When I was young in the early 2000s I remember the old stair buses first used to run they weren’t nice to ride but it was sad to see them go and the ALX400s where amazing I had the pleasure of riding one last year on route 7 from summerton sadly I think it has been scrapped though I’ll always miss the days of a diesel but times must change for better or for worse in this case worse I don’t like the electric buses there plain silent and uncomfortable and they cost the price of 3 diesels that’s insane
London is the only company keeping their tridents and darts for a bit longer though, it just shows how much the companys of buses think about them, beautiful engineering and then twenty years later (roughly) there at the scrapyard. I really think the could still have most running still today but you know, people (the company) dont care, I will really miss the lovely buses.
It's 2022 and in Leicester where i live have a few Leyland Olympians still running for schools and Arriva's Wright Pulsar Geminis are slowly being withdrawn from services by 2023
@Lukeno52 I use to work for First when they had Iveco minibuses with manual gearboxes, and by god, we had some old wrecks. Many of their older Volvo Renowns have grey paint that did indeed use to be white with battered panels that never seem to be repaired. At one time back in 2000, we had twenty year old mk2 Leyland Nationals that had beem stock piled, so you can imagine the condition they were in. First do have some proper shit buses, don't they?

Aren't these the vehicles that developed out of the Leyland National? When I left London back in early 70's, the RP/LCBS looked neat and classy, the LN just coming into green service alongside the MBs, MBSs etc.
Some ex-Glasgow D10M stil; service in Malta as open toppers. many old beasts gone to the knackers yard and maybe an ex-gm buses D10M at the endo of the video as there were the only D10M buses with northern counties bodies not to end up with Arriva as Arriva had most of them. I would like old beasts running malta style but would the half-cabs still be running?
Ah we have a plaxton verde down here in medway sometimes nu venture loan it from another local company, also we've got titans and recently a batch of the old alexander olympians like the ones at 2:08, shame to hear they are going elsewhere, we are lucky down here arriva have few step buses left, a few old northern counties volvo olympians and the odd east lancs stryder but thats it apart from nu venture who run a few routes here and have loads of step buses, darts, lynx's, titans, olympians etc
Good old mémorise some of them used to see at Luton 2006 2012 And London has withdrawn loads of Dennis dart ALX 400 old scania buses and now Emviro 400 Gona soon Go sadly
all The Halton Transport buses from 2008 - 2020 will be going the same way cause of Halton Borough Council allowing Halton transport to die on 24th January 2020, the company started of as Widnes Colrporation from 9th July 1909 - 24th March 1974, it then became Halton transport from 24th March 1974 - 24th January 2020, 111 years of service
I enjoyed watching these crappy old shitheap unaccessible lung cancer buses being torn apart at the scrapyard, real buses are alx400s, darts, mmcs, wright eclipse b7rle and enviro400s. It’s the future live with it 😁
The thing I don't get is why they're getting rid of these buses that would sell, saying they're low on money and buying shitty buses. Yes you Wright Streetelite!
Sure, I believe that many of the older buses are better than newer ones, but at least First replace their buses with good ones, mostly. However, I saw quite a few Dennis Darts in that video. We have a lot of those in Grimsby and personally I think they are some of the worst buses in current operation. They're just not pleasant for the passengers at all, no matter how economical for the operator. I certainly wouldn't run any, even if paid.
one went to connexions who bragged about the fact they scrapped it a retro one that was with huddersfield think new to halifax was thankfully preserved its 30486 its the celebratory liveryed one of 100 years of buses sin huddersfield one
How come the Routemaster were only designed to run for only 17 years but they actually got fifty years out of them and these only have like 16 - 18 years plus I also think these buses looked lovely and I really wish I could ride them, this is so sad 😭😭😭😭😭😭.
I can't say I'm too sad to see the Alexander body Dennis go, they were pretty horrible, though I have to say that I believe the ones First ran down here were a product of them taking over another company so they were second-hand, but by God they were horrible and they broke down constantly...
I'm sorry for you , I know how feels... By the way , my Romanian city did the same with some beautifull MAN NL 272 buses. And bought new Isuzu low quality buses 😢
i like arriva but i dont Travel with them been on there 166 route hybrid bus & i dont mind first group's buses as long as they dont make them self's look like a fool
The Verde Lances were truly awful buses, too much power, very poor brakes, and minimal suspension. I was the last person to drive a Lance in service in Leeds, and was glad to see the back of them, and so were the fitters! We pittied the poor sods down south who ended up with them. The Scania RH's & Striders were the best former Rider buses, especially 61117/8 and 31097. Very fast and chuckable. Now it is all boring plastic!

Only memories of these busses are forever, and the hurt feeling that they are scrapped. A big same that they arent exported to other country's.

Piano 🎹 🎶 music for scrap buses? My opinion is it should be heavy metal
Miss the first buses although i was in a first bus crash in 2005 or 6. Can't remember much about it
Great video, good to see Old Fieldhouse Lane in there
Might be future will back restore and upgrade with new redevelopment buses or so???
Very nice
Most of them look like the current Buses in Basildon and other parts of Essex. We get all the Buses that should be Scraped.

They cannot ever come back, They are not DDA. (They are not accessible to Wheelchairs, Older people e.g)

one went to connexions who bragged about the fact they scrapped it a retro one that was with huddersfield think new to halifax was thankfully preserved its 30486 its the celebratory liveryed one of 100 years of buses sin huddersfield one
whats the bus 1.07 into the vid??? we lost them in merseyside about a year ago and i miss them dearly.
First Wigan had these until 2015 overlapping to when Stagecoach took over in 2012
They want to this with a lot of there stock in Glasgow as they have a lot of old buses here that pump out thick black smoke from the exhaust.
How come the Routemaster were only designed to run for only 17 years but they actually got fifty years out of them and these only have like 16 - 18 years plus I also think these buses looked lovely and I really wish I could ride them, this is so sad 😭😭😭😭😭😭.
Most of them expect the Denis dart and alx400 looked a bit ugly and were not DDA compliant
are fare well pals we love uou to bits
even the alx400 huh? thats to new, in dublin there stil on service.
This music is very depressing
from 2:50 Not, too late now, the buses are being scraped now. 😖😖😖
@saladriot that is a dennice dart alexander dash the one without the pointy window screen
😢😢😢 bye bye buses
Were are these buses from
2:24 I use to ride on the bus that's in the middle of the double decker bus and the bus with no front 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
😭R.I.P
what's the bus at 2:00 the very first one beside a plaxton verde dennis lance?
I can't say I'm too sad to see the Alexander body Dennis go, they were pretty horrible, though I have to say that I believe the ones First ran down here were a product of them taking over another company so they were second-hand, but by God they were horrible and they broke down constantly...
If you think those are bad (I think they are good) ,streetdecks are worse....
I'm sorry for you , I know how feels...
By the way , my Romanian city did the same with some beautifull MAN NL 272 buses. And bought new Isuzu low quality buses 😢
Did not see any "Good Old Buses". Just tin and plastic boxes. Need to go further back to find good buses that were well made and lasted for years
I drove an m reg Dennis lance in 08 and a Volvo b10m.
If only first bus didnt have they policy. They would be still on the road otherwise.
This heartbreaking 😭😭 rip buses 💧💧💧
See u soon my big old friends 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
The route masters ran longer than that
Where I live in Swindon right now there withdrawing there dennis trident and darts it is so sad to see then both go rip tridents and darts
In fact where is there any ALX400s on this video. there is NONE i can find?
The Arriva ALX400 // Dennis Trident 2 is still in service in london and other places so idk what is going on
they are used on Buses of Somerset Routes (Taunton)
The Alexander Royale's will be withdrawn by the 1st of January or they should be
The arriva ALX400 For 2 more days later they will be withdrawn
The Darts were nice buses to drive, so were the Lances and Optare's but i didn't like the VR's too much - always seemed gutless.
2:08 eds momento on the middle one
FAREWELL LILY OCT-DEC 2022
i love arriva a d first buses to bit and for you that your gone now
i like arriva but i dont Travel with them been on there 166 route hybrid bus & i dont mind first group's buses as long as they dont make them self's look like a fool
Will be even worse now that all non disabled friendly single deck buses have been withdrawn.
And double decks at the end of the year
The Verde Lances were truly awful buses, too much power, very poor brakes, and minimal suspension. I was the last person to drive a Lance in service in Leeds, and was glad to see the back of them, and so were the fitters! We pittied the poor sods down south who ended up with them.
The Scania RH's & Striders were the best former Rider buses, especially 61117/8 and 31097. Very fast and chuckable. Now it is all boring plastic!
This is at huddersfield bus station 0:20
I had a feeling N113's were extinct but it has been confirmed, there are no Scanias with Voith still in production so no Scania and Voith anymore :(
***** Yes, they operate everywhere but all are ZF now. Omnicitys, Omnilinks, L94UBs, N230UD's etc.
0:48 looks like the ikaruses but goodbye old buses 😨😨😨😭😭😭😵😵😵 I miss the optare spectras and Mercedes o405 in Birmingham
Any way the DDA are idiots
#bringthemback
They have been ripped to pieces with a grab claw by now, and the metals chopped up and melted to make new objects.
Wait! I saw all of them in a bus show
0:45 i actully like that one it the lights look like its got eyes and the front looks like its frowning
@MrSpandy61
Now in Dublin Bus they are finally getting rid of some 00 reg alx400's and giving some to Engsignbus
