do in a year or during its life?

The coaches these are replacing are 7 years old and they have done between 700,000-750,000mls. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200
