The RMC, RCL and those RMLs built for the Country Bus department (and thus passed on to London Country) were only semi-automatic. No third pedal, but gears were selected manually - you had to change up and down the box. It was the same with most buses of that (my!) era. We had no fully automatic buses of any description (and more than a few fully manual ones, but that's getting off the topic in hand). -- Bill Hayles http://billnot.com |
