Hi, I'm Riku :)
For as long as I can remember, I have been overly enthusiastic about trains and transport in general, and on this channel, I pour out my love for it in videos featuring informative and fun journeys exploring transportation in London and beyond.
In my time on UA-cam, I've interviewed many people who shape the state of trains and buses as we know them, attended station openings, stepped aboard brand-new trains, and found myself in unusual, interesting and unknown territories.
I'm very grateful to every single person who has subscribed to my channel- they drive me to continue making regular videos with heartwarming comments and never-ending support.
I'm also a young author of children's and teens' books, an audiobook narrator, and a co-host of a music project.
My brand-new book, Music to My Ears, is available to order on Amazon in paperback and ebook: amzn.eu/d/dh3tMIz

007 and a hungry werewolf- Riku Reacts
Still have nightmares of doing the H2 in the early 2000s for a few weeks on loan to North Acton/Harlesden with OM243/244/279 & MMS269. 16 round trips in a duty. Wonder what will be ordered for the new contract, which should bring announced in next few weeks, as it was tendered in same batch as the 268, which was announced recently.
Your were on denzals channel that's why I know you
Very informative, and certainly one of London's more unusual bus routes It would have been interesting to ride it in one of those old Ford Transits
Another day, another day Riku drops a banger!
im a nonbinary person and transport enthusiast. amazing video, and beautifully said
Godwin is hot
I love your videos well done! Could you do the route 309 please
1000th view 😊
god always wanted to ride that bus, my dad used to live round there and id stay with him on weekends, that sure does take me back
I live a 20 minute bus away from Golders Green! I've rode the whole of the H2 a couple of times and I agree, its nice! You should try to make a H3 video, but that would be hard as the H3 only runs a couple of times a day, from Monday till Saturday. Sadly, in Archway, the W5's Optare Solo's have been replaced by Metrocity's. it was fun while they lasted
Like for you from H2 driver 🙂 H2 H3 631 it's a one package with another lovely route which is 268 .
Two fins I want to tell you I watch it for 3 days absolutely loved new content and you look you too look a bit younger than the age for UA-cam but hey keep up the awesome content and keep up the good videos😊😊😊😊
Dose Oscar have social media
I SWEAR I SAW YOU AT GOLDERS GREEN
What Was Oscars last name
This is a great video. Hope that you enjoyed Pride month Riku.
New Riku video!! I wish you could do every friday instead of every 10 days.. Edit: AYO RIKU GETS THEIR HEADREST??!!!
As being a bus nerd in the south coast in Southampton and knowing nothing about trains but knowing a big lot about buses I would invite you for a special co lab around the Southampton coast as I would tell you a entire video you could make about bus services and I can explain it
smol bus
Dial A Bus was a popular concept Nationwide during the mid seventies but it was then costly to operate, hence the H2 becoming the hail & ride service it still remains. The modern day Dail A Ride operation came years later, and has been more economical to run because of the advent of modern technology to deal more efficiently with bookings. Ohh, and Oscar, Strachans is actually pronounced "Strwan". They were a bodybuilder with, tbh, not the best reputations for quality, their bodies that were bought by Wolverhampton Corporation soon developing signs of decay, hence why they are no longer around!
I once arrived in Golders Green on an NX coach from Birmingham. I then had a bacon sandwich from one of the cafes before riding the 260 all the way to White City. Never rode the H2, though!
train > coach
Nice video, was watching this on a bus as well 😂 Those houses are lovely as well
I would love to ride on route 58's new BZL DDs or route 63 with you sometime!
Would this be the only type of bus operated by TfL with that type of LED blinds?
There is another route that could be a circular route and that is Sullivan Buses route 327. It goes from Waltham Cross and circles around Elsinge Estate, then stops at Turkey Street Station while going back to Waltham Cross. Do you think you will try it out? But anyways, good video as always Riku! Keep up the good work!
nice video, also fun fact the R8 and the R5/R10 only have a PVR of 1, the R5/R10 is a circular route as well, the R5 is the clockwise service and the R10 is the anti-clockwise service. Both come only every 2hrs and 30mins on Monday to Saturday! I'll have a look on them to see if its worth me doing a video about them too. They also use small buses but don't know if they're smaller than these, they use Enviro200 8.9m buses.
Audi R8?
@@SpotLondon2024 lol not quite XD
Wow ! The H2 Bus looks amazing. Great video Riku
W video ever
Nice one 👍
3:36 there was an oyster pad but it got removed in 2020 to reduce fair evasion.
It’s not Barking Bus garage // SL2 ,175,150 are based at Ripple Road Dagenham ie Barking DX because this is Arriva and the one you said is stagecoach
Cheers for my pipe playing shot 👍
Nice work. Would you guys do W5 in North London. Its mainly a back-road route
Eat your heart out linford Christie you should have got gold medals the two of you so I'm going give you your medals 🥇🥇🏆🏆
Great job! How much is a day ticket?
It's very disappointing to me that they are doing such a big project and they do not make lifts on every platform.
This is before your time but in north woolwich there used to be a small train museum there, I used to love going there before or after going to the park. The train also ran from North Woolwich to Stratford, I would take it to West Ham sometimes but very unreliable. The last time I took it in maybe 2005 or 6, the train was over an hour late and I caught a cold.
You couldn't possibly be expected to know this, but in Scotland the -mouth suffix, and the -shire suffix are pronounced the same as your mouth and the Hobbit's Shire. Having spent a large part of my life in both Scotland and my native England, I always pronounce the Scottish ones differently from the English ones. Typically people who have not had this experience pronounce the other country's mouths and shires after their own country's fashion. Also, another Englishism to look out for (much used by the BBC) is pronouncing Glaz-go as Glahz-go. It is of course possible that some posh Scots pronounce it the second way, but it is not normal in the general population, whether in Glasgow itself, or in the far north where I used to live.
Also "ker-koddy"! :D
Is it possible to carry trolley bags ( Small and Large ) in DART and ThamesLink trains?
Absolutely brilliant video I believe that we all have a duty to respect each other for whom we are. There is no place for hatred in civilised society
GTransit
Great video
It is such a better opportunity as this is an express service. My favourite one is the SL2.
Happy Pride Month! Hate loses every time, stay strong everyone!
The only hatred comes from the lgbt community!
No matter how many hate comments you might get, think on the good side and great video
THANK YOU!!!!
The only hatred comes from the lgbt community!
SL4 is not there

This bus used to be on Arriva's on 78 until it pass to go ahead
