You just need to get over yerself.

@@troo_story Shut up lol

The Yorkshire Tiger bus from Waterloo depot is not an Optare. It is a Plaxton Centro, they were built by VDL.

@@SofoklisFilo oh yes

why would the scrap it looks modern but is rotting away better put it out of its misery

It’s just old age or had some mechanical problems which couldn’t be fixed

@@TGSUK_Productions ah ok

717 is currently being fixed and withdrawn temporarily, 723 is in working order still and the SquarePeg ones I believe are withdrawn too but not too sure

It'll probably be refurbished in a 2 story little home renovation.

Scrapped now in Barnsley

7 what ? Sorry I've forgotten. ....

Theres one or two where I live in Bury. They have the same bodywork but they have a Volvo Engine in it.

Ran on heavy oil in Devon back along !!

@@Matt-di6nb we occasionally see volvo centros ex blackpool on trax when something has properly messed up i have seen 1525 on it once before and i know 1526 has covered it too also you get very rare rosso stuff on the first 273 of the morning which then goes onto a bury school route an mcv evora did it once usually get a centro i dont know of any of our vdl centros doing much work at all they are all knackered and the tempos even worse

But good thrash from the ex tiger vdl ones had one down the motorway at 60mph absolutely screaming and stinking of burning metal 😂 and had a few of the blackpool ones on dead runs between rochdale and blackpool my god they are in perfect condition blackpool ones are b7rle

Yeah it has been since it closed 2 years ago

And now is owned by SPCT

I don’t actually know tbh, I don’t know full details about the Centro. I just happened to be there at the right time when it happened

@@TGSUK_Productions hm bit weird

I don’t know tbh.

Could have done but who knows

Wythall Transport museum have already a got Spectra for spares.

@@jaggassthey could of used the shell as a cafe , I always think that wythall should open an adjacent bus weekend holiday let busmans holiday park , where they have 5/6 self contained holiday lets using bus shells which are unsalavagable to put on the road, yet useful as accommodation and to tie into there bus museum business model.

@@davidhope5713 It hasn't had that much took off it to be fair. It was a parts bus for R1 NEG.

wythall has 4005 which was given to them by NXWM along with 4001

Come again?

@@TGSUK_Productions First Bus love to send their finest examples of clapped out 18yr old buses to Stoke. And these buses look like prime candidates...

Ahh now I get, sadly that hasn’t necessarily happened

@@TGSUK_Productions That's such a shame. First bus were hoping to retire some of their fleet of horse-drawn trams around here

Between 750k-1mil usually in public service but could do more

TGSUK Productions thanks 👍

Some Routemasters in London, did literally millions of miles in service. Admittedly some were re-engined, but they still did some staggering mileages.

R Evans that's incredible I guess it's a bit like Triggers broom, apart from the shell most of the parts would have been replaced over the lifetime of the vehicle so most of it wouldn't be original

@@simonnelson7770 Well to a point yes, but you'd be surprised how much of the original was in there still somewhere The secret was that the chassis and body were able to be easily and quickly seperated, so if the body was fine, but the chassis or engine needed repair or refurbishment, an already previously refurbished chassis would accept the untouched body and be able to be back out into service, earning money, in a matter of a couple of hours, rather than a week or two where the bus wasn't able to be effectively split in half. . At the start of the film "Summer Holiday" , you see the cathedral like workshop at Aldenham, where the body and chassis were seperated and then.worked on. So it meant that the vehicles could be fully refurbished quite regularly and therefore, most of the original running units could usually remain useable. It was all very clever, but subsequent vehicle deliveries didn't have such an option, so eventually it closed down and is sadly now just a housing estate. But I think one of the roads is called "Routemaster Close" in respect of it all. Hope this is of interest. Cheers

It’s been stripped for parts etc that are usable

Yes this is true

It’s not very easy to actually do to be honest, especially as the spectra was mostly used as spares for 723 and 717 by the sounds of it

@@TGSUK_Productions fair enough and depends - it would still a do as a non runner home.

These were already withdrawn when I filmed this, these were going to Barnsley for scrap

But those were in need of scrapping, most of buses do get cleaned

@@TGSUK_Productions I was in High Wycombe last September (2020) for Showbus and honestly a couple of Wright Renowns that were actually on service looked in a worse condition than the buses in this video. Besides whether the buses in this video needed scrapping or not doesn’t excuse the fact that Arriva buses always look dirty. It wouldn’t harm them to be washed regularly. Compare Arriva with Go North East (GNE). Sure some buses are dirty, it’s impossible to keep buses spotlessly clean whilst they’re out on the roads but at least GNE do wash their buses regularly and you can tell the difference.

I don’t know sadly

You would think so. And places like the Phillipines that still use 1960's Jeepneys.

Not worth the export cost to third word. Better value making them into bean cans. Buses last 20 years or so are just disposable throwaway junk.

Who we referring too here?

I wasn’t trespassing it was by pure luck

John Barton I was there too it's public land. Keep ur comments to urself. KAREN

idiot come back when you learn some grammar

Lol he was actually filming all this on public land. It’s not trespassing

Thank you ☺️
