*LOUD ZF* : First Essex: 32526 (YJ54XUT) Volvo B7TL/ Wright Gemini Eclipse

And now we move onto the second-half of a double bill of 5B's with very distinctive loud gearboxes, and a the first of a triple bill of B7s, it's 32526. 32526 was brand new to First West Yorkshire, seemingly allocated to Halifax all of its working life, originally adorning 'Barbie' livery, and a variant for route 576 between Halifax & Bradford via Queensbury. Then recieving an orange 'Zest' livery for route 503 from Halifax to Huddersfield via Calderdale Hospital, before finally wearing a branding-less standard Olympia livery. I'm not too sure when 32526 arrived in Essex, either in 2020 or 2021, mostly to oust Tridents and comprises a batch of five 54 & 05-plate B7s based at Basildon, which operate a multitude of routes. 32526 comprised my vehicle coming home from work, wasn't considering videoing it under I heard the sound the gearbox made. 32526 is powered by a Euro 3 Volvo D7C engine coupled to a ZF Ecomat 4/5? speed gearbox. One for the B7 and ZF lovers to enjoy! Start: Hollowfield Avenue Finish: Orsett Hospital
