Definitely a good mix of videos there that made an interesting video, now a bit of info you were thinking of for the company that the scania double decks that GNW got, it started with Transdev London, then, like First London, it went into liquidation and those buses went to London United, hence the seating maquette and floor design. Hope that's helpful to you.
This batch of Omnicities were never with First London, these were new to Transdev London's subsidiary London United (which is where the moquette comes from) then went to RATP who took over London United operations.
@@smithr27 I didn't say they were from First London, I said Transdev London if you read the comment properly. They eventually came to Go North West which it's depot was originally with First Greater Manchester, which is linked with First London, which went into liquidation alongside Transdev London.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the clarity with the Scanias, I had a feeling they'd have an interesting past along the lines of that aha
The only 2 b9’s Stagecoach Chester has are 16957/16958 new to first Manchester for their wigan depot in 2007 as 37312/37313 and where part of a batch made up of 37305-37314 and where for routes into Manchester from wigan.All passed to Stagecoach in December 2012 and where transferred to Scotland in April 2013 after they where replaced with e400’s
A lot of confusion is going around as to who owns the B9TLs was told Go Ahead still own them and only loaned out to TfGM and Stagecoach, I do believe the Scanias and B5LHs are owned by TfGM but I’d be surprised if the Scanias go to Metroline.
Metroline they have a huge preference for anything volvo or wrightbus in general, scanias not so much but they did have Optare olympuses (on scania chassis) for around 12 years or so but also ex first scania omnicitys that barely lasted 5 years before they got sold off
Some interesting vehicles there! Not really a fan of the hybrids' interior, I remember when many operators tried to "greenify" their interiors for their hybrids and most of them aged like milk. However, it's nice to still see them going with their original drivetrain and gotta love the B9TLs as usual, best modern deckers ever made considering both the passenger's and enthusiast's viewpoints. Still cannot stand the E400MMCs with their horrendous non-stop plastic creaking, I went on a new Stagecoach example last summer and the interior sounded like it was exploding going round the corners! We've also got those ex-RATP Scanias in Cardiff, however the only one I went on just so happened to be the slow one. 😂 (346 if any Cardiff enthusiasts are watching)
Can you be surprised ? This is the same as when SELNEC was created and all the municipal,operators and. North Western Road Car were swallowed up. Pathetic and it will all end in tears.

A vehicle worth getting before it's off is Transdev Harrogate 3614, as it is going in 2 months. Been confirmed by a X98/X99 driver.
Aye its a lovely motor, will be a shame when it goes

@@DanielsUKT I believe a big order for StreetDecks has been done.
Don’t forget GNW! Got some incredibly odd buses like Bee Networks only private plated bus Y7 THG formerly owned by Abellio and THG group.
