Preserved Bus Adventures | Episode 2 | Skipton Bus Running Day 2022 | Pennine Dennis Dart

Hello everybody, and welcome to another episode of Preserved Bus Adventures!
In this video we're going to our first bus rally! Okay so maybe it's not my first bus rally... I've been to a lot of bus rallies in my time! But today it's going to be our first bus rally all together!
Town and District Transport Trust (TDTT) are taking three buses over to the Skipton Running Day. I have been asked to drive my late friends Dennis Dart Plaxton Pointer in Pennine livery, a bus which in its day frequented the country roads of Skipton.
Unfortunately due to circumstances I also ended up driving a Leyland Olympian Palatine 1! It's a right day of adventures!

So yeah i'm on Discord now! Head on over there and join us for a good old natter!

Running a preserved vehicle is an expensive hobby. If you'd like to help with the costs, consider donating to my paypal! For as little as £1 you can help me fuel the vehicles so the buses can go to more rallies, and we can bring you more great videos!

Hi Joe I'm sorry to hear about what's happened to your best mates a couple of years ago when he passed I hope you feel ok during this events and also enjoying your time driving these buses I do feel for you mate regards from William

[@steveyrich123]

Really nice to watch this, I am in a preservation group myself and I co-own 2 buses within that group. A Volvo citybus and an Optare Spectra 🙂

[@jordi7909]

Nice One blad

[@streetlite26]

We need to see one of your buses in the Joe ahead livery just like Bus company sim!

[@JoeDobsongaming]

That would be cool!

[@grahamc446]

Loving the real world videos Mr Joe. Have to say though, if none of your passengers were dressed like Lufthansa woman, were you even driving a bus?

[@ednaninnis3251]

Great film,,, thanks 👍👍👍👍

[@Paco_Gaepedores]

This video reminds me of how much I love buses ❤

[@adamshaw2932]

Looked like a brilliant day! Couldn't make it this year but hopefully next time. We need a video of you driving one of those half-cabs 😁

[@JoeDobsongaming]

Me driving a half cab?! Give over haha :D

[@andytom34]

Excellent video Joe. Very entertaining!

[@nataliehilton9334]

I remember that London United had a fleet of those Dart buses at Hounslow garage. I think there were some at Chiswick and Uxbridge depots as well.

[@paulgul1]

Great video, enjoyed watching it, hope to see more like this in the future

[@GeneralTech58]

Awesome video 😄 I’m somewhat of a transport enthusiast however mostly aviation and rail. However I must say the Olympian is my preference out of the buses you drove in this vid 🤣

[@mrmarcrumbleton8300]

D15 and the olympian are both absolutely gorgeous buses!🤩😁 I wish there was model of them (well there kind of is - in the form of a corgi or EFE step dart but one has to repaint it oneself - I'm really surprised there still isn't a mk1 palatine casting tho!) Anyway noice video Joe, looks like a good day, wish I could've come

[@JoeDobsongaming]

It was a great day thank you! Really glad you liked the video, and yeah I agree I’d love a model of D15

[@TrainSimWorId]

f off with models, just buy it yourself.

[@imranarriva.yorkshirefento1838]

Enjoyed the video again joe fantastic loved it I have been on Jon’s bus many off times very Decent motor.

[@JoeDobsongaming]

Thanks Imran! It’s a great little motor isn’t it. Very nice to drive too 😄

[@jammiedodger7040]

Dennis Darts are some of the best buses ever made

[@FirstSmit]

Great video Joe, & Can't wait for what is next.

[@JoeDobsongaming]

Fingers crossed it won’t be too long! Who knows where we’re going though 🤷🏻‍♂️😄 Glad you liked it Smit!

[@alf3428]

Wow its so crazy seeing you drive a bus in real life! Than omsi 2

[@britishtransportphotos]

Love the videos, greetings from South Wales! That’ll be me next year 😁 Hopefully should be doing my PCV next year

[@aaronhenley1840]

Sorry didnt come I Have My Reason why Hope u had A Good day On Sunday

[@johnnyboy3949]

Would love a trip on an olympian. Reminds me of going to school in the late 90s/early 2000s. First calderline blue and white olympians. Them were the days.

[@piotrryza8203]

😊

[@KingsAquariumsAndAntWorld]

Awesome video Joe! I loved every minute of this video. Your definitely a professional, I take it your girlfriend/partner likes buses too, can't wait for more videos like this. Thanks for sharing 🙂

[@alfiestewart6312]

Amazing! Loving this series. Only the sound didn't work in the left ear when you were talking

[@alexturton2910]

Really enjoyed this joe thanks

[@JoeDobsongaming]

Thanks Alex! So did I :P

[@alexturton2910]

[@audibell]

Nice

[@BritishLifeSafetySystems]

Excellent content joe

[@JoeDobsongaming]

Thanks for that! Glad you like it 😊

[@MIster....]

Cool bus

[@Monty13Transport]

I think, if you get enough buses, you should start a bus operator.

[@traincontractor]

More of these! 😁😁

[@JoeDobsongaming]

Oh if only the bank of Dobson allowed for such things!

[@KuruvaGaming]

😭My left ear feels left out... (headphones warning when Joe talks its only in the right ear you might wanna change your audio to mono lol)

[@JoeDobsongaming]

Sorry! We only watched it back on our desktop pc... weirdly enough it didn't do it last time and we didn't alter the settings haha

[@KuruvaGaming]

@@JoeDobsongaming It's the first time I've noticed it on any of your videos but eitherway wasn't an issue I just swapped to mono which fixed it regardless still enjoyed the video lol

[@FiveMwithDylan]

I went to Skipton and Yorkshire Dales bus rally & running day.

[@mcdowellbuses]

Good see my poster is still up . Wot I did for John . So good see. I got your on video too

[@JoeDobsongaming]

Absolutely! It was a great day, I think everyone enjoyed themselves didn't they!

[@lchampeny7nrr]

Wow, loved every minute of the video. Brilliant Joe cute dog too if that is yours? Looking forward to future videos of driving preserved buses. I would love to preserve 2 B7TL Geminis 37060 Ex Halifax and Leeds. 37165 New to Southampton now in Cornwall

[@cghpeg]

Totally agree I'd much rather drive a bus than a race car lol. What licences did you have to pass for this?

[@isaacfrancis9510]

Awesome stuff Joe, do you hope to get 60820 back on the road soon? As always keep up the good work

[@JoeDobsongaming]

Hi Isaac! I’d like to get 60820 on the road asap, but unfortunately there’s only so much money in the pot right now, and 66780 needs a repaint before I’m allowed to use it 🤷🏻‍♂️ so 60820 might see the road next year

[@FirstSmit]

@@JoeDobsongaming next year, Every year until it mends itself. Wouldn't that be good

[@JoeDobsongaming]

I’d rather have spent the money on the B10 rather than a repaint 🤷🏻‍♂️ but it’s what I agreed to when purchasing the B7 so I can’t upset First 😆

[@FirstSmit]

@@JoeDobsongaming I'm sure she will see the road one day, Maybe then you can drive 60820 to Skipton & then no one will Rob you

[@droge192]

OMG... the dog!!! 😃🧡

[@JoeDobsongaming]

THE DOG!!! :D

[@Thebusguyplayz3]

@@JoeDobsongaming you were so brave of driving a double decker well done hope to see some more of this soon.

[@randomtransportguyx4397]

Loved the video Joe. Quick question how are things with the eclipse going I'd love to get it if it does rally's and things?

[@simonrashleigh5398]

It's currently awaiting a new livery as it can't be shown or run at rallies in HX connect

[@xanpagebrown]

Love the video but the audio only being in one ear but swapping sides is making it really difficult to watch

[@32446]

Joe is the best I love your videos so much Joe ❤ You need to fix the audio on the video by the way Joe

[@JoeDobsongaming]

Hi Will, we thought the audio was working as we only watched the video through our desktop speakers... oops! Unsure why it did it, as we used the same settings as last time... weird haha

[@zanderallan3367]

What was driving the dart like I love the thrash they make

[@goose2021]

I honestly thought it was a game.

[@JoeDobsongaming]

Even my graphics card would struggle haha

[@betapress-avi]

Your dog is really sweet, I have a question, do you have a bus license? And what do you do if the buses you buy? As usual it's more fun to see you than just to hear you, what kind of event was it that all the old buses were there?

[@JoeDobsongaming]

Aww thank you! I do have a bus license though I’m not employed as a full time bus driver. I only have two buses, neither of these today were mine, but I’m aiming to restore the ones I have to a nice condition to show at days like this 😄

[@user-dh9jt9hx5t]

I playing to be a bus station in Poole when I have my bus driving

[@YUNGHENNEY]

Hey buddy, great videos! I'm curious how it is you get to drive these buses, are you a bus driver irl?

[@JoeDobsongaming]

Hiya! I’m not a bus driver in real life but I have passed my bus driving test. The different buses are owned by a preservation group where I keep my two buses so if they’re ever short of drivers they give me a call 😊

[@YUNGHENNEY]

Oh nice 😁 I have a provisional PCV and was given a contract with firstbus leeds but it came at an unfortunate time when wages were being cut so it wasn't economical for me to stay at the job ☹️ but keep up the great videos and I may see you at the dewsbury bus rally 😁

[@benjohnston6389]

my nan died in 2020 and she had three strokes and i still miss her

[@ben.taylor]

Honestly the thumbnail made me think it was omsi with some graphics mod 😂

[@stephencrossley5417]

When are you going to drive another bus mate

[@That1TransportLover]

When are you picking your 66780 Up

[@andrewstransportvideos]

Sorry about your friend Joe❤

[@coolwoof2700]

Real life bus simulator

[@JoeDobsongaming]

The graphics and physics are so realistic!

[@olivermoyses7913]

Joe looks like a teenager lol

[@JoeDobsongaming]

I shall take that as a compliment!

[@LongHaulPilot]

What happened to your bus?

[@SamWorthy20]

It’s looks like you enjoyed driving a real bus will they be more bus simulator 21 videos.

[@georgeelsley4305]

Do you own a bus driving license?

[@JoeDobsongaming]

I hope so! 😆

[@lukegarrett5637]

Face reveal and we'll done at 14k subs

[@streetlite26]

Face reveal was like 2 years ago

[@ctra1ns]

@@streetlite26 Face reveal was ages ago on facebook, 5 at least

[@streetlite26]

I’m talking about YT but yeah forgot about that

[@Herrgarret86]

I feel that you have a very aggressive driving style. If so it can't be appriciated by the riders. I feel that with heavy equipment in general slow planned movements is prefered.
