Tally Ho!

[@BusesInDublin]

That double decker at 7:00 was new to Dublin Bus in Republic of Ireland as RA277

[@chrisbury4635]

I probably travelled on that white "Darwen" minibus back in late 80's when it was in a different livery, and back in around 2004/2005 I worked for Arriva near Chester as a bus driver so a few of those buses are familiar models, W reg is around 1999-2000 ish 😊

[@highperformancepathway-kye8819]

2:47 that is indeed a stagecoach bus, and it is also a very old make. Stagecoach run most of their buses in the south and south east so you might not of heard of them before

[@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt]

Cool and yeah we did have stagecoach up here m8.

[@dillo222]

First decker you went on was new to Dublin bus as RA277 Volvo Olympian sad to see it end up that way,probly holds so many memories🙂

[@reebsa7445]

I was trying myself to see what RA it was, I couldn’t see it anywhere on the bus tho,.

[@img00]

Yea ex Dublin Bus for sure (from Dublin myself). You can tell by the interior colour scheme and also there's a bit of blue paint around the left indicator housing which would have been the original colour

[@maltapope]

That first double decker you got on at 05:07 is ex Dublin Bus. There's even an old sign inside, just above where thre luggage storage area is. They were introduced new around 1990. There's a chance that it was imported into thre UK by Ensign Bus of Purfleet, Essex and sold on. Alexander bodies on Leyland Olympian's, I stand to be corrected.

[@MRPAD744]

that bus was was fleet type RA/RV which came into service in 1994 to 1999.the ones that came into service in 1990 fleet type RH -had round headlights.

[@clareriley]

If the green an cream bus at 20 minutes is a manchester based one its the walls coaches salford and wilmslow road line. Leyland busses are also green and cream. They have all the green and creams in the bus museum. x

[@Buses_trainsdevon]

2:15 Stagecoach

[@garywarnock8097]

I believe the green and cream buses once belonged to Mckindless bus company that I worked for that had depots in glasgow and wishaw but went out of business in 2010....they were painted exactly the same and had the red "we give change" on the windscreen

[@loganmorrow1210]

Thought it was an old JMB Travel one but now that you said Mckindless I think you are correct

The Bus at 9:56 is a Leyland Olympian you can tell it's a Leyland by the steering wheel

[@derrickcuff9817]

Yes I used to work for First Devon and Cornwall, that came from Bristol I think as it's a S reg Dennis Dart. Bring back memories seeing my old buses

[@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt]

Cool I'm glad you found a bit of nostalgia in our film then pal.

[@tr_nt.]

11:11 That bus appears to be a Leyland Olympian. It would have been built in the late 80s - early 90s.

[@Mr_Spliffy]

Yeah that's the one from my days

[@Buses_trainsdevon]

11:10 1981 leyland Olympian

[@Salfordchappy]

Brilliant this clarky, remember making the noise of the clipper card machine and walking on so I could save me numbers on me clipper card lol brilliant r kid

[@2271graham]

Whereabouts is this yard as we could use the seat frames from the Leyland Olympian to fit to our our preserved bus, which is currently seatless.

[@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt]

It's in Platt Bridge Wigan m8 but I don't know who you'd get in touch with?

Great video Clarky i remember riding some of those buses in the 1970's before we moved to Canada in 1978 . keep up the great work mate i am from Whitefield in Bury if you know area mate.

[@christopherrichards7486]

It's a Stagecoach bus we had them here in New Zealand

[@clareriley]

Lovely explore. I think this is the scrap yard for parts for the Manchester Bus and transport museum to get true manchester buses working for the museum. I know council dont own it, its private owned. Those there wont have any engines and many will be missing wheels etc. They will use all the same vehicles from across the Uk for inner parts for the Manchester ones. The museum is a good place to go. Im glad I have found an explorer from my era where it was 32p... do you remember the little square yellow tickets? Smoking un busses at the back behind perspex haha. Oh and the museum has some busses you can actually go on. Really good themed museum.

[@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt]

Mint and yeah man the best era that was m8 I wouldn't change it for nothing man. Yh a ks for watching and for all the wonderful comments I appreciate it a lot m8.

[@qrphfradio7753]

I remember back when I was a lot younger when it was 2p for under 16’s, the open back buses with the grab pole in the middle and a conductor .It was selnec busses for Manchester are, they were painted white/beige and orange

Oh brilliant thanks for the history m8 no way is it 1982 that is quality that is thanks for watching and commenting dude!

[@callumdelaney7884]

The two green and cream buses are both from JMB travel in north Lanarkshire Scotland the one with tartan seats is ex Lothian dart Y186 had new seats put in it for its return to service in 2012 after its was pulled of storage and stayed in use I believe with Lothian until 2014 when new hybrids came and replaced it and then was withdrawn again and sold to JMB travel were it spent it final working years before being sold for scrap

[@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt]

Cool thanks for the history m8.

[@lewisburke1341]

Yeah Y186 CFS was new to Lothian and got sold to JMB in 2014

[@raginstripe9938]

W reg is 2000 and is that a volvo B10BLE?

[@WyeExplorer]

That was a cool tour clarky. I've had some wild times on the buses - pissed up and stoned. Once in Liverpool it would be the happy bus into the heights at Neatherly. And when doing the raves - well you know what the buses were like. The age of public transport - seems to be dyeing out. Thanks for sharing. Mark

[@KJPLAYZ]

14:38 It's about 1998 I think

[@pacerchaser9434]

W at the end of the registration was 1980, I suspect the bus in the video had W at the start of the registration number, making it from 2000. Also the "Security TV" notice inside the Olympian was from East Yorkshire. It was new to London, then worked for EY before being sold to Pilkingtons. Top video!!

[@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt]

Cheers martin

[@LancashireBob]

So the Pilkington bus I drove many times. They are still based in Accrington and still operating. Your fuel gauge is actually a temperature gauge. It's a Leyland Olympian from the 90s. Good Bus that just became not viable to repair. There are still plenty of Olympians in service today.

[@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt]

Yeah I could see it properly m8 cam was close head wasn’t lol thanks for the history dude!

[@LancashireBob]

@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt All of the vehicles you filmed are coming out of service pretty much as they are old with literally millions of miles on them. Plus with the disability access needed nowadays all the companies are upgrading their fleets. If you bought an old double decker cheap they convert into a great motor home. In fact Pilkington sold a couple just for that exact purpose. I spent 30 years on the buses from the early 80s so have driven all the models in that yard. Some were good some were terrible. Interesting to see some of the old uns. Great video very interesting

[@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt]

Thanks bobs and yeah I saw a film of a converted double decker and woyuld love to do spomething like that myself one day!

[@paulc9588]

Another great job guys. I reckon these buses have been/are being stripped for reusable parts, e.g. engines, gearboxes and other mainly mechanical components. There is a lot of GRP and glass used in the bodies so the scrap value of these probably isn't that great. What remains is left rotting away until someone eventually decides to dispose of them. The double decker at ~9.00-11.00 with the funky brown seats could be a 1980s/early 1990s Leyland Olympian. Not certain, but it looks like one. These were popular buses back in the day and I think the last bus model built by Leyland. Cheers again.

[@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt]

Cheers Paul mmuch appreciated pal and yeah I think your right about the Leyland m8.

OK, time to be a sad old git. I drove most of the models of buses you show here. Leylands, Dennis, Mercedes and Volvos. And the gauge you showed wasn`t the fuel gauge, it was the gearbox retarder temperature gauge on a Leyland Olympian. I loved driving the vehicles. It was stopping to pick up passengers that really spoilt the job.
