It's Driving With Doors Closing

When will you film another video.

I miss the happy trains :(

What is this ? empty buses going to some festival?? Is this another scam by wealthy event organisers to shuttle empty buses around at the tax payers expense?? government subsidised bus trips for gap year bimbos and toffy nosed rent boys!!

They should fix the lights to stop the cars so the buses don't need to slow down.

Is it just me or does she sound like an alx 400

Nice snow scene. I thought it said Barrow Hill for a moment, there is a nice train yard at Barrow Hill if trains interest you.

it's 2024 now, and a lot has changes to the guided busway... 915 was withdrawn, and 904 has been shortened to Huntingdon. only 2 initial B7RLEs are still servicing the busway, and the other ones are moved to Stagecoach East Midlands or transferred to serve the 904 only. The "greener smarter travel' livery is almost gone now (one left in Scotland), and there are only 2 old busway liveries still in service in local routes. (the other ones are repainted to local) route 5 9:16 and 5A joined the busway series, and the U has broken out to U1 and U2. Whuppet Coaches aot a bunch of Mellor Sigma 12 EVs to replace the Eclipse 2/3s.

Drivers glad it’s the weekend coming up!

why is pr4 going from downing street shouldnt it be going from drummer street?

Great Northern (Govia Thameslink Railway) are now looking into using the Class 379s to replace some of the Class 387/1s which are to be sent down to Southern.

Can see why so much quicker in a car coz then you can use the 'old A14' instead of the horrible back-roads tedium. But buses have to take circuitous routes to maximise passengers which is why they are always on slow tedious routes. Odd lack of potholes. There's an epidemic of them on these back-roads these days.

15:20. You would think that as a bus approaches the lights would turn red to stop the traffic and let the bus carry on through at speed rather than slow down.

Nice video

12:40 Blimey the driver likes sitting on top of those cyclists don't they!!!!!

So. Slow.

But, how does this work?!

There is still one scania Enviro 400 on the busway, but i can't remember the registration. Also, i liked the paris joke😂!

Fantastic video. I regularly use the busway between St Ives and Cambridge. It’s generally a decent service, however any chance of it keeping to the timetable during peak times is a complete fantasy thanks to the choking traffic in Cambridge city centre. Particularly on Hills Road northbound after the rail station up to the ring road, which you showed in this video. It’s common to sit in complete gridlock here for 15+ minutes in the evening rush. Also worth noting is that the southern section of busway between Addenbrooke’s and the rail station is currently (2023) only in use southbound, with the northbound side fenced off and rather overgrown now, due to fatal collisions between buses and cyclists. This also affects timekeeping for services heading north out of Addenbrooke’s as buses regularly get stuck in a jam around the Long Road / Hills Road junction.

Gone to LongSutton

what a contentious idea. many parts of it are perfect to just be rails. Those long stretches of gentle curves being in spec for trams to run at high speeds. But I also see spots where the bus route was routed around existing development- the bridge in the first part and sharp upwards turn would be a pain for a tram to navigate. I feel there could have been a way to navigate the old town given they found a spot for a bus only lane- but I can understand the want not to put rails in. There are certain advantages to this that are understandable- simplifying maintainence- concrete to repair the guideway can just be stocked more of. Parts from buses can be reused for the guideway or regular bus service. I need to see the annual maintenance and fuel costs on this.

Basically exactly the same as the one in Adelaide South Australia

I have been looking for 14033 and 14034 for about 6 weeks and not managed to see those 2 yet, so far

Great video

Nice Footage

Great video numbers run from 86001 to 86030

Being from the US, I stumbled upon this video after hearing about "car traps" and now knowing what they (or guided buses) were. Now I'm curious, since it wasn't mentioned in this video: do the drivers still have to steer when on the guided portions of the busway or do the guidewheels and sides of the "track" manage to do that?

Be ideal to continue operating from Luton Airport to Dunstable and Milton Keynes via Luton Airport Parkway, Luton Town Centre and using the guided busway.

These are one of best Fusion buses they built as its a very shame these are gone now, Great Journey :)

Honestly they aren’t bad, only complaint is heating/fans

How long till they catch fire ? Well done to the slaves

fantastico 😂 ...our company reduce the miles at spurbus due to it's lenkzeit no privileg ( Holly , Paige Y , Emiliy , Emma-Louise , Elena and hundrets more " i like your university cambridge !" ) i feel free to reapeat our ex-chancelor Dr.H. Kohl ... you can say you to me 😅

The MMC's are due to transfer to Bedford and Peterborough once all the new Volvo BZL's are in service

Love it ❤

I’ve seen them all around Cambridge, but sadly I haven’t rood One yet?

I maybe a pessismist when it comes to all this new fuel stuff but despite this, I'm really impressed by the Volvo BZLs and 7900 (waiting to get a ride on each) design both bodywork, chassis and interior! There's still a chance I could my opinion yet! 🤣I wonder what the odds are of sales at ADL being beat by their competitors in this new era of buses?

Nice Video!

Nice Journey :)

good video

On a reconnu la 9 :)

I am hoping to take a ride on the Luton DART in the summer.

Great video! I had my first trip on the DART yesterday. I've subscribed!

pacers

Nice Journey :)

Should be made into a road 😢

I do not understand the traffic lights on the guided busway. Surely the bus should be prioritised, and the road traffic automatically stopped as the bus approaches the junction?

5:40 you never know until you try, lol...

Great video. ☺️

bus driving in peterborugh so amazing and helpful and happy and kind love from chelsea xxxx😘😘💛💛

Most bizarre idea I’ve ever known. Could’ve upgraded the existing former rail line to a tram line (like Bury to Manchester for example), built a tramway around Cambridge and then electrified it. Instead they spent obscene amounts on ripping rail out for plain concrete used by inefficient buses! Not to mention it could’ve paved the way to reinventing a more direct freight route from the port of Felixstowe to the midlands.
