So sad that most of this older generation B7RLE are now withdrawn from public use, at least from First anyway
One of the best DWs you will find 🙌🙌 this and DW458😁
Dennis Dart but It’s a Voith Engine Like an E200/300
This wasn’t sounding like a Euro 3 at all,It sounded more like a Enviro 400 trident,like all the Other Plaxton President has a Euro 3 sound.
This bus was called a Plaxton President Tranbus trident.
This bus did a lot of Kickdowns like an Enviro 400 does.
33047 used to do lot of kickdowns in the past since it was in First Essex.
Go Cornwall hasn’t even got one decent bus I got so voted working there The scanias fromm Brighton hove were meant to be ours at Newquay but then Plymouth stole them
I do like how optare buses feel cosy and never rattle much inside As a driver thought the cab is so uncomfortable
Horrible voith But as mmc go I don’t mind them just a modern Dennis dart just give me Allison pls
I’m not. Fan of anything Dennis as a driver but these were fun to drive on the 93 when I was there The other drivers said horrible old sheds but I like unrestricted power
❤sounds beautiful The recruiting manager at kernow hates me so won’t let me back even though they are desperate for drivers So annoying with the influx of so many b9’s
Listen to that engine ❤❤❤❤❤
These beauties are like the top three best buses ever made maybe even no1 My fave bus to drive ever Makes me wanna go up there just to drive these a few still left in service mainly schools tho
As someone who lived in Glasgow for a few years and got to grow up with these and Scania L94s, as well as regular rides on the small fleet of these first had in Braintree before they closed Braintree garage down, this little trip brought back so many happy memories! Sad they’re gone now!
Sounds smooth and nice to see Allison gearbox over voith They should have gone with the six speed gearbox tho
Best modern diesel buses out there imo! Not that there’s much competition at this point…
I went on this and it was fast, responsive and are ideal for the route, I have also been on and by first ever mpd was gn04ucy, and then got 1620 back also lucky kinda is ucy is avaliable in model from cmnl, although usually as twin pack
33047 LN51 DVM is the Plaxton President in London from 2001-2012.
33047 was last seen in service on 21st March 2020 on the route 9,It caught a fire at Nerthermayne Roundabout it got scrapped first then it was withdrawn.So sad to hear that.
33047 LN51 DVM bus is no longer in First Essex,this bus is now withdrawn.
Same with all the other Plaxton Presidents in Essex as well too.
33047 was the 2nd generated and the oldest bus at Basildon.
RIP 33047 LN51 DVM 2001-2020.
33047 LN51 DVM is a Cummins ISB bus in Essex.
Same with 33077 LN51 GNF bus as well too.
Rip to all the Plaxton Presidents in Essex 2012-2022• Including this one 33047 LN51 DVM bus.
Right now they are only Enviro 400, s remaining in Essex.
33047 was the best tridents in Basildon since 2012.
Sounds in brilliant condition for its age!
Being a 1st year student from down Southeast, it was nice surprise going down to Broadstairs and seeing some Darts still going 😁. Will film one eventually
Nice video 👍 Nice job catching 1 of the trio. Sad their being replaced, probably will get more Envrio 200 MMCs instead or something else. I think 2 of have sold now
Yeah according to the Ipswch buses enthusiasts group I'm in 153 and 154 have both been sold to A.Lyles and Son, Batley West Yorkshire. Just leaves 155 to be bought
When beestons ran the 91, the timetable was extremely tight. Of all the runs i filmed on there, only 1 didnt have kickdown used throughout or hold gears. Was a great route for N94s. Well done though Will.
Will 2024 be it's last year
Attempted to ride this on my last visit this year but was severely delayed by traffic congestion around Seatoller. When the bus finally turned up (a Tridentviro) it was overcrowded to the point where the driver was letting people on for free, managed to get the back seats and a bit of thrash but when we caught up with the traffic around Keswick I and a few others got off because the traffic was so bad it was faster to walk! There were no cancellations causing the overcrowding by the way, the buses were just so delayed that they were running around like they had no timetable.
This bus sounds like Pointer 2s on 296.
RIP 33047 LN51 DVM 2012-2020 First Essex or either 2013-2020 could be the one or the other,I don’t know.
231 preserved for bromley bus preservation group which has replaced sister 228
The Optare name is still used on diesel buses, the Switch name is used on electric buses and vans. Nice to see some big firms getting some Optares, they usually go to other manufacturers because of the long wait to receive the orders with them. I've been in one of these parked at the Barry Festival of Transport and it looked very nice inside!
Yes, this is true, Switch Mobility is the electric division of Optare, and their parent company is Ashok Leyland of India..
Whats the top speed on these?
Don't know, Optares are usually limited to 95km/h (59mph) from the factory, I'm pretty sure 90km/h (56mph) is the Stagecoach standard.
It’s made in the 7th cuz I can check date
Thought the Omnis had a sixth gear, making them six speed. Didn’t know they’re five geared/five speed!😮😮
Did you get any ex Brighton scanias?
None were out on anything worthwhile sadly. This depot, a tiny one at that too, don’t use them anyway!
LX06AHD
Sounds A Bit Knackered But A Nice Voith!
Lovely things these are cant beat a 6 pot!
They’ve done well with these!!!
Nice With IBus!
This is my local line, I live a short walk away from Garth station! Can't stand the 197s, the seats are uncomfortable enough for the Chapman seats on the Sprinters to feel like luxury in comparison! TfW really should have stuck with the 170s, they were the best things that happened to the Maesteg line. Did you sample our rather rubbish "bus" system for the laughs as well? (StreetLites everywhere so I don't blame you if you didn't 😂)
Tbh they’re similar seats to Greater Anglia’s flirts so used to them. Fortunately not.
I Have Rode It!
New bus
There was some kids talking on the bus as well.
33047 had a rattling sound.
Same with all the other Plaxton Presidents in First Essex as well.
33047 LN51 DVM was built with a Euro 5 conversion with 33077 LN51 GNF and 33194 LT52 XAE
@eswbusproductions is 33047 no longer in Essex?
Are the Plaxton Presidents no longer in Essex as well as 33047 LN51 DVM?
