Hello guys,
I've uploaded a video I took quite some time ago on board a Leyland Olympian Tri-Axle on what is the most treacherous motorway in Hong Kong. I've uploaded it on YouTube for you people to enjoy!
A little background:
The Tuen Mun Highway is the very first expressway in Hong Kong and was built to link Tuen Mun (a "new town" back then) to the city centre. It is notorious for accidents due to its narrow lanes, sharp turns, steep slopes combined with the extremely busy traffic.
My love for busses started precisely on this route. As a kid, we made the long trip to my grandmother's place every now and then, and the route was dominated by these (massive back then) Leyland Olympian tri-axles. Being a kid, I was awestruck and found the trip amazing.
Thus, I simply had to get my lazy bum and tape the route due to its sentimental value.
