Brilliant video. There's a whole certain era of Translink in that yard, my personal favorite era too. I'll miss those ALX400's, I remember seeing 2956 sitting in GVS for absolutely ages and it's hard to believe I only travelled on 825 last year and now it's awaiting the crusher!

[@BusVideosNI]

Thanks. These vehicles certainly do mark one of the best eras of Northern Ireland's bus & coach fleet. It really was a shame seeing 825 get scrapped she was a very good runner the day we had her on the tour.

@@BusVideosNI 825 was a very good runner, would've thought they've sold it to a bus and coach dealer. I'm glad most of the ALX400's have sold on!

RIP to all these buses :(

@Busette Nice!

[@cha0tix03]

You’re welcome! I have a friend from high school who owns a Metro model of a B10BLE and various other bus models. I heard he now actually bought an old bus. It was an Ulsterbus Leyland Tiger N-Type.

Extended Bodies for Most of the Buses Much as I am not comfortable asking the depot why they stopped running the London Suburban Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Gardner 6LX and Gardner 6LXC Diesel Engine Olympian ECW’s on routes 30, 121, 230, 313, 271, 349, N279 And 158 why can’t we make the same make of the Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Gardner 6LX and Gardner 6LXC Diesel Engine Olympian ECW Buses but Modernise the insides of these Buses. Also, make it low floor up and down and also extend the middle body part of these vehicles a little bit more so there will be more space for the wheelchair users. By the way, if you could remake and Modernise these vehicles could they also make them into a Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Gardner 6LX and Gardner 6LXC Diesel Engine Olympian ECW Version that if it will be possible to Modernise the insides of these Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Gardner 6LX and Gardner 6LXC Diesel Engine Olympian ECW’s make it low floor up and down and also extend the middle body part of these vehicles a little bit more so there will be more space and even a London Suburban 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Scania N230UD Enviro 400 MMCs and 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Gardner 6LX Diesel engine Enviro 400 MMC’s and also extend the middle the body part of these vehicles a little bit more. Why couldn’t we have those London Suburban Buse's Pale red on the top roof Pale red again on the top middle Milk Chocolate brown on the middle Creamy white on the Bottom Middle and Milk Chocolate Brown again on the Bottom on most of those kinds of Particular Double Decker Vehicles? Could you put the Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox in the Scania N230UD Enviro 400 MMCs and also put the Loud 3-Speed Voith Diwa Gearbox in the Volvo TD102KF Engine East Lancs Olympus and also extend the middle body part of these vehicles a little bit more and also turn most of them to London Suburban Buses. By the way, could you also make the routes 313, 349, 230, 121, N279 and 271 into London Suburban Buses and have a mixture of a Loud 4-speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Scania N230UD Enviro 400 MMC and Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Gardner 6LX and Gardner 6LXC Diesel Engine Olympian ECW Versions. Could they also transfer the Arriva Bus Depots from Hackney to Stagecoach company so they can replace all the Arriva buses so that all of them can go to Birmingham and Leeds and they can be replaced by Stagecoach Loud 3-Speed Voith Diwa Gearbox Volvo TD102KF Engine East Lancs Olympus and also Extend the Middle body part of these Vehicles and that includes A Mixture of a Stagecoach Loud 3-Speed Voith Diwa Gearbox Volvo TD102KF, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 6LXCT Engine Northern Counties Palatine One and that Includes a Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Gardner 6LX Diesel engine Enviro 400 MMC’s and Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Scania N230UD Enviro 400 MMC Vehicles A Little Bit More? Can Arriva London Bus Company Replace Most of their Wight Buses so they can also transfer them to Birmingham and Also Manchester so they can be replaced by Loud 3-Speed ZF Ecomat Gearboxes Volvo D10A Engine East Lancs Olympus and also Extend the The middle body part of these Vehicles A Little Bit More Thank You Very Very Very Very Very Much. Oh by the way could the bus Factory Companies also Make More of Those Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Gardner 6LX and Gardner 6LXC Diesel engine Olympian ECW Vehicles And that also includes Those Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Cummins L10 Enviro 400 MMC And also Extend The middle Body part of those Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Gardner 6LX and Gardner 6LXC Diesel Engine Olympian ECW Vehicles and the Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Cummins L10 Enviro 400 MMC Vehicles and that also includes The Loud 3-Speed ZF Ecomat Gearboxes Volvo D10A Engine East Lancs Olympus A Little Bit More And Paint Those 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Cummins L10 Enviro 400 MMC Vehicles and also those Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Gardner 6LX and Gardner 6LXC Diesel engine Olympian ECW Vehicles and that also includes The Northern Counties Palatine One with a Volvo TD102KF, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 6LXCT Diesel engines with a Loud 3-Speed Voith Diwa Gearboxes and The Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Scania N230UD Enviro 400 MMC Vehicles and also The Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Gardner 6LX Diesel engine Enviro 400 MMC Vehicles to the Grey Green Colours Just Like The Other Original Scania Grey Green on the Bus Route 125, 173, 313 and the 103. If all of the 14 Leyland Titan B15s are Fully Red and even Mostly Red, could they also Repaint All of Those 14 Leyland Titan B15s into Grey Green Colours Just Like The Other Original Scania Grey Green on Bus Route 313 so they can Reuse them for Only Every Seven and a Half Months and also Reuse them on those Rail Replacement London Bus Routes if that will Be Alright for Only Just Every Seven and a Half Months, starting from the beginning of October and also Reuse Those Buses Only on the London Bus Routes which are 341, N41, 34, 123, N29, 149, 221, N73, 121, 86, 30, 262, 147, 396, 41, and N26 so Please make sure that the builders can do as they are told!!!!!!! And please do something about these Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Important Professional Ideas Please Pretty Prime Minister and also includes the Mayor of London.

8:30 was a Leyland Tiger. Probably a later early 1990s build with a Volvo our Cummins engine. The TL11 Leyland was dropped in the late 80s. These buses look too modern to scrap.

[@johnUB4478]

The Tiger was 1250, which had a TL11 engine in. I had a lovely trip on that

[@jamesfrench7299]

A shame they're known for having issues. They go beautifully. My local bus operator growing up had about 20 of them in Sydney.

[@simonmccloskey8999]

I have 817 license plate and great video also sad to see 817 my favourite solar and matthew what alx400 is that at 2:03

[@sallyjohnathon2994]

Hey I have a question, by any chance did you see the scania wright solars 778, 769 and 839 because I was remember getting in on these buses very often a few years ago 😊

[@BusVideosNI]

No they weren't there they had already been cut up.

[@Yourlocalbusethusiast]

@@BusVideosNI 839 is still parked in my local depot

[@Yourlocalbusethusiast]

Why was 1250 scrapped she was such an icon

[@BusVideosNI]

Sadly cause it's owner couldn't look after it properly.

[@Yourlocalbusethusiast]

@@BusVideosNI I thought she was in preservation

[@johnUB4478]

​@Yourlocalbusethusiast an old friend of mine owned it. Not sure why it ended up for scrap

[@Yourlocalbusethusiast]

@@johnUB4478 the owner was running a tour company illegally with the buses he wasn’t supposed to use and made a lie saying apparently it was damaged beyond economical repair he had a big battle with translink for using their corporation livery

[@johnUB4478]

@@Yourlocalbusethusiast I didn't realise that. I knew he had 1250, 1550 and another one.

[@Yourlocalbusethusiast]

Sad translink dispose all these workable workhorses

[@BusVideosNI]

Indeed. Some buses seen in the video actually drove up to hamills.
