Bristol VR buses in East Suffolk in 2000

First Eastern Counties Bristol VR buses in Ipswich, Woodbridge, Felixstowe and East Bergholt in 2000. Also Carters VR still in Cambus livery and some Hedingham VRs on school work in East Bergholt.

Thanks for sharing this. I left ECOC in 1986 and have not driven a VR since. Some of these buses I remember and have driven - certainly over most of these routes. Quite a nostalgia trip especially as I now live in the North of Scotland!

You're welcome, and I envy you now living in the North of Scotland! Your climate would suit me better than what I have down here. VR's were lovely buses to drive.

Nothing beats a VR.

[@BristolRE]

Agreed, VR and RE the best buses ever made

[@TheSimonhammond]

Where ever you live you always know when a Bristol VR is about from the sound they make.

[@BristolRE]

Yes, lovely buses

I honestly remembered the Bristol VR double decker buses 🚌. If old buses 🚍 exist on the roads, so what , there’s nothing wrong 😑 with them because they are very good 👍 to bus 🚌 passengers that they take people from place to place via place. I don’t hold any embarrassing 😳 🙈 grudges against these ancient buses 🚌 being on the roads and in fact is they do a good 👍 job for passengers. The bottom red lights 💡 💡 at the rear of the bus 🚌 are fog 🌫️ lights 💡 💡 . It’s a roof over the heads to keep people warm and well. The year 2000 is a very long time 🕰️ ago that happened is 24 previous years ago. Now it’s the year 2023. If I travel 🧭 🧳 on the Bristol VR double decker buses 🚌 again, so what, I don’t care 🤷‍♂️, I’m not complaining about it. The vintage buses 🚍 have the right to be on the roads comparing to the brand new buses 🚍. When buses 🚌 are new, it’s because they recently have arrived on the roads. The last time 🕰️ that the Bristol VR bus 🚎 was made is dated to perhaps 🤔 the year 1981 or 1982 is an old X reg. There were Bristol VR double decker buses 🚌 in north Devon in the southwest of England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 until around perhaps 🤔 the year 2001. It’s a long time 🕰️ ago. Bristol VR double decker buses 🚌 aren’t made anymore. Very trustworthy buses 🚌 in the world 🌍. Good 👍 buses 🚌. 👍👍👍👍👍
