Hello everybody, and welcome back to Preserved Bus Adventures!
It's been a little while since we last did a video on the Volvo B7RLE, we did aim to do one a bit sooner, but as you'll see it's not for want of trying! But anyway at last the stars have aligned and we're able to take the bus out for another run.
We're off to Chorley today, a nice distance to blow the cobwebs off, as well as pick up some tools to tinker about with a few bits and bobs. The assault screen has been fixed now so it fully opens (and stays open), as well as replacing some of the old cushions with brand new (ish) ones. It's been an absolutely great day, and I hope you all enjoy coming along for the ride!
If you enjoy all things buses, make sure you subscribe so you never miss out on any future uploads!
Keep up with the preservation of this marvellous vehicle by liking the Facebook Page:

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!

This is his bus...??? So he's rich...?? So he owns a bus company..? What???? Can someone explain please because I have no idea 😂

@DavidR_192 15 күн бұрын

@@damian-transport-enthusiast - He bought an ex-service bus from First Halifax. You can get a half decent bus like this from around £6000, so it's not about being rich. Just choices. The running, storage and maintenance of the bus is far more than the price you pay to buy it.

Looks nice so far... I think you should replace those white & yellow license plates with black plates in order to make the vehicle look older than it actually is to those not in the know. I would also recomend that you try driving this down some really narrow roads to test your skills on driving this bus, could end up being a real challange but don't go down a byway...

@DavidR_192 15 күн бұрын

What? It's a 2000s bus. Black plates belong on 50s and 60s buses. That would look really odd.
