Some fabulous buses and coaches. And some long gone liveries and operators too.

I don't miss those Eager Beavers though. Woe be tide ya if you were on the back seat of those things and you didn't hold on to the handrail in front! Especially going over a bump in the road, nevermind Speed bumps!😡😉 Used to fly about a foot an' half off the seat if you didn't! 🤭😉🤣

Is it just me, or do you find yourselves dipping into these videos every time there's another nightmarish revision of the bus services?? September 2024 for example. That person who had a quick chat with Tory MP Irvine Patnick and asked "You've privatised everything else, why don't you privatise the buses?", has got a lot to answer for! 🤬😡🤭

It is a pity none of the articulated 'bendibuses' from the 1989-90 period were caught on film.

so since the late eighties they were dedicated to capturing the view of busses as they pass by ; how very boring !

I am really amazed at seeing the showroom cases of all those buses the amount time and the hell designs of all they were of it's great watching that ❤😊 that's the best watched now I've seen never forget😊
Here in East Surrey my 410 route has been taken over by Stagecoach after a long service by Southdown PSV which gave a good a service on these shortened routes. Leave the first car at home .. I did and wasted a whole morning as the first bus took the wrong route and by-passed my stop the next bus crawled at walking pass up hills. Having arrived at Redhill I completed my business and set of for the bus Home, nothing turned up, this is a half hourly service so I wait only to hear the bus has broken down. SO I WAIT. Never again for what was a bus service to be trashed with replaced broken buses and the good ones moved elsewhere, I grew up with LT green buses that travel miles linking with London and Green Line that took you over most of the Southeast and Home Counties. Travel to London first class on Green Line. It's gone and a broken service

I remember the far reaches of London Transport and Green Line services. The break up of LT has left us with a mess that now is being swollowed up by Stagecoach under so many different names. Here in Surrey our great LT buses gone and we now have a useless service of no point under Stagecoach.

19:46 Ahh the bendy buses on the 1 Holt Park - Beeston route. Used to love these as they used to take me up to school and back everyday. On late evenings the 1 used to extend to cottingley

Shame no former Gillingham bus station that was filmed. I can find little to no video on it since it got overshadowed by Chatham when it opened in 1970 with the pentagon until Gillingham bus station closed probably by the time arriva took over as you prob would know the area is just part of the depot and typically has Enviro 400/MMCs parked where the stands used to be.

Cor, dear me, almost all of the buses coming out of Shanklin 'bus station' here, don't go to those destinations anymore, all go to bloody Newport, where you then have to change to another route, if you are lucky. Happy days.

Great videos, but I have to say Oxfordshire isn't "South Midlands", it's part of the South East, or more geographically just South of England. Only maybe Banbury could possibly be included in the Midlands, although officially it's not. Oxford though is on the same longitude as St Albans and Chelmsford, and Abingdon is about level with Watford, so definitely not Midlands in any way. Great videos though.
