I'll never forget Patel from Streatham Bus Garage called in a mechanical on the G1 (Metrorider) at St. Leonard's Church. Frank the engineer came out and caught him red handed cutting off the fan belt lol 😂
4:50 That bus I'm literally dying to buy, if I had the money and if I was able to. Was a local bus to me, and my favourite out of the batch that Stagecoach Huntingdonshire/Fens had.
@@TransportCambs What do you mean by "if you had the money"? They are dirt cheap. £1500 or so. You could surely save that up in a few months. Do Ebay, gardening, odd jobs, live in a van to save rent. You can easily buy the bus of your dreams if you put your mind to it. Then live in the bus to save even more rent!! Before buses went to Wombwell, they used *smash the absolute crap* out of them with sledgehammers, burn the old wooden body, and chop the frame with gas torches. This was at Rainham and other Thames Estuary breakers. Nowadays, Barnsley pays the best prices. It's just up the M1. Central UK location to buy up scrap buses from everywhere in the UK. Anyway, enjoy the video below of a total smash fest bus destruction carnage! th-cam.com/video/drE3lgaTgTA/w-d-xo.html
That DAF Vanhool was an ultimate coaches motor from barnsley, a driver ran it dry of oil and buggered engine up thats why its there, there is also an Ex Dalesman coaches of Leeds Vanhool Daf Alizee MB230 in Geoff Ripleys somewhere would love to see a video of all around that
At time 4m:01, I can see a BK Barking trident bus. Blimey I think I worked on that one before I resigned after 34 years service. Sad to see it in the scrap yard.
Them Wright single deckers are pure dirt, use to drive them up to Johnny foxes in Dublin mountain, brakes were dirt, engine regularly over heat, horrible seat position and steering, just pure dirt to drive....
Trying to find a 1997 year Dennis dart slf any condition is there any there first colour or arriva or rossodale there and where is this and how owns the land kaolla su
@@kaolla1000 ah right, I loved driving the 200 it was a nippy little bus which would fit down most streets. These must be a later shape which is why I mistook them for Wright bodied streetlytes (which btw are shocking)...👍
@@kaolla1000 oh what ashame would have liked to preserve one there getting so rare to find now if she was in working order I would just fix the windows hopefully she can find a new home:)

To be honest I'd never buy something like that I'd like to buy a Volvo B7RLE Wright eclipse 2 as there NY favorite or maybe a scania solar
@@cameronlaw4552 Wrong bus, I meant the first bus at the beginning. A B10BLE.
@@TransportCambs I think the same about them I never really liked them

It's so sad, I'm sure parts could be reused,

Im guessing that place is like a garage to fix old and new buses also storage.
its a overflow yard for the scrapyard, they store them there beforegoing to the main scrapyard
Some of these buses dont look in bad nick, they should be shipped to India they would get at least another 10 years out of them!
Sad to see 3110 West Midlands MCW Metrobus in such a state, obviously been there for a good few years.
Them Wright single deckers are pure dirt, use to drive them up to Johnny foxes in Dublin mountain, brakes were dirt, engine regularly over heat, horrible seat position and steering, just pure dirt to drive....
The mcw are ex west midlands numbered 3110 and a 2400 batch.
R609NFX ex Wilts & Dorset 2609 Is Now Preserved with Bromley Bus Preservation Group
that solo NFX is damory
Quite sad to see ex WMT 3110. One of the last metrobuses built.
Did you get permission to go round the scrap yard some of the buses i remember has a lad this would be my holiday for a week 🏩🏨🌆
Trying to find a 1997 year Dennis dart slf any condition is there any there first colour or arriva or rossodale there and where is this and how owns the land kaolla su
Where is that place?
I’m looking for a double decker bus to buy!

@@alfiewhittaker3763t is, I'm not allowed to give an exact location but all I can say is it is in Barnsley.
2:56 a pair of unregistered streetlytes?
So many memories of oil and water leaks on those Solo Optares 😂
enviro 200s, that were on their way to new zealand
@@kaolla1000 ah right, I loved driving the 200 it was a nippy little bus which would fit down most streets. These must be a later shape which is why I mistook them for Wright bodied streetlytes (which btw are shocking)...👍
@@HairyBranflake007 thats the enviro200 mmc manufactured 2015-present, it sounds like a streetlite but is a much better bus than a streetlite
@@rabd9881 certainly couldn't be worse...😂
What yard is this
I wanted to see those aswell but I never that lucky but I can see them on the phone as I still say
Where about in the UK is there bus graveyards and can someone please please please please please take me to a bus graveyard please
I have bought the optare solo R609NFX for restoration
Can't all be to scrap. 2 new Enviro 200mmcs. They wouldn't be scrapped
the yard also stores new buses going overseas, the mmcs were bound for new zealand
ex Ipswich Buses Trident ALX 400 @ 3:00

im not a expert cameraman, but next time i can get out il try my best
Where is this location?
barnsley, the whole place is currently being cleared to make space for loads of scrap buses due from scotland so il be going back there in a few weeks

@@georgeelsley4305 no, only if you are getting parts
