ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 มี.ค. 2018
- Doubledeckeranton once again catches up with the last buses 🚍 and drivers 👮 operated by Abellio London, this time on Route 172.
As the route transfers ➡ to another bus company in London on March 17th 2018, Anton speaks to some of the drivers and passengers en-route from Brockley Rise to Clerkenwell Green.
Driver Tadese from Ethiopia is looking forward to driving brand new buses 😀👍 at the New Cross garage from where he previously worked before the route was transferred 7 years ago!
Driver Godfrey decides to stay 👌 at Walworth and drive 🚍 route 45, taking Anton on his final 172 journey through Brockley, New Cross, Old Kent Road, Elephant & Castle (where driver Mariusz takes over) and continues the journey through Waterloo, Aldwych, Royal Courts of Justice, Fleet Street (taking in views of St Pauls Cathedral) and finishing at Clerkenwell Green.
The 2005 Wright bodied Gemini Volvo B7L buses will be replaced by new Enviro Hybrids on Alexander Dennis Bodies!
Anton reminisces 😉 about driving these very same buses when he was based at Walworth garage in 2012-2016.
Also on the journey coincidentally is Random Bus Girl Alicia who was also documenting the final day of bus operation by Abellio.
A Big thankyou 👏 to all the bus drivers at Abellio for their many years of service on Route 172 between Brockley Rise and St Pauls/Clerkenwell Green in the City. 👍😆

The accent you put on when u was speaking to the 172 driver 😂😂
Glad to say I retired from the Buses after 12 years of driving the 93 bus from North Cheam to Putney bridge. Still wake up some days thinking I'm going to be late for work and its great to turn over and go back to sleep. Got 12 years safe driving awards for safe driving and never scratched a bus. Made some lifelong friends with the fellow drivers and had so many memorable moments, but it's good to now be able to plan my day around what's on TV and beer times with the guys :) ~ Drive carefully and good luck for the future my fellow driver.
Voith B7TL's are great buses. they run most of my local routes up here in Edinburgh
Nice video. I’ve been in Thailand for a month and still currently here and live opposite Honor oak park station. Nice to see my area!! So glad that Go ahead have the 172 back and at last the route will have decent buses. It’s not had new buses since the PVL’s that go ahead ran on it last!!!
Are these not decent buses?
Good video as ever, as sad as it is to see an old bus / old route go, it is really good to see some nice London bus drivers and some more enthusiasts. See you in the next one.
Class 05 ...yes thanks. ..I thought I'd be on my own the whole journey to the city!
That's why I like these unplanned vlogs..as I don't know what I will film! 😀
10:40 172 ibus mix up, Telford Avenue, New Park Lane.
Anton thanks for great films about bus driving in London. Thoroughly enjoy them. Have fun be safe.
WOW! Absolutely amazed how long those roller destination blinds have been going for and yet the ones, we have got up here in Scotland are mainly yellow and dot matrix format. Edinburgh is the exception where it's similar to those in London black background with white colour text.
Happy St.Patricks Day Anton from Dublin
Stephen Hyland ..happy St Pats day Stephen! 😀
Hello @@DoubleDeckerAnton
Great Video Anton! Thanks to you I have discovered more bus driving channels like Bus Driver Johnny!
Harvey Dee ...yes harvey...hopefully more drivers will talk about the driving job and entertain us from different parts of the world! 😃
Naprawdę uwielbiam londyńskie autobusy i oglądam cię każdego dnia. Dzięki, stary
Prosze xD
Great video! I miss those buses. 14:09 is one of my favourite bus routes:)
Man, am gonna miss these, I remember I used to take these 7 years ago on 141 with old destination bus 😭😭
ItsMo ..yes I just missed 9018 which had the very old multi destination blind on!
The old blinds contain more information!
Aswell as 2005 Volvo B7TLs, Abellio ran ALX400 bodied Transbus Tridents new to Armchair in 2003 on the 172.
Ross Colley ....yes...some were 210 hp and others were 230hp...I remember reading the details on the metal plates near the front door of the bus!
+DoubleDeckerAnton Indeed, we only have Volvo B7TL versions of the ALX400 here in West Yorkshire, we also have the Wrightbus B7TL.
Amazing video Anton!
great video keep up the good work
I like these old Walworth Volvos, I used to get to ride these on the Greater Anglia rail replacement service. Now we’ve got a few of the classic E400s (from 2006/2007) but it’s mostly hybrids. Did you know Abellio Borismasters have ventured as far as Southend on rail replacement?!
Good video. Keep it up anton
Great video Anton, I like these videos when you ride a bus that is changing company, reminds me of your 343 video. Kind regards Jack 👍
Another great video Anton.
Those volvo wrights will most likely end up for sale with ensign and most like be sold to the uk or irish market
awesome video RIP abellio London b7tl 2004 to 2018
I will do this route tomorrow
Great video as always pal 👍
Nice video Anton!
Another great video Anton love your videos
Joshgamer211 ...thankyou Josh 😆👍
Hey Joshgamer 221你今天過得怎麼樣？
2:31 at least the 172 has its new timetable, the 161 still has the old one at some stops also great video!
0:04 when the train left the platform then the station is getting creepy
Excellent video - I really enjoyed it and did not fast forward once !
Great video Anton. Your channel is awesome 😊🚍
Sarah Cornelius ..thanks Sarah! 😆👍
DoubleDeckerAnton you're welcome 😊😊
Hello Anton, a fantastic bustour through London. I really miss London! A year ago you spoke about doing a special drive test for old Routemaster. You forgot to give us an update. It would be good do a video on the world famous Routemaster anyway. It would attract another group of subscribers. In the Netherlands the main atraction in the Bus and Tram Museum in The Hague is one the real old London Routemasters. So I think it this a very important bus for London. Maybe you can explain why the old Routemaster had to be replaced? For me it's just like that we would decide to destroy all our windmills
I will miss these buses. They were one of my most favourite buses in the world. RIP Volvo WrightBus Gemini Eclipse 1.
Awesome video x
Good Video anton!!
Awsome vidoe once again
Thomas Mcburney ..big thanks Thomas 😀👌
Great Video, shame I didn't ride this route with these buses!
Nice informative video again
The 28, 270, 44 are my nearest bus routes and they still have the old destination board (they are still quite rare)
Hello Anton great show
I like Buses so much
I remember BX55XLT from when it operated from Beddington Cross (BC) on the 157
Great video Anton, nice to see a Route Changeover from another perspective! You seem to miss your old company though :)
BusesInLondon ...I miss it a bit but I like the new company!
Il miss the old buses as they had character!
I enjoyed that and your "interview" with Alicia, plus my enjoyment had the added influence of my daughter living on the route, close to the Brockley Rise terminus. Hope to ride and get some shots this coming weekend when ai visit. Another Yorkshireman 'darn sarf'!

DoubleDeckerAnton the best in the business apart from Scania Omnicity
DoubleDeckerAnton how do you know how much recording time you have left on your phone?
11:44
I honestly couldnt agree with you more
It gets really annoying at times
Anime Fan ...yes it happened whilst I was upstairs..a passenger saying that the driver should know all the roads.....but we are not taxi drivers..!!
Some passengers expect too much!
DoubleDeckerAnton love your video
I wish we had someone like you in America, New York.
another great vid do loads more
The 172 should be extended to Forest Hill from Brockley Rise, and then revive it to St. Paul's.
It should be operated by abellio again as well as go ahead have cut the route
See a new 172 yesterday morning on my way to work in New cross
Love these buses
Anton, should do a talk about headway and such, as I knew drivers who worked together to keep a good service on a route I cant mention but they all knew the pinch points and worked together to ensure a good service. I rarely see this now. Too many drivers take the mick
To be honest The B7L Was a great bus But i absolutely love E400 2007 Models and in my town we still use them and the B7L.
I feel really sorry for the old busses because people don't care enough to treat them nicely and just leave their crap there.
👍nice vid
Iza Adamik ...thanks Iza ☺
I love buses. My city buses are finally getting hybrids even better than before
At 2:23 who else was confused to see the Dutch Railway Service (NS: Nationale Spoorwegen) logo next to abellio on a London Bus? TFL EXPLAIN! (You too Anton!)
Sorry for the late reply but, Abellio are owned by NS so that's why
Man I’m just moving out of London and the 172/ 168 were always the buses I took from central London to bricklayers arms
Really wierd seeing this bus here in that state as BX55 XLV which I believe was also with Abellio/Travel London is now an Open Topper with EYMS in Scarborough
Thank you Anton from Ethan
Brilliant video Anton! I prefer the new company, I tried it today on the first day and it was amazingly comfortable definitely love the new MMCs, you caught the 172 I caught haha on the last day but I caught it earlier in the day
LondonBuses1503 ...yes the new buses will be appreciated by the public!
DoubleDeckerAnton I agree, they are much more comfortable then the old Volvos, as well as friendly drivers I encountered on the 172 today, couldn’t ask for a better service I hope the new company continues it well
LondonBuses1503 i like the new fresh smell of the interior on the mmcs
LondonBuses1503 i think they are more comfortable becayse Gal bought new buses for this route
I used to take this to New Cross Gate its sad they have Gone
I actually love the livery on those buses

I miss the old Volvo 172
172 Telford Avenue lol iBus messed up. Nice video Anton
Those buses are the best. I’m gonna cry
Bruh.
This is a good video
Hello Anton, have you ever thought of doing a new question and answer video. I have some questions to ask. keep up the great videos
Tate modern is close to st pauls. Millennium foot bridge. What you saw was most probably the national theatre
Nice vid
Aarone ....cheers Aarone 👍
Since 19 March 2011 I remember the 172 was getting Abellio London with 14 existing Trident 9.9m/ALX400 double deckers from Walworth garage from Go Ahead London at New Cross Garage.
Jamie Amoah ...yes I remember driving them...they had a bit of power but the drivers seat wasn't very comfortable with the seat and pedal arrangement!
I was on this route on Friday filming and I thought to my self that Anton will come on the last service of this route and I was right:)
im polish also and like your channel
Bogusia Azar ...dziękuje bardzo 😁
DoubleDeckerAnton u speak polish?
@@JasonsTransportGamingVideos He is polish
Gemini 1’s (Those buses) will be used in Birmingham probably, as the interior is the same in Birmingham’s anyway
Why are most of the old buses going? I really love them and I’m gonna miss them because of the sound of them. It’s such a shame,they are barely gonna be any old buses since they are it to electric/hybrid but I like them anyways.😀👍🏾
Scaped or sold to other companies
@@ryanhack8755 scraped *
The older busses are leaving due to them being very high emissions which is terrible for the environment and also create noise pollution
@@mandemt1076
Only those who have misophonia
@@mandemt1076
All those older buses were the original electric buses but 20 years ago. 2018 saw the plug pulled on the last older buses in London.
That 1st 172 has moved to York Running on the number 3 Park & Ride
this bus has my fav red handels
Man i love g1s
N87 is out at night in Aldwych to Kingston
They take you around in a circles if I remember this bikes
172 abellio buses are withdrawn. They are taken by route 45 using enviro 400 MMCs.
Nice u gained an extra 200 subs
Exzotic Fuze ...yes it's picking up again! 😊

RE BROCKLEY RISE, THE OLD ROUTE 172 RAN THERE FROM 5 APRIL 1952 TO 15 OCT 1957 AND THE PRESENT 171 HAS BEEN RUNNING TO BROCKLEY RISE FROM `16 OCT 1957.FROM 1 FEB 1992 SINCE WHEN BOTH THE 171 AND 172 HAVE SERVED BROCKLEY RISE TOGETHER. SEE FULL HISTORIES ON IAN ARMSTRONG LONDON BUSES ROUTE HISTORY SITE.
15:51 what happened to the iBus?😂
Looks like you found your new girl friend their Anton! great video mate, enjoyed that.
I got on this bus today
My local depot had lost 3 routes 181 284 and 161 they all gone to stagecoach from metro bus
ItzJohnnyJohn ...that's a lot of routes gone...! Are there any more coming to the garage?
idk they used to use b7tls on 161 and now enviro 400 mmc
Just got news we got 3 new routes in december 51 R5 R10
Wow! I didn't know you were polish!
There were a lot of alx400 back in the past
I Miss These Old Wright Gemini 1's
So Unfair That TFL Scrapped Them
Cool in germany (near colonge) we have abelio trains
They will be operated by nice new buses cause abellio was basically using the oldest on the depot ie 55 plates loud noisy buses
These were the best buses with Abellio.
100%
Hi Anton, could you do more of your baking videos? as I thought they were really good!
We have those Volvo buses for college in East Yorkshire
Hi, I watch you, but I had no idea that you speak Polish 🙂 I drive a bus in Poland. We have only singledeckers. There are a lot of bendy buses and I usualy drive a bendy bus. Greetings from Poland🙂
We'll probably get them up north (Newcastle, Sunderland area) as we got your old WVL's (Can't remember them all but its the batch WVL150 was from) and get used on Scholar and private hire work!
You got the Go Ahead London ones. These ones are Abellio London, so I doubt they'll head up to the North East
We also got ex Arriva ones, at this point the north will take anything!
The B7TL will either be transferred to another company like first,arriva ETC... either for parts or for spares. Also question do your B7TLs overheat? Ours suffer badly from overheating in bradford
I found the BX55 XLT by some warehouse on southampton way looks like its rotting :( would be nice if you do a video on it if you read this comment. If you want the location of it then feel to reply to my comment. Till later anton and STAY SAFE!!
wow
Travel london had same seats as national express west midlands which used to be travel west midlands
In 2011 route 172 went to St Paul but 172 is going clerk well green and in 2019 172 so abellio will go to scapyard
Hi Anton! Just curious, How many of London's Bus Routes have you driven and which ones are your faves?🤔
East Thames buses.
Who remembers them
185 108 180
@@Paulschat & the 201 and 42
The best route was 185
