Interesting and varied mix of bus types, liveries and operators! Great video!

[@astock5000]

Thanks!

[@TVRBCS]

Nice Video! Sad To See Route 320 Gone And The Enviro400MMC Being Transferred to Luton For Route 321.

[@astock5000]

Thanks! And yeah, though as I understand it at least some of the MMCs are moving to Kent, while six of Hemel's B7RLEs moved to Luton to cover the 321's extension.

Here in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, Wales, The Train Station is a little bit out of town, the Buses run irregularly to and from the Railway Station depending on what service you want when the trains are supposedly running. I've taken a Coach from Carmarthen to Haverfordwest a few times on Rail Replacement Services, And they're rubbish, takes forever for the People that staff the small Stations here in West Wales to do anything, but the Coaches themselves have been Awesome. Good on Intalink and Hertfordshire County Council for having lots of vehicles to carry out the journeys, whey better than here, even if it is all the way up to Milton Keynes. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂.

Metropolitan line in the London underground comes to Watford

[@astock5000]

Indeed, over on the other side of the town though.

I'm not from London, heck not even from United Kingdom, but I can only say one thing. That Gemini 2 looks weird in Harry Potter

[@astock5000]

Having seen those regularly for 10 years or so I'm very much used to them but yeah, it's far from a typical bus livery!

Arriva The Shires or Arriva Herts & Essex?

[@astock5000]

Not entirely sure what you're asking tbh? But yes, the history of Arriva's fleets in the northern home counties is rather complicated at this point, with the public sub brands not always matching. Shires is referred to online as Beds & Bucks these days, but comes under the same management as Midlands, while Herts & Essex is the name used for the northern part of Southern Counties, and not to be confused with the old East Herts & Essex Ltd (one of the companies which, as the successor to County, formed part of the old Shires & Essex)...
