Those are Enviro400Hs, and apparently first is throwing away all of them cuz they can’t get them fixed. Although I’m not sure if that’s the buses being too much of a pain to fix or just first being sh*t at fixing in general.
Makes you think, in 1979, National Welsh were still running 1950s and 1960s Bristol Lodekkas and MWs. Sad to see buses in such a state. Is Jack Dunsmore still trading?
It was weird seeing 43874 there. I’m from Cornwall and remember these buses being used on the then 47 route which ran through my village but is now run by Transport for Cornwall (Go Cornwall) and has since changed to 40.
Driven pretty much most of these hybrids when I was at scotstoun before I transferred to dumbarton, tbh not the worst buses to drive and were flying machines off the mark, you just didn't touch the breaks or you'd end up through the windscreen due to the engine breaking from the motors at the back😂😂
Good video but yeah as you said those hybrids had to be unreliable or the company couldn't afford to replace the batteries/diesel conversion etc so it's scrapped, electric buses would probably suffer from the same problems in time anyway
These buses are not old, a shocking waste scrapping them. Not that long ago here in London buses over 20 and even 30 years old were a common sight in service. Now London has joined the throw away bus era.

It's unfortunate that we waste a lot of things in the UK. These buses that are not considered as scarp will gladly be accepted by many countries around the world to help their public transport system. These buses just need regular serving and maintenance and they will go forever.
I'm very concerned about ADL Enviro 400's (the non-mmc ones) like why did the First Bus company have sold them in fairly young age of ecsploatation to scrap-yard more likely than these older B9TL's Geminis which are still regular to catch on several routes. The Enviro 400's were very useful for the route 6, today there's only like 10 of them left in Glasgow
Just went on a first glasgow gemini yesterday and go on optare solos sometimes (every friday but sometimes a soloSR so thats why i said only sometimes) sad to see them getting scrapped 😢
Most small bus companies do buy off scrap yards for parts which may cost a fortune to buy first hand I'm talking about independent bus companies not the big companies like Go a head and first and Stagecoach
- just like the lothian E40Hs, withdrawn for unreliability as the engine in them is pish - Campbell's are processors, not scrappers, they remove engines for resale/spare parts/and other valuable parts then sell the rest for scrap to someone else. Also known as "recyclers" for some reason - 67778 is first-owned but got a mcgill's fleet number for, reasons.
Why have the later ex First Scotland East Enviro 300's gone to the scrapyard? There's fewer seats on the McGills Enviro 200's than there were on the ex First Scotland East Enviro 300's. And the seats were comfortable too.
These modern buses could be repaired and sold on to indipendent operators , small operators are stuggling to survive as they after go into debt as they are forced to buy new

Very correct. I made a similar comment in the comments section. We have such a waste culture in the UK. Many countries around the world will gladly accept these buses for their transport system.
@@chriseseigbe9768 Someone could even use it as a garden shed or convert it to cheap accommodation. That is how Manchester Corporation Tramways 765 survived before someone realised it was the only one of it's kind left and restored it, if it hadn't been for someone repurposing it in the first place then that particular design of tramcar would be long lost.
Its very heartbreaking to see all these very nice buses just being scrapped when they could have been given to a community or a smaller bus operator
I wouldn't care if the bus is broken if it works then get it cheap fix it up
They still look modern
Such a waste culture in the UK. I totally agree that these buses are still modern.
2011, so yea they're quite modern, waste of buses
there is some on there like 67778 which most likely were set on fire but I agree

E400Hs can have a diesel convert tho so why scrap them when you can convert them to diesel

The last bus used to be at blantyre. Sometimes used to drive it on the 266. Great wee bus.
Surprised to see so many Enviro Double Decker Buses scrapped in the West Of England we have loads of them still 12 plates and 14 plates in Bath
Sad that they’re getting scrapped, the Buses aren’t even that old.
i cant get over the amount of useable fittings ie; destination boards
Got any videos with them using a claw crane to smash the buses apart ready for shredding. That's my favourite part 🎉❤
At this yard they just take out the engines and gearbox’s they don’t deal with the body’s that get sent to another yard
@@buses3159 Thank you for the information. Excellent video!

They look in good condition, why scrap them, What a waste of Public Money, Stephen.
They’re privately owned, and it’s probably engine fault or rust that’s the reason.
Nice tour
Thanks
@@buses3159 no problem!
It's a shame to see these cool old buses in scrap yard from Glasgow. They were good and I liked them: Volvo B7L/B7TL and ADL Enviro 😔
Is it all greater Manchester bus?
Just went on a first glasgow gemini yesterday and go on optare solos sometimes (every friday but sometimes a soloSR so thats why i said only sometimes) sad to see them getting scrapped 😢

Hi, where is this scrap yard? Shame to see so many buses there so early.
It’s in Renton just up from Dumbarton
How would I contact them to ask for a walk around to see theese buses ( I was on 67778 when it went on fire) and would like to see it in person
Normally I just show up as long as you have a hi viz and steel toe cap boots you should be fine
0:16 EVEN ENVIRO400s R RETIRING?! HONG KONG’S ENVIRO400 HAS NOT BEEN RETIRED YET!
- just like the lothian E40Hs, withdrawn for unreliability as the engine in them is pish

That’s incorrect the Lothian ones were retro fitted with Cummins engines and were withdrawn due to not being standard in there fleet
@@buses3159 doesn't change the fact it is still pish
@@buses3159 What engines did First's have? I thought they were all Cummins 4.5s
Why have the later ex First Scotland East Enviro 300's gone to the scrapyard?
There's fewer seats on the McGills Enviro 200's than there were on the ex First Scotland East Enviro 300's. And the seats were comfortable too.
Do u know if the enviro 300 is still there ?
Nah that is gone now
I am so annoyed, the old routemaster’s literally lasted for 50 years and there still in garages!
I wish I would Make anther volvo b7rle wright eclipse
I was told they were still owned by first and there going back to first apparently so i couldn't get parts
A shame about all those leather seats.
bit of a waste to scrap them perfectly usable looking E400Hs
Can you send an address for this place?
These modern buses could be repaired and sold on to indipendent operators , small operators are stuggling to survive as they after go into debt as they are forced to buy new
Is there a reason why the envrio 400s were in scrap
There E400Hs so very unreliable
The that you couldn’t make out it’s from Inverclyde

Why are these buses being scrapped. Id love to own one, whether its capable of being driven on the road or not. Auction them first, scrap them later
Why all those new buses scrapped, huh??!! 😧💔
Some are to old for service and some are just unreliable

Never thought I was my mic must have just not picked it up well
Kinda sad to watch, has to be said.

Wish bendy buses were brought back
Yeah, astounds me how young buses are whdn they're scrapped these days! Surely 3rd world countries could run them for years more!
