You're quite right - even more interestingly, it actually carried 31136 when it first arrived in Bristol, and the native WR03 batch (32279-92) were also delivered and entered service with fleetnumbers in the 31--- sequence

No

@@bristoltransport Oh

I drove this it was on the 88 and 89 great buses

It’s not that bad. 66720 at Wells and 66937 at Bath are much worse But it’s still fucked regardless

Yes a great shame that, along with the Scanias

@@bristoltransport Is it actually confirmed what exact buses burnt other than this, YN57FXJ and BU54AJP

@@londonbusexplorer I have heard that SN04 CPE and 816 SHW may be written off but it's not confirmed yet

@@londonbusexplorer Just confirmed that 816 SHW had been destroyed

@@bristoltransport Oops not too good then, I wanna know about the Spectras tbh

Class43hst ChannelUk Sadly now gone, but a number found new homes. One was for sale recently in fact

Craig Z List Bet they looked fantastic in original livery. I'd love to see one back in those colours one day

TopGearDog It's certainly not the worst shuffle! I do like the downgraded First class even though the seats aren't that great

Bristol Transport I guess you can't complain much, at least you don't have a class 230.

HMSDaring1 Personally, I don't like the Turbos (not Turbostars - they're class 377 and the like), seats are uncomfortable, aircon is poor even when working, acceleration is poor (leading to many late running journeys) and they're far too big. They'd be better suited to Taunton or Wales work for example where the capacity is needed. Currently those workings are predominantly Sprinters and Super Sprinters

Dr who fan Certainly does sound good! This one has been with LH since new as well

Tyler Hamilton This bus alone has carried three different colour schemes within the space of a couple of months (Barbie, Urban II red front and now Urban II purple front)

Bristol Transport Also I am a big fan of buses and great video by the way

Tyler Hamilton Thanks very much :)

Dennis Trident Cheers, yeah it's mint, lovely bus. I think with refinement this is how I'll do most videos from now

DAF Man They've just transferred away from Bristol to Cornwall, not withdrawn finally

Oh Ok

that's a great video there mate especially seeing the class 150 working on its last days running on the line from Bristol before moving to the lines across cornwall

I love 150s

Mitchell Hurd It's certainly lost a fair bit over the years, certainly unusually sluggish for a Cummins L10 engined Olympian. There's a video of a Leyland one with an L10, CRZ 9320 from memory, on my channel, preformed very differently!

Mitchell Hurd it’s because drivers leave the bus in drive going up the hills. When the smarter ones stick it in 1 or 2 on the selector , it flies up

mad about bus 1066 Not yet no. Thursday I've been told

The Bristol Bus Preservation Group​ okay 👍 is it going to be saved 🤔

mad about bus 1066 It probably won't be saved, hardly worth the effort and cost

Bus Videos okay I hope it been saved 😊

Bus Videos Yeah I just heard the same. Which is the third B7?

Daniel Blixa Reed That must have been around 2000-2002 I would guess, thanks for sharing the memories :)

Max Ganesh Do you mean 62191/2 rather than 66191/2? And 62183 etc... BoS tend to have older vehicles as they make less profit than most other parts of First, so while other areas could afford new/newer cascaded buses, BoS upgraded the older ones. some other parts of First did this though, such as Manchester (they have X699 ADK still in use) and South Yorkshire I believe (W- DWXs, R7-- WKWs and R912 BOU still in use)

Swansea Bus Videos The L-reg one was revving higher than I thought they could!

The way the R reg one is started & rev'ed up, shows a lack of understanding for a Turbocharged Diesel, & lack of respect of the bus in general. As the industry would say "A good example of a BAD driver", even worse when you know the group that now own's her. I'd guess a lack of pride in the job, if it's a bus driver. The oil needs to circulate, including the turbo, and no need to rev that much, ideally let the air build up with the engine on tick over.

mad about bus 1066 ct plus is now operating on 506 511 512

She isn't no, she's mine. She deserves preservation so that's what she got!

Thanks for that Archie, didn't know which was the last actually.

+The Bristol Bus Preservation Group in 2005/6 I think it was.

Ah, thanks for that, I was wondering who owned her, she's an ex-Abus vehicle too. There is a step entrance with Abus that has a ZF gearbox, L124 ELJ. It was out on this day but I didn't get a go sadly.

R981 has been saved from scrap twice haha. The guy I bought it from had saved it from the scrap yard, however he was having issues with the company that he was storing it with as they were becoming increasingly awkward so I ended up buying it from him, because if I hadn't bought it then it would have went for scrap that day.
