Never heard of this museum and i am from hudderfield so this will be on my to do list thanks for bringing this to my attention

[@JakeSCOC]

@@austinmatthews347 Glad it's put it on your radar. Well worth a visit.

[@davidjbatley]

I really should pay a visit I only live 4 miles away and have never been but there again I'm only 2 miles from the Keighley and Worth Valley and have never ridden on that either. Thanks for making video.

[@JakeSCOC]

@@davidjbatley No problem David. Glad you liked it. Yes give both of them a visit. I've not been on the railway for a few years now but it's a great day out too.

[@EvanBingham-g4v]

What a collection of real buses. Appreciated them displaying works in progress as well as the patina jobs awaiting attention.

[@JakeSCOC]

Hi Jake lovely video of beautifully restored buses and vehicles. Dad was interested in knowing the fleet number on the RMA. We've had look on the net, but not been able to find out. Dad thinks it maybe one of RMA's that were used as staff buses at Aldenham and based at the nearby LCBS and LT garages.

[@JakeSCOC]

@@jadeboswell-rz2ly Hi Jade. Glad you liked the video. I've just gone through my pictures and it's NMY637E RMA52.

[@jadeboswell-rz2ly]

@@JakeSCOC Thank you Jake, I shall put that to dad tomorrow.

[@JakeSCOC]

@@jadeboswell-rz2ly Not a problem. Happy to help

[@jadeboswell-rz2ly]

@@JakeSCOC Hi Jake we found a you tube of Aldenham RMA's from 1986. The third bus scene is 52. Dad remembered that 19 and 52 where allocated to Garston(Watford) from the early eighties. Dad was at Two waters(HH) as garage forman. But we lived on the woodside estate in Garston(GR). He left LCBC in 1985 to work for Priemer Albanian Coaches. Thank you so much.

@@jadeboswell-rz2ly Hi Jade. So glad you found the video and that your Dad remembers this old girl. It's always nice to find out vehicles that you've encountered through life have survived and are being restored. He worked at London Country during an interesting period in my opinion, when things were becoming more NBC and less LT. Glad it brought back good memories.

I think we need a full National Bus Museum, that displays vehicles and holds archives for all operators (we have one for Trolleybuses) obviously a lot of local museums also have some "out of area" vehicles - LT RTs in St Helens for example. In London we have two/three (plus Ensign covering South Essex too and North Weald/Epping Ongar Railway) - LT Museum, LT Depot and London Bus Museum - which is co-located out at Brooklands and not easily accessible by bus.

[@JakeSCOC]

@@highpath4776 It would be nice and of course a good idea. A bit like the railway museum at York but for buses and road transport. It does seem crazy that some of the most important road transport artifacts are in private hands....

[@highpath4776]

@@JakeSCOC I have a document collection (prob duplicates most of the Omnibus Society and similar ones). Would you like it (not many timetables, its more parlimentary reports, etc and wont include the "Buses" magazine etc, but would have many other leaflets mainly Southern England

[@JakeSCOC]

@@highpath4776 I'd be very interested. Thank you for thinking of me.

[@georgeratcliffe7752]

The Arndale Centre in Headingley is indeed still here and there is still a KFC too!

[@JakeSCOC]

@@georgeratcliffe7752 I shall pass that on to my Dad. Thanks for the update. We don't get to that part of the world very often!

My two fav hobbies in one place nice to see dad with you my son have gone to many and it’s a great way to be just you and your son ,as for my dad well (censored) ,you know I didn’t realise WYPTE had metros that one looked great ,I remember the BEA RMs flying over Hammersmith flyover down the A4 my nan said when I was little the kept roast potato’s in the trailer 😂well I was 3 ,all the best mate Mark 😊😊 PS anyone restored a ROE bodied British airways ex BOAC Atlantean they looked impressive too

[@JakeSCOC]

@@marksinthehouse1968 Thanks Mark. It was nice to spend a bit of time with my Dad. That Metrobus was very nice, shame it wasn't out running. Can't beat the sound of a Metro. I believe there's one BOAC Atlantean surviving but it's outside and looks rather sad.

[@marksinthehouse1968]

@@JakeSCOClike me rather sad so my mates tell me 😊😊
