Which vehicle do you reckon will take over as the safety bus once 2412 goes?
@BusandtrainspotterNI2411Күн бұрын
My guess personally 1 of the GB kites electritroliner
@BristolB9TLProductionsКүн бұрын
@ yeah, either that or it might be a Wright GB Hawk
@NorthernIrishBusVideosКүн бұрын
The more likely option would be something older, such as an Eclipse 2.

I don’t think it would be an Enviro300 or Rural. Some of these buses are turning 17 towards the end of 2025 and this time next year (god I feel so old)

Those bollards look like they're in the wrong place for stands 1-3. They even botched the placement of the kerbs going by the square of tarmac used to bring stand 1 to the bus' door, although what they look to be trying to solve there was also needed for stand 2 as well. Everyone getting off a bus there will be stepping to ground level then up the kerb, so I hope buses there never need a wheelchair user or other mobility restricted person to board or get off. When I saw somewhere that this place was to be opened 2025, I thought about how a larger infrastructure project could possibly have been finished on time. It of course wasn't long before seeing it was too good to be true with these mistakes in construction here and hearing that they want to demolish a perfectly good bridge as well in another video I watched just before this one, which offers the potential for a grade separated pedestrian crossing, which is the optimal for pedestrian safety, especially if expecting to deal with large numbers of pedestrians, which I'd presume they are expecting when building this station this size, but I guess 'future proofing' was just developer's fluff to get funding for the size of this place and not an actual plan for the area, passenger/pedestrian numbers, etc (I'm pretty sure the Europa site has/had more seating for waiting passengers despite the lower capacity). With the issues Northern Ireland has from a huge number of former railways being closed and removed in the past from a lack of future planning, with many needing rebuilt from the ground up in these supposed plans to reconnect some of the rest of the counties by rail again, you'd have thought they would have all the evidence they need to not remove useful infrastructure, like a bridge that could be used for a pedestrian crossing, but apparently not. Watch them get their way with demolishing the bridge now then in a few decades when the street is overwhelmed with pedestrians trying to cross it, apply for funding to build a bridge for them, or maybe need to resort to a pedestrian tunnel at even greater expense, as they won't have reserved the land from redevelopment for that particular area of 'future proofing'. Of course they could end up pedestrianising that road if there are too many incidents between pedestrians and road traffic, then they get to cause more traffic on the rest of the roads there that their buses use, and so reducing their efficiency in the process, giving passengers more reason for the seating they didn't include as they need to wait for buses stuck in traffic. Yeah, this project is the same as all the rest after all.
