No she's not scared! She's been driving busses 20 odd years. Shes was a great laugh, that's her serious face for the cameras

To mark they're retirement? The correct word is 'their'. They're is a shortening of they are.

[@RobloxianCrim_0]

[@MrMarkMarvin]

err it's not raining today and I was on one earlier so while this maybe the last Bendy bus it's definitely not the last drive. However this is most definitely your most friendly driver :-)

As a driver myself I'd say thats her concentrating. People seem to think driving a bus is easy. I can assure you it isn't :-)

They may be coming back to birmingham when we have the commonwealth games in 2022 replacing the deckers.

No. FE02 AKV was preserved and it can occasionally be seen in and around Nottinghamshire.

Good bye bendy bus

[@GolfwagenPug]

Glad i had the pleasure to take our grandson on 700 and 704 the day before they was taken out of service. facebook.com/articbendybus

[@jaggass]

A bendy bus is like 1 single decker towing 3 /4 of another one. I bet they were scary to drive and a pig to park up and service them since they couldn't go over pits.

[@Mixterium]

I drive bendy buses on a daily basis, in Denmark though. They are no different to drive than a single decker with no bend. Reversing is just like reversing with a trailer. It's one of the most simple buses to drive. A bus with 3 axles is more difficult to drive than a bendy bus. They go over pits easily. The bend can bend 30 degrees up and down with no difficulties. Side to side is around 70-80 degrees before it locks itself.

[@lenmediastudio]

Oxterel Bendy buses surely do well in Continental Europe, but remember that streets are much narrower in the UK

[@jaggass]

Bendy buses are only suitable for airports since there is alot of space and can carry lots of passengers.
