These are PRESERVED Buses, Feel Old Yet? Low-ish Floor Running Day - 16/07/2023

[@PJS_Everything]

Enviro 400 wow! Some people are even preserving B9s now! I feel old.

[@glitchFan2428]

Indeed! It feels so weird

[@shacarioking5149]

I was in another country when that event happened I wish I went

The Low-ish Floor Running Day is happening again on Sunday 14th July 2024 from 10am to 5pm

[@BusTrainsGuy20]

I can't believe the guy for GAL bought E61, I thought no one would buy it at all but I guess the Enviro400's are getting some love too.

[@glitchFan2428]

Well a bus being saved from scrap is always a good thing 😁

[@TrainsAndBusesAroundNELondon25]

GAL worker gives up on GAL and decides to preserve E61😂

I'm just about old enough to remember ALX400s being in service with Stagecoach and First here in South Yorkshire along side B10BLEs, B7Ls, B7TLs, Darts and the like, hell I may have even been on a Volvo Olympian when TM Travel were still running them. I feel old and I'm only turning 18 in October lol.

[@glitchFan2428]

I grew up with the b10ms and Olympians so some of these buses weren't even made yet when I was into buses

[@janchristianursuaaguilar7434]

bro so awesome if only we have that in the philippines because we have lots of buses which are too much for me to remember

[@glitchFan2428]

Yeah it's nice to have some memories of the past

[@TheTransportYoutuber]

The citaro actually isnt preserved, its still running rail replacements in Wales

[@glitchFan2428]

It did a replacement to Cardiff immediately after this video was taken actually, pretty cool. I listed it as preserved as it was stated so on several Flickr posts, and come preserved buses like DLA273 regularly do rail replacement works. I'm not 100% sure on this citaro tho. But we can agree it sounds amazing 👍🏻

[@GuestHypR]

Wah that citaro from another video loud zf i like

[@glitchFan2428]

Yesss it's the same bus

[@陈劲恺]

Kinda feel old when the buses of the early 2000s are now preserved. 😂 However there's a good reason behind this, since London's mayor aims for a full zero-emission bus fleet by 2037 (essentially from 1st Jan 2020, all new public buses procured in London are hydrogen/electric). That also means some of the older buses of London had to be mothballed in this case, leading them to eventually be preserved by these private collectors.

[@glitchFan2428]

At least some are able to survive like this

[@ripb7rle253]

2:15 if I am not wrong last time melaka had these unfortunately due to maintenance cost it's left to rot and scrap

[@glitchFan2428]

Sad reaccs

[@匿名愤怒的足球迷]

That is the MCW Metrobus i believe

[@Sea-ih4qf]

When will you go to Hong Kong to shoot buses again? Now there are many more bus models in Hong Kong waiting for you to take photos.

[@glitchFan2428]

Not sure yet actually, no plans as of now unfortunately

[@resketless]

Would say that not alot preserved bus compared to other preserve events where there alot of old bus models

[@glitchFan2428]

These are preserved, you can see the Bromley bus preservation group banners on the sides. It just looks like they are still in service because of how new they look.

[@5-Consecutive-Hairpin-Turns]

makes me feel ancient, an enviro 400 is considered old enough to preserve?

[@glitchFan2428]

My thoughts exactly! 💀

[@wclifton968gameplaystutorials]

Well the first ones rolled off the production line in 2005-2006 so they are getting pretty old now (in comparison to the average age of London Buses these days) but I too am surprised to see an Enviro400 being preserved...
