Correct technique is to brake down to 10kts, and allow it to accelerate slowly back to 30, then repeat. Most drivers will only brake down to 20kts, some 15.
Taxiing down Tango for departure runway 34R in SYD in my 737, and every knot less than 30 sucks the life out of me
This is the correct technique from an Airbus manual
On long, straight taxiways, and with no ATC or other ground traffic constraints, the PF should allow the aircraft to accelerate to 30 kt, and should then use one smooth brake application to decelerate to 10 kt. The PF should avoid continuous brake applications.
Either follow the published procedure or get another career.

Yep... apologies for stealing the direction! Just a quick conversation piece as I’ve seen it a couple of times lately where no queue down the end, and nobody on final 34R... back to my rain-delayed big bash!

A320/1 Brake temps on 34R are a real issue at heavy weights or strong northerly winds.
the problem is, if you follow the Airbus recommendation and accelerate to 30 kts, then brake to 10, you will hit your brake temp limit, guaranteed.
I find only allowing the bus to go to 20 kts, then slowing her down to a couple of knots prevents this as brake energy absorption is exponential the faster you go.

Maybe we're overthinking this - it's less than an hour's drive AV - ML. If the busses were available in reasonable time, then the pax and bags are delivered to ML say 90 minutes after landing at AV. Take the "guaranteed" option in a similar timeframe to flying them up, without all the associated refuelling / weather / ATC uncertainties?
