I made it! All two and a half hours! Wonderful scenery! No needless sound tract or unnecessary dialogue..... just beautiful scenery!! The time went by very quickly!
Was that a 102, because it travelled via Brenzett and not Camber? Looks like it could have been diverted to avoid the gridlock at Camber Sands.( traffic tailing all the way back to Rye)
What a trip! I really like Folkstone, and I could easily see myself living in the Folkstone-Dymchurch area. Since I was a small boy, I've holidayed in this kind of landscape and I loved every minute of it and just wanted to stay there forever. These coastal bus trips are just the best!
For me, UK is the most beautiful country in the World. I love your country and your culture. Much love from Brazil. You have that neat urbanism, its so unique and beautiful. I wish I could visit it or even live there, but since I can't, I'm going to be watching your videos.
This driver is awesome. He/She stops for opposing traffic and pedestrians wanting to cross at crosswalks. I wish American drivers drove this way. Great ride. Thank you.
Very scenic bus ride through South England, had a great time watching it. Both the nature and the small towns and villages on the way are beautiful, thanks for sharing the ride, greetings from a roadtripper and creator from Germany!
From a huge fan of your work from the suburbs of Philadelphia, USA. I have always dreamed of a magical journey around England and at 71 however in great shape physically, the odds of a Trans-Atlantic vacation post-COVID are looking more dim. However, your videos are done so beautifully and professionally I feel like I am truly on the bus at my 56 inch LED PC monitor. Thank you so much for all you do and I am still hoping that Britannia is still on my bucket list!!!
Back in the 80s, I worked out of Hastings & District's Rye Depot (now long gone) and drove this route often. I loved it and watching this brought back some great memories. I'm glad I found this post. In case anyone is wondering what was going on with all the congestion approaching Rye, this is a common occurrence in the summer caused by the vast numbers of day-trippers trying to get to Camber Sands. It can play the very devil with bus timetables.
Today, Sunday (25/09), it was a very sad morning. Then I came across this delicious 🚌 trip! How wonderful! 😊✌Saved my day, with these sensational landscapes. 🙏 Thank you so much for sharing with us!!! 💕🇬🇧
And greetings from Australia. Thank you so much. I thoroughly enjoyed the journey. It was a quintessentially English road trip. Even the traffic jam near the end.
Greetings from Canterbury. Although I haven't had the time to view this whole video, I've seen a few snippets of it here and there. Recognize many stretches of road here as I've been alone them myself. Thank you for making this video.
Brings back memories of when I worked on the Dover Folkstone clean beach scheme, the treatment plant was built at Capel and tunnels and trenches were dug from Dover and Folkstone. that took foul water to Capel where it was cleaned and then the clean discharge went trough a turbine that generated the power needed to pump the raw water uphill. Mains power was only needed to start the system running. I drove those roads daily inspecting each site, great views across the channel, there was a bakery on the left before reaching Capel that did great buns etc. Often had a pit stop there. Sat here in Vietnam you have brought it all back, THANKS
Although it is stagecoach the buses In Kent and Sussex up to and including in Eastbourne carry East Kent Road car company Limited legal lettering by the door.
This is one of my favourite routes! If you’re down this way again try the route 2 from Ashford to Hastings via Tenterden, it’s a good 2 hours and very pretty! Usually I’d get a 100 or 101 back to Rye then a 102 back to Folkestone then back home via Canterbury.
Thanks for sharing. What a lovely trip I would love to be on that bus, so many pretty little villages/towns to see and country views, love the sheep too.
Loved it . Having lived in Kent nearly 20yrs ago brought back happy memories , But one thing I don't miss is the traffic . Now living in Yorkshire so much easy to get about by car because Bus serves I'm afraid are not great usually only one every 2hrs and last bus at 18:00hrs .
Some of my best childhood memories where spending a weeks summer holiday with my Mum and sisters staying at the (then family owned) 'New Beach Holiday Camp' Dymchurch (57.13) and getting a bus into the village or Hythe. Simple, innocent and wonderful summer days, Wow!. Absolutely wonderful videos ( I must get on a south coastal tour bus very soon!).
Boa tarde, acompanho daqui de São Paulo, no Brasil...realmente gosto muito de fazer essas viagens abordo desses ônibus incríveis e apreciando lugares mais incríveis ainda. Muuuuito obrigado.
I have really enjoyed what you have produced over time. Your work is fantastic and meets my need to travel vicariously - you take all the stress out of travel for me. Thank you.
I put my music on, sit back and enjoy the ride. Your videos are fantastic and I get to see different parts of the country where I've never been, thank you for sharing.
A wonderful ride, apart from that very irritating (for the driver and passengers) traffic jam before Rye. That huge queue of people at the bus stop when it arrived!
I would also like to point out that this route is being diverted in the summer time... After leaving Lydd it would normally travel down the Lydd Road passing through Camber and then on to Rye. However during the summer season Camber is gridlocked with traffic hence the diversion from Lydd and onto the A259 via Brenzett and Brookland on route to Rye...
@@peterdowden7694 Its just as bad on the return trip out of Rye as the junction at East Guildeford is gridlocked too... Traffic bumper to bumper all the way... Horrendous...
A very picturesque run, except for the stacks of wheelie bins in the tiny front yards of houses in the last two minutes. And the lines of traffic; I know where >not< to go on a sunny Sunday afternoon! 🙂
Can't wait to watch this. It's one of my favourite journeys form my home in Folkestone down to Rye to check out all the junk shops. Thank you so much for doing this one. 17:52 a pale blue Suzuki Jimny drives past. That's my dad! 1:28:31 the ugliest house in Kent.
Thanks so much for this video, it's brought back many memories of when I used to live in Essex and drove a PSV vehicle in the Clacton Colchester Chelmsford London area during the 1970's. Now Ilive in Texas, USA., but still miss my homeland. To me at least? It looks like it was filmed on maybe a Sunday? as some of the shops are all closed up and the roads seem quiet.
Very interesting. I know this road between Dover and RHDR station at New Romney. It seems I was there, driving, yesterday. But, in fact, my last visit there took place 5 years ago ! Hope to visit this area again, very soon. Thank you for sharing.
Well done my friend absolute magic... Years ago the bus route number was 711 and went from Dover to Brighton... Then it was cut back to Eastbourne and then reduced further to Hastings... They called it the WAVE... However these days the renumbered 102 now terminates at Rye so if you wish to travel on down the coast you catch either the 100 or 101 Via Icklesham or Fairlight... Maximum distance covered from the start point is 56 KM... Bloody EU rules...
@@Wanderizm Absolute pleasure my friend... Should you need to travel onto Eastbourne then change at Hastings railway station and catch the 99. Once in Eastbourne then its bus number 12 or 12 X to continue onto Brighton mind you there is always the train...
Having lived in Sandgate (Always got off the [East Kent Bus] route #103 at the bus stop at 37:06 - Brewers Hill) back in the 60's & 70's, but now been in NZ for the last 30 years watching this brought back so many memories - thank you for posting this. It was interesting seeing what's new & what's exactly the same after all these years.
East Kent buses takes me back to my childhood - plum red and dark cream buses so distinctive. A lot has changed down here Sandgate is a very sort after place now and quite posh but I like it.
@@jasonsmart3482 It was always reassuring seeing that red and cream colour on the double-deckers coming along the Esplanade - especially in the stormy winter months when the sea would splash onto the road - often the road would be closed and the busses would divert up Hospital Hill, through Shorncliffe Camp (you could still drive through the camp in the '60's), then down Military Road to the top of Sandgate. Living in the middle we could only guess if the road was closed or not & often only the bus was on the road with little traffic around. If the road was closed we'd have to walk along the storm path (Brewers Hill - West Lawn Gardens/Prospect Rd - Encombe -Hillside - Wilberforce Rd) a walk with a lot of muddy paths and bushes dripping cold water down your necks - so seeing the bus in the distance was always reassuring (if really wet and stormy I'd often wait in the phone box at the bottom of Brewers Hill)
@@davidcollins9512 Thanks to the sea defences (building up of shingle by huge earth mover vehicles) that have been put in along the beach at Sandgate, the sea doesn't break over the road anymore. You'll no doubt remember that the Fishermen's Cottages that back onto the promenade through to Folkestone regularly flooded. But that's all stopped and the remains of Sandgate Castle is no longer in threat from the sea. Shorncliffe Camp is mostly gone now, replaced by horrible housing estates. I grew up on Royal Military Avenue (the road opposite the Garrison Church - now the Tower Theatre) in the 70s and 80s, and the Camp was our playground. It's all changed up there.
Excellent; bit of calming sanity, and some old memories from New Romney railway station. Plus some respite from all this 'hating' shit on social media.
AMAZING JOURNEY - I KNOW DOVER - FOLKSTONE AND THE A259 - VERY VERY WELL FROM THE 1980'S - WORTHING TO DOVER - NIGHT AND DAY AND VERYE ARLY MORNING AND VERY LATE AT NIGHT - NOT TO MENTION BRIGHTON, ANGMERING - WHERE I HAD MY OLD VBMW SERVICED - THEN IT DIED IMMEDIATELY AFTER I GOT OF THE FERRY IS OSTENDE - THAT WAAS A NIGHT - THANKS - THIS VIDEO BRINGS BACK OVER 10 YEARS OF MEMORIES - NOT TO MENTION INSTALLING AND SERVICING COMPUTERS AT SUSSEX UNIVERSITY - LOTS OF MEMORIES - MUCH THANKS
I never knew Tontine street in Folkestone was two way and I was only along there last week, shows how much I know lol. Lovely ride though, I enjoyed this as I don't get out of town, so to go to Rye again was a treat for me, thanks, and now I know where the new Aldi is in Hythe.
It was changed a couple of years ago to two way, along with Tram Road, and totally against the wishes of the residents. But Tontine is only two way for buses and taxis. Private vehicles can only drive up the road, not down. Tram Road is now two way for all, and there's been numerous accidents.
I actually did this route on the 9th of June from Hastings to Dover, and it was a long old route. I did see one or two comments under this video complaining about the sound of the aircon, and tbh, it is needed on a hot and sunny day though I felt it wasn't strong enough. I will be doing the route again in the coming week as I didn't get to finish filming Dover for my own channel as the last bus to Hastings is like 17.21.
Know this route well in fact at 13.24 the bus goes past the end of my road on the left. On the few occassions I get the bus its either just to Dover or Folkestone Rye at the end of the route is very historic picturesque town well worth a visit - as is Folkestone which has improved so much,
Last time I actually travelled on the route Volvo Olympians were running on it. Think it was 2000 or 2001. I hope to be doing the route, though not in one go, next year.
Must be wonderful to ride in those double-decker buses they are never seen in Australia only single decks here although we do have a bendy bus that is articulated in the middle how difficult it must have been for bus drivers before the advent of power steering and auto gearboxes still buses running on and built for the horse and cart take a lot of skill.
It would be helpful for viewers who don’t know the part of the country the bus is passing if the name of the places could appear on the screen. Thank you.
Greetings from Tucson Arizona USA. This is the second video I've watched, and I have to admit that I've had to resort to on-line study of UK road symbols and signage because it's a dizzying array that's unfamiliar to me. I am fascinated tho by the Brits' love for "roundabouts", which are rare here in USA.

Not quite sure, to be honest. But I do know that Stagecoach invested in hybrid buses. The front window of the bus usually has a sign indicating whether it is an electric or hybrid vehicle, but not this one.
Thx, W. I really like your vids of England. I’m from the other side of the pond and have never been to UK. But I feel like I have been getting a ringside seat to the best tour o could ever have had.

Not quite sure, to be honest. But I do know that Stagecoach invested in hybrid buses. The front window of the bus usually has a sign indicating whether it is an electric or hybrid vehicle, but not this one.
Thx, W. I really like your vids of England. I’m from the other side of the pond and have never been to UK. But I feel like I have been getting a ringside seat to the best tour o could ever have had.
When we come out of the tunnel, we just turn right right and have a hotel just about 29:49.. It's so different world from the other side. Thx!
Is this bus lowering when it stops and the raising when gets ready to proceed?!
