Ah Shephall Express the company (I think feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) that bankrupted themselves because people barely used their buses and they spent most of their funds on the Optare Solo's. Was surprised they were still running in 2003 and even the old Stagecoach 191 (Looks like a Leyland Olympian) service I'd guess this was around the year the 191 was taken out of circulation in the Stevenage area. I'm also not sure when Arriva stopped using the Mercedes 709Ds (I don't recall seeing them in 2008 or 2009, only the 814Ds) Thank you for uploading this, it feels like going back in time and seeing the only slight changes to the area, alot of these buses have long gone with some such as the Volvo B10s being withdrawn as recent as mid 2017, some as early as 2013. It's always good to archive stuff like this, even though it's only in video form, it very interesting to see not only buses but any vehicle and what the area looked like back then. It's hard to believe it's nearly 20 years ago (I honestly thought there wasn't any archived footage of Stevenage from the early 2000s as I only found stuff from 2014 onwards)
