err it's not raining today and I was on one earlier so while this maybe the last Bendy bus it's definitely not the last drive. However this is most definitely your most friendly driver :-)
A bendy bus is like 1 single decker towing 3 /4 of another one. I bet they were scary to drive and a pig to park up and service them since they couldn't go over pits.
I drive bendy buses on a daily basis, in Denmark though. They are no different to drive than a single decker with no bend. Reversing is just like reversing with a trailer. It's one of the most simple buses to drive. A bus with 3 axles is more difficult to drive than a bendy bus. They go over pits easily. The bend can bend 30 degrees up and down with no difficulties. Side to side is around 70-80 degrees before it locks itself.
I drove similiar ones for calgary transit Canada ...they were a royal pain in the winter time otherswise ok ..dont know how they manipulate the uk roundabouts
No she's not scared! She's been driving busses 20 odd years. Shes was a great laugh, that's her serious face for the cameras
I shall miss the bendy bus.
Nigel King come to Singapore still have bendies
@@Coastalsquire 50 left, 40 after next year
I didn't even know there were bendy buses with this bodystyle...
First have a fair amound
To mark they're retirement? The correct word is 'their'. They're is a shortening of they are.
in poland they have articulated trolleybuses
It's assumed there gone wish are area was big enough to take one to ride but they were rather long no bents anyway
She looks terrified as hell
Michael Langley it's a she?
Michael Langley that is a he
Or, as it says at the end, Karen Roberts...a she :)
As a driver myself I'd say thats her concentrating. People seem to think driving a bus is easy. I can assure you it isn't :-)
In Utrecht they have double articulated buses!
Are u sure it wasn't a tram ! X
@@petergoodwin9090 definitely a bus. In Zurich there are double articulated trolleybuses!
Wow ! A lot of imagination and funding change car culture . X

They may be coming back to birmingham when we have the commonwealth games in 2022 replacing the deckers.
Im sad that its gone
Is X401 CSG the last surviving Wright Solar fusion - L94UA then?
No. FE02 AKV was preserved and it can occasionally be seen in and around Nottinghamshire.
FP51 EXN is also around too. It was turned into a school library! :-)
Volvo B10M that is a Scania L94UA
Volvo B10M its a solar eclipse l94 ua
Good bye bendy bus

Oxterel Bendy buses surely do well in Continental Europe, but remember that streets are much narrower in the UK
Bendy buses are only suitable for airports since there is alot of space and can carry lots of passengers.
@@jaggass yep like Gatwick
@@lenmediastudio still got in Brighton
the end bit was wired were the bendy was there then the next a double deck
Yes
is that Rainbow Line
Nope Navy line
RIP Bendy Buses, live in Nottingham but never got to go on one. Sad times
Don't worry NHVC in Hucknall own one of the bendy buses and sometimes goes out on open days.
Michael Langley I went on that one. it was green and silver. I guess that's the preserved livery
It is.
@@jaggass yh
Same
Why were they retired? They look like they're in good condition.
they don't like old buses because that would withdraw their bus company of the year awards
Actually they retired as the axel kept failing on the back wheels
@@xxiiilllxllliiixx4995 A common fault on the Wright Solars. As trent barton are having issues with the ones on the Skylink and Calverton services.
Too dangerous
Why did they get rid of them?
They didn't?
