The Metrobus Enthusiast
United Kingdom
Приєднався 7 бер 2017
Hi! I'm The Metrobus Enthusiast, a mostly bus but also train enthusiast based in Eastern Surrey in England. As evident by my channel name, I am a fan of the bus operator Metrobus, based in Crawley, West Sussex, but I also feature other operators.
On this channel, you will find bus rides, bus observations, my series 'Buses 2022' and 'Before and After', and the odd trainspotting video. Many of my videos are based around Redhill and Gatwick Airport, but other locations are featured as well.
I also post the odd meme on my second channel, @TMEmemes69420, linked below.

Ride on Metrobus ex-Swindon ADL Enviro200 MMC | 6715 / YX24 PDU | Route 424
Metrobus ADL Enviro200 MMC 6715 / YX24 PDU is seen on route 424 between Gatwick South Terminal and Horley Air Balloon. Until recently, this was 3999 at Swindon's Bus Company, as evident by the unit number still being on the side and rear, and Swindon poster underneath the cab!
At the 406 running day, I went on LDP285 and TA247, but I called them 285 and TA40247, as "I go with whatever it says on the bus". If that applies here, then this video is of 3999 lol

So while I have been experimenting with other ways to present registrations this week, I am putting this in brackets to keep it in line with other compilations, as I will probably go back to using brackets by the next Throwback Thursday. 6630 was part of a batch of 10 OmniCitys (624-633) introduced in March 2008 for the conversion of route 100 (Maidenbower - Redhill) to Fastway. These OmniCitys...

This has now been withdrawn wnd this time never returning 😢
GUYS, IF YOU GO ON THE FLEET LIST, WHAT’S 6762 ?! Is that a new, permanent bus to Metrobus, that they’ve decided to decorate in retro branding (like they did with a Volvo Eclipse 2)?
@@ewanhawke It's one of the 6 Enviro200 MMCs on hire, but rather than plain white, it's been hired from Hulley's of Baslow.
@@ewanhawke There's also 6760 and 6761. 6760 is YX23OTB previously used at Hulleys of Baslow - I went on 6760 when I once did a day trip to the Peak District!
@@gabrielstravels Ok okay, thanks both of you for the answers! But when the LV74 ••• Hydroliners come back, then these loans will all go back?
6626 just got Withdrawn apparently
Hey, in new news just to say that 6626 has been withdrawn permanently now and shall be scrapped.
@Eit88official To be honest, the OmniCitys became pretty crap in 2024, so I wasn't planning to ride them a lot. I'd like to go on 6629 one more time though.
6911 hasn't been in service since Monday, do you know if it is out of service to be refurbished?
@@ZukofavouriteATLAcharcter It's only been a few days, but it sounds possible.
What does "*Dif*" mean?
@@scmtuk3662 It's that noise that makes it sound a bit like an old electric train. I'm not sure whether I should say 'loud dif' or just 'dif' though.
Although I’ve literally JUST seen now on the app, 6937 (BJ11 XHG - not XHD) is on the 324! But this is probably just a loan for this route today (it happened before a few weeks ago for the 324).
rather late but banger rewind heres to WTF year (2025) !
What does a ‘diff’ mean?
@@ewanhawke It's that noise that sounds like an old electric train when the bus is accelerating.
6735 on the 410?? That a loan.. given..?
@@ewanhawke Most likely.
Ride on and metrobus are both bus systems operating in washington dc
@@MetroFann999 What?
@ewanhawke yep! They are both our bus routes!
@@ewanhawke basically he/she is saying that Metrobus also runs in Washington DC (capital of the USA), not just Sussex/Surrey
@ Yeah but it doesn’t right? Well it’s a completely different, non-associated company?
@@ewanhawke I agree that it's something completely random to say, considering that there are a lot of Metrobus companies/system worldwide (for example, not far from where I live atm, there's Metrobus in Bristol - although unlike our Metrobus, it's just a branding for some First West of England routes)
So both the 71 plates have been refurbed now 😁, and so since Crawley have lent Copthorne a Gemini 2… Does anyone know if an ex-Southdown Double Decker is getting refurbished? 😁 I SO HOPE SO!
They seem to refurbish 2 buses around the same time as each other and with 6711 being the only single decker to be refurbished a double dec ker might be refurbished soon. 6711 hasn't been in service since Friday but I dont thats because its being refurbished, 6990 hasn't been out since the 21st when it broke down on the 410 (but that dosent mean its not being refurbished!)
So far I’ve been told by a Metrobus worker that the E400s and E400 MMCs are staying, the other double decks are going including 6949
@Eit88official So.. how do you mean..? Are you saying that the E400s and E400 MMCs are getting a repaint but not 6949? But do you know if a double decker is getting a repaint right now?
@@ewanhawke Not as of now, the 67** will still be redone but the only two left are 6711 6712. So not long left until they are redone
@Eit88official 6712’s been done! 😀 But yeah fair enough.. because the double deckers are so relied on (in the week), it’s probably harder (or going to be harder) to find the right time to get them done. But I’m sure Crawley will be able to give Copthorne a loan!
Nice finger

Rare footage of TME going somewhere new
True
Also are the routes 430/435 never allowed to be double decker?
@@ewanhawke Correct, because of low bridges on the section north of Redhill.
If they did they would soon become single deckers or open toppers
It’s showing 6063 is on the 430!!
@@ewanhawke That's 6125 apparently.
Don’t know how, I’ve never seen that blind before!
Are you gonna make a tribute to any StreetLites when they get withdrawn? (Which probably won't happen for a few years yet) 😈

We hope it stays in service. I'm going to Gatwick to catch this bus in Feb half term.

I hope it does some horsham routes
Done lots recently. 93 23 65 etc
@ oh
these are memories
Sad to see this go
🤞It stays in service for as long as possible
Mass deportations from uk ❤
do you know why it's loaned to Copthorne?
@jackvines3853 They probably simply needed an extra bus for a bit. It's back at Crawley now.
@@TheMetrobusEnthusiast ahh OK 👍
Came into the station not in service and left not in service, that might be the shortest bus service ever
