Yeah there are loads of old buses on the market, i was oblivious to it until last year when a mate picked up a volvo Olympian for for about £6k, whats even more crazy like with trains there are bus spotters, i found pictures and history of my mates bus from when dublin bus purchased it when it was exported to england and every other company it went to until my mate got it and now its a pub, about 30 years worth of history I reckon it was the top gear boys that made people thing "that could work" lol
@@upsidedown4155 The white double decker with the green roof in this video looks like an ex dublin bus Volvo Olympian to. Glad to hear your mates one survives 👍
@@tamazildjian222 yeah its deffo a volvo olympian, i must admit took me a few minutes to work out you have to press the brake at the same time as engaging drive for the thing to engage, what surprised me was volvo but i think it was on the gearbox there was a cast brand mark... skoda emblem lol
Never seen this type of racing anywhere and it's bloodie great.. not tv or advertising etc.. but one or two people with their phones to bring it to the world! Cheers!
Built like tanks them ALX 400's. I had a car crash into the back of one at 40mph whilst i was stationary at a bus stop - the car was obliterated however my bus suffered no damage except for a small dent in the rear bumper.
@@DJAJXKP I live in the Wirral area in Merseyside and we used to have a few of these same ALX400 busses about 8 years ago.... which Arriva added to its fleet of busses. They were all from late 2001/early 2002 and registered on a 51 plate. I only ever got on one of these ALX 400 busses to pick up my car from its MOT station and it felt solid compared to the 1995/1996 N plate Volvo Alexanda bodied double decker Olympian buses we had here most of the time which looked great. The only thing I noticed was the engine in the ALX 400 vibrated like a Kango road digger ! whilst the bus was stationary.... I think most probably the engine tick over was set too low in order to save fuel ! but if not, then I do not recommend sitting at the back of one of these ALX400'S !!! as you will be shaken to death !!! Thanks for the upload, I enjoyed watching all these busses in action even if they were behaving badly and getting totally wrecked lol

Interesting how those "newer" red ones are in this - there's at least one late build Dart SLF / Pointer 2 built under Alexander Dennis on a 55 plate (I thought I could hear the 3.9-litre 4-cylinder 16-valve common-rail-injected turbo-Diesel engine) and the long red one I think is a Mk1 Enviro300 (albeit with what look like Pointer 2 front lights swapped in) - I feel old :P
I wonder was that Volvo Olympian or the Volvo B7TL ex Dublin Bus . We sell our buses on after 13 years service . A lot were went to the uk to see out thier final days
45 years ago we had two school bus drivers, one we called "brake king", the other "curve's devil". The brake king allways was braking down the bus so brutally that we flew around. Curve devil took the curves with touching the sidewalk's edges and ... we flew around. We had a lot of fun, the buses didn't too 😀.
Would be more fun if they raced these buses without any modifications and add some of the bigger buses like the Hong Kong E500s, really want to see how different buses perform on the racetrack when completely stock
Never have I ever seen something so magnificent! I see busses in a whole new way after this. The kids are absolutely loving this lol.. What a story to tell on a school bus.
This is such fun well done,I subscribe to having fun and also to your channel because it’s simply FUN 😂😂 I just wish I could have drive one of those buses
@@crushingvanessa3277 No they will all go back to Barnsley to be smashed and pulled apart by the wrecking claw and the debris fed through the shredder.
This looks like busses on the 192 route from Manchester to stockport as the bus drivers as some of the bus drivers are lead foots and it's a very busy road and trying to cross it you take your life in your hands!!!😎
How to use retired buses UK: Destruction derby HK: Donate them to schools. There are 17 Trident 3s and 21 Volvo B10TLs being donated to schools by KMB, the largest bus operator.
Ill be honest some of these are retro classics now, I think I spot an ALX400, Olympian/Fleetline and a pair of darts, kinda rare nowadays Im a bus enthusiast, sorry 😅😅
Could you imagine driving to the track before the Derby and pulling into a bus stop picking up passengers and dropping them off at the track? Probably confuse them because they only wanted to go the supermarket..😳
Esto si es espectáculo y no la mierda de la formula uno las motos el fútbol y etc etc etc por cierto observo que algún autobús no es tan antiguo y deduzco que a estado prestando servicio asta no hace mucho un saludo desde España.

He was, it was his 2nd bus destruction derby event.
Didn't even know you could buy old buses to take to a banger track. Didn't even know they did banger racing with buses!
I only found out about it a few years ago - it seems to be a once every 2 year event at Buxton Raceway.

All the buses used in the video had already had there fate sealed for scrapping.
No e300s in this, 1 B10BLE, 1 TRIDENT, 1 OLYMPIAN, 3 darts and I think a volvo b10m plaxton coach
Double-deckers look like fun
Very fun indeed. :D
This looks a fun way to see off and prep old buses for scrap, but what a way to do it, lol 🤪😏👍
indeed, it was a great spectacle
Well this video brightened up my 2 year old’s morning 😁
I've been here before as a spectator and a kid who competed in a race gave me the winners trophy and I still have it
This is great. I love bus destruction!
Hi I'm your 700th sub bro keep it up
I wonder was that Volvo
Olympian or the Volvo B7TL ex Dublin Bus . We sell our buses on after 13 years service . A lot were went to the uk to see out thier final days
Funny, that could be any normal day in Belfast for Translink ;)
I very much agree. Some drivers very well thrash the old ALX400 sometimes.
Lovely bus race
Which route were the olympian and trident serving??? Cross Harbour Route 101?111?Or 116?
cross country - town to race track. :D
just been seen this today up at buxton, saw several drivers from this video. had an ace time!
Reminds me of some of the antics I witnessed in the early days of deregulation ! No names mentioned to protect the innocent !
Bit windy was it?
45 years ago we had two school bus drivers, one we called "brake king", the other "curve's devil". The brake king allways was braking down the bus so brutally that we flew around. Curve devil took the curves with touching the sidewalk's edges and ... we flew around. We had a lot of fun, the buses didn't too 😀.
i remember we had some great driver when i was younger, (great for us, but not for the bus) fast, full throttle drivers.
What if someone was inside that RV trailer?
Great video footage. Thanks for uploading. I'm thinking of going to Buxton Raceway next year and get to few meetings there.

Most mirrors have already been taken off!!!😂😂😂
Why is the Old buses got withdrawn in 2008 and 1999 and 2018 and 2019
For HK, the competitors can be these:
1. Dennis Trident 3 12m (KMB/CTB)
2. Enviro 500 (1st generation) 12m (KMB)
3. Volvo B10TL 10.6m (KMB)
4. Volvo B10TL 12m (KMB/CTB)
5. Man NL273 (NLB)
6. Man 18.310 (NLB)
Fantasic knowledge Thanks for that 👍...there was a debate...lol
Proving Withdrawn Buses are better than buses in use, fast & flawless, alot in use for service are knackered & need going.
Shut up...
This looks great I’d love to have a go
It was a great event to watch, would be even better to drive though.
DD is a bit different when you’ve not got any cage or front end protection...
I was thinking it was a bit tame.
No doubt. This made my day. 😂👌
BRO. YES. 😲❤
looks like great fun id love to give this go but have the bus full of passengers 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's like watching rush hour rivalry between Lothian buses and firstbus West Lothian along prince's Street!!
This 🤣🤣
Everyone gangsta till the bus tokyo drifts in 0:07

It was fun to watch, would be even more fun to drive.
I thought the bus at 0:08 was drifting like a pro, but it was actually because the other bus pushing it. That's sad.
I thought the same thing
Are they alive and they are ok
Wait a minute why is there a London bus there?
Imagine sitting upstairs
Now, that would be fun
This is Top Gear all over again.
The more the better! :D
Was this started because of top gear when Hammond done this?
This is a regular event at Buxton.
And the last surviving bus gets a complete re build and goes back into revenue earning service !
I was going to say the same thing. Would be ironic if it was rebuilt and made a show piece.
Not if it's First Bus it won't. They might put the glass back in and tape the missing panels back on but otherwise job's a good'un!
@@crushingvanessa3277 No they will all go back to Barnsley to be smashed and pulled apart by the wrecking claw and the debris fed through the shredder.
The ALX 400s are my favourites
Honestly I was kinda hoping to see a double decker bus tip over like in that one Top Gear episode with bus racing :P
I think the top gear topple was staged to tip. :D
i want to do that. i would drive the olympion or the ALX 400
B
That caravan was an easy target 😆😆😆😆
Who doesn't love to see a caravan smashed to pieces. :D :D
This explains why the bus still hasn’t turned up
After the derby. "You bus drivers gotta pay for that damage" lol
lol, what me? does the insurance not cover a destruction derby?.... hahaha
Pure insanity.
Public Bus drivers: *Drive like chauffers in a Rolls-Royce*
School Bus drivers: 'Lewis Hamliton- where are you? Beat me in this bus'
hahaha
Better than F1, at least something interesting to see here!
I agree too, better than F1!
I was really hoping one of the double deckers would fall over, especially when the Trident rams the Olympian off the track at 9:20.
I think they are built to not tip over
Buses are perfect for this because they're mostly rear engined!
How comes I’m only finding out about this now 😭
This race is like a real bus driver day in São Paulo,Brazil...LOL
“Meanwhile in London...”
At least two of those were '55 plates (SN55 HKM and SN55 HKZ). Considerably newer than the buses we have around our way !!!
also newer than some of the local buses we have in our area.
The Arriva 500 dose not move that fast on a Sunday. This is how a bus service should be
Return Pls!, if possible?
A race where your rear is most vournable
I know the drivers are at the front with no Bonnet, but not enough destruction for my liking
where
Buxton Raceway, Buxton, England.
There's a bus with a massive void where an engine should be and somehow it's still going.

Should have spiced it up a bit with passengers.
Fill it with schoolkids and the elderly. The former will love it and the latter will complain.
Get me on one of them as a passenger 😂
me too... although you (the visitors) were allowed to ride on the buses before the event began around the track
