RIP DLA90/6090 your thrash on route 34 and your hill climb on Enfield routes will never be forgotten 1999-2016

[@MetrobusChris]

That Leyland Olympian in the beginning lasted longer than these just goes to show that older buses are better🙂

[@Renwick19]

That wasn’t a Layland Olympian it was a Bristol bus

[@joshuahalla.k.a.controlla6333]

I will miss these buses. RIP ALX 400's.

[@HawkerBlue]

Nice busses to drive, but with the milage on them and the nick they were in (ours at least) it's not a surprise

[@ciaranbird3373]

Knowing the daf, it will overheat and brake down on the tow truck. At least it looks at home when it is being towed. An arrival dw on a tow truck...where have I seen this before xD

[@DanielsUKT]

Sad seeing our old buses going to scrap

[@jogindersinghfoley3860]

In London post 1970 the bus we should have had was the FRM, A bus far better than the curent front entrant rear engined junk that has lurdhed its way round London for the last 50 years.

[@mickb6285]

That old merc wrecker looks like its nearly ready for a suspended tow itself!!

[@galaxymultimedia1621]

I like the NFS advert Which is Need For Speed

[@hooli4110]

Thats a common bus to see in the DD bus school

[@trainman86trainstramsandmore]

RIP DAF DB250 ALX400 :(

[@jaggass]

alot of darts daf's from wales are going for the chop

[@joebroughton2334]

Quite humiliating with the wheels removed.

[@vjaska]

I loved these buses, such a shame to see them scrapped. How many are being scrapped?

[@video47]

Yes I liked them too! This one failed with its gearbox. Rhyl depot are getting 20 new Sapphire Enviro 400's so are having to clear out old stock. I am making a compilation of the DLA's in North Wales since their arrival a few years ago, so that will be one to watch!

[@benolifts]

That bus didn't last long. They brought a whole load of those to Medway 2 years ago. They keep braking down.

[@manbtm1480]

Beno Lifts braking makes no sense do you mean breaking

[@belfastbusfan]

ah what a smile to my face this brings seeing a crappy DAF alx400 being towed away for scrap ahhhhh I hate DAF and this is just shear enjoyment watching this

[@ciaranbird3373]

*whispers* same. Their steering wheels r so ugly. DAF make great trucks, just buses aren't their thing...

[@LiftEnthusiast2020OFFTOPIC]

Belfast Bus fan actually I loved these amazing DAF buses. Even though the new e400s are nice too.

[@scottishtransportvideos264]

Wtf is wrong with you

[@NorthEastbuses01]

Very nice catch :) How on earth did you manage to get inside of the depot, did you just ask? I'm very surprised that the bus left the fleet in the condition it did, i.e it was still recognisable as a bus, apart from the missing windows and wheels it looked ready for the road, up here Arriva have a tendency to scavenge parts from buses (especially the old prestiges at the moment), so their ends up being very little left of the bus by the time its taken away for scrap

[@video47]

Thanks, the view you see is actually from a public street through a fence.

[@LiftEnthusiast2020OFFTOPIC]

God so sad to see this bus face the cutting torch. Did any of her sisters survive?! 😭

[@raylyd]

well Newport In wales haves a few alx400 nice bus what a waste.

[@chillired5389]

I’ve never been into these buses as I’m a Merseyside PTE Walter Alexander Leyland Atlantean enthusiast but I can’t understand why this bus comes up as SORN, even though it was taken away to be scrapped

[@thomasoregan3757]

Why cant they leave our ALX400's alone?

[@theoriginalgamerhd6477]

They keep withdrawing them,scrapping them selling them to garbage southern Essex company's such as the infamous trustybus ,and converting them into trainers can't they use a rusty LJ08 enviro 400 from palmers green(AD) instead they're not in use anymore they're just left there to rot

[@joshuahalla.k.a.controlla6333]

I agree:) The ALX 400's are the best buses in the world. Who ever made them is a genius :) Especially the tridents (Voith and ZF).

[@alfiewhittaker3763]

i thought they where tridents whats the difference

[@ChilternTransportProductions]

this train terminates here The chassis. Bodywork is the same but the chassis and engine it runs on is different Both the DB250s and Tridents as well as the B7TLs can be paired with other bodywork, not just the ALX400

[@kitchbates5858]

sad

[@clairemills2342]

The bus is got take becuase it is broke

[@RonnDon]

What a rubbish company. Good buses being thrown to waste, the new Sapphires are just too slow.

[@NorthEastbuses01]

Pretty much anything is faster than a DAF DB250 though haha, they're definitely more noted for their comfort rather than their outright performance

[@RonnDon]

Except for all those new horrid pieces of rubbish everyone calls the "Enviro 400", anything can be faster then it.

[@NorthEastbuses01]

The E4000's we have fly

[@londonbuses1841]

ronnoc1k8 They use the daf ones as training vechiles. All DLA's in london are training buses ;)

[@wharris302]

E400s are rockets, if they aren't, there's something with them

[@brianknowles1727]

Horrible bus

[@trainman86trainstramsandmore]
