I love the styling of the Leyland Atlantean @ 1:56 looks totally amazing & the styling of the Leyland National @ 3:26 is my favourite & the Leyland National makes a great sound
Thanks for posting and interesting and well edited presentation. To me it really captures the decline in the standard of Sheffield's busses. The decline started when SYPTE came into being and changed the much love livery of Sheffield's busses to their grotesque livery. Further decline happened when bus services were privatised to some extent, this resulted in a multitube of horrible liveries, very old and tatty fleets as obviously the operators could barely maintain them let alone purchase new units. Things would greatly improve if Sheffield City Council were able to operate their own modern fleet in original Sheffield Transport Department livery.
Great video this is the real buses from yesteryear! I like the Leyland DAB bodied Bendy buses with the TL11 engines, same engines fitted to the Pacers Trains with the ZF Ecomat Gearboxes. Also are those Voith Atlanteans I'm hearing? where they Original fitted with Voith or Converted to Voith later in life?
At 15.17 thought there was going to be an accident at the roundabout: Double-Decker (unsure of the make) looked like it was going to T-Bone a National! Surprised by the number of Scottish buses in the city, lots of Alexander bodies flying around... I only ever saw 1 YRT Alexander Single-deck in Swansea, ever!
I don't miss those Eager Beavers though. Woe be tide ya if you were on the back seat of those things and you didn't hold on to the handrail in front! Especially going over a bump in the road, nevermind Speed bumps!😡😉 Used to fly about a foot an' half off the seat if you didn't! 🤭😉🤣
Is it just me, or do you find yourselves dipping into these videos every time there's another nightmarish revision of the bus services?? September 2024 for example. That person who had a quick chat with Tory MP Irvine Patnick and asked "You've privatised everything else, why don't you privatise the buses?", has got a lot to answer for! 🤬😡🤭
Fan bloody tastic. Brought back some good memories

the creation of new municipal bus companies has been banned since 2017, franchising is the way forward
Great sharing
Thank you so much 🙂

The angle of the camera is misleading. I know the junction well and whilst it appears close there would have been plenty space.
I don't miss those Eager Beavers though.
