Thankyou Amy. This was a lovely video from start to finish.
Your videos cheer me up every time.
Cheers Tim. I'm glad they bring some joy! I love making different types and styles of video. These are harder and take a long time to make.
Very very good video anton!
Excellent video Anton very well produced and edited, it was very interesting and well worth the wait. It’s great that you have your normal Anton style videos and then videos like these to go with them. Keep up the great work and well done to your cameraman and editor. 👍😀
Yes...all credit to my editor and cameraman.
Filming, editing was spot on with this one. Great video, hope this is the standard of videos from now onwards, not that there was anything wrong before!!!
Keep up the excellent work, Anton 👍👍👍👍
These will be out every 3 months...they take a long time to edit.
My usual style of video will resume mostly!
@@DoubleDeckerAnton no complaints from me...lol
Videos are excellent either way 😀👍👍👍
Great Video Anton and Love that intro. Shame to see the 40 cut back, wish they didnt but TFL have got to do what they have got to do. I also love the new recording style. Keep up the great work
Thanks...a big thankyou to my anonymous cameraman and editor! 😀👏
I know it's sad as it's the bus I take to school every day!
(its me)
What a fantastic video, great watch!
Cheers Aidan...👌
That was a great video DoubleDeckerAnton keep up the great work.
Cheers Leon...👌
Great video Anton 👍🏻 So much of London I’ve still not seen!
Yes Staurt, there is so much to see and film for future videos!
DoubleDeckerAnton the crazy thing is I’ve been so many times. Waterloo is my second home, I work for the Railway. I’ve recently taken to hopping on a bus, top deck, front row. Any bus, no plan other than to go on a journey to wherever that bus may be going. A great way to see, discover and explore London.
Awesome edits👍
All credit to my amazing cameraman 🎬 📹 and editor...📲⏳🔜💻
Absolutely brilliant video Anton, fantastic to see all the sights of the route. It would be great to see the same for some of the other routes as well if possible. Happy driving sir 😁👍
Yes, il see if we can do that later in the year!
@@DoubleDeckerAnton that would be awesome. Stay safe man!
Liking the new video style watch all your videos very entertaining 👍🏻
Your welcome Luke...these are a special every few months...!!! 😀💯🔝👌
Amazing video quality!
Thanks Kristian! 😊
Awesome video as always Anton. Love the intro & it awesome to see you driving too. Hope you well & you have a great weekend. 👍🏻😀
Thanks Sarah...I'm ok...hope your well...😊👍
@@DoubleDeckerAnton no worries Anton. It good you well. I'm ok today 😀👍🏻🚌😊
I like this video which makes me know more about the London bus, you're a great job. I'm from Hong Kong but I never come to London before. I believe in going there soon and I hope to have a chance to see you.
I hope you get a chance to visit London Terry.
Awesome. More of these!
Every quarter, there will be one.
Great video Anton
The old days you had conductors to look after the passengers and you could concentrate on driving the bus
Yes...those days have gone now! 😢
I love the enviro 400MMC, 200MMC enviro 200 and 400. Im a huge fan of those.
Apart from that, nice video with detailed facts. Enjoyed the video.
Thankyou...🙂
Nice video!
Cheers Steve...it was fun making this one! A great memory of a route that was crossing this way for decades!
Great vid Anton 😀
Ta Richard...😀
Awesome video!!!
Thanks Keywan...I got a lot of help on this one...!!! 👌
Great production quality Anton, always a pleasure watching your videos, keep up the good work,
Yes...these are a special every quarter!
Great video mate. 👍🏽
Cheers...🙂
Well done Anton, you are taking it to the next level!
Thanks Jamal. I've a lot to learn from my anonymous cameraman and editor. He really is the star...!!! 😊
Hello, great vid as usual
Thanks Ervini 👌
excellent video, loved the style of this one ! Very professional
Ta...🙂👌
Great video about Route 40
Thanks...I needed a memory of this route before it changed .... forever...!!! 😢
love the new style anton 👍
4:05 those stickers I've seen on london alx400s they are defo not hybrid
FinWotsits not the same stickers. There very similar but the alx400 say this bus has been adapted to reduce emissions where the hybrids should say hybrid cleaner air for london
@@vincejarman2486 oh 😅
You get multiple different versions of it. There's Hybrid, Electric, Bio-diesel and then just cleaner air for London meaning it's been adapted to be cleaner
Great production on this video, Anton!
Cheers James....thanks for the Twitter article. It was a classic...💯🔝😀✍💻
quality video Anton, love how professional it is mate, x
Yes, my cameraman & editor knows how to make a really good video!👍
Used to like driving this route when it used to go all the way to Blackwall Station. Nice easy route
Yes it was a great route to Aldgate! It keeps getting cut back over the decades!
It was always known as the lazy drivers route though. You could follow a 176 to The Elephant then a 35 to Monument then a 15 down to Blackwall from Aldgate, made for a very quiet bus
Great video!
Thanks Akam...😀👍
Such fantastic production quality on this. Brilliant video!
Thanks Ben. 😊👍
Hey !!! amazing videos.
Thanks...👍
@@DoubleDeckerAnton Would you like to be part of the UNWILD Crew ? Its up to you buddy.
Hello Anton, your bus videos are very enjoyable. Keep it going! Also you look a little like Darius from Pop Idol circa 2000/01.
Wow what a great video! I love your new intro it's awsome 😀 we have 66 and 18 plate Enviro 400 MMCs down here in Cornwall nice buses to ride on very smooth and they have stop start technology
Yes matthew...the newer buses make a ll the difference....especially hybrid ones.
matthew howard it is nice we have newer buses down in Kernow, First really have turned around the service in Cornwall in recent years! I do still enjoy riding the 51,02&52 plate Dennis Trident/Plaxton Presidents on my 231 route into Truro College. I’ll definitely miss them when they leave Cornwall next year.
DoubleDeckerAnton no hybrid or electric buses in Cornwall yet, although I’ve heard rumours about a few new electric E400MMCs coming soon for the short U3 service that serves Penryn University to nearby town Falmouth about 3 miles away.
Happy 30k subscribers! Decided to leave my 1st comment as a celebration for 30k!
I love how passionate you are about your job 😊
I am yes. I wanted to be a bus driver from 4 years old. I still have my toy buses somewhere...lol...🤣
I do have a passion for buses. It's just the industry doesn't have any more media people representing the bus world.
@@DoubleDeckerAnton you make the bus world full of happiness ❤
Wow what a truly professional video well done sir from all in belfast
Thankyou Eric...🙂👍
Love the editing skills Anton!!!
Its not me. Thank my anonymous cameraman and editor!
Say thank you to them Anton!!
Great video I think this is your best video you ever made
Yes...its up there in the 🔝 five...!!! ✅💯👍
Finally had the chance to watch - it was very cool to see you in a movie-like video! It sounded like you used different mic set-ups at times, so we could hear you from further away, and also when you were off-screen. Your editor did a great job!
I could tell it was tough trying to sensor the company logos and the fleet numbers lol but you tried your best! If you've got any more movies coming, I'm looking forward to seeing them!
Hi there.
Sadly my editor cameraman is unavailable, as he is busy with other projects, but it's good to try movie style videos and I enjoyed doing 3 videos with him. This one, heritage route 15 video and the bus n coach expo 2019.
Just saw the BBC video on you, subscribed immediately!
Brilliant editing skills!!
It's all thanks to my editor/cameraman!
This is one heck of a great video. You and your cameraman/editor should be well proud
Thankyou...🤗
your best video so far!
Thankyou...😁
I remember Aldgate when it had London Transport Trolleybuses, showing my age, there is at least one Traction Standard left in the bus station used to support a span wire.
Thanks Jack.
It would be great to hear more stories about your experiences on the trolley buses. I've only seen London from 2012, but it's nice to hear the history and stories from the last 30 to 70 years.
"When I wer lad" (OAP warning) in east London route 40 ran from Wansted to Camberwell Green. Some buses for the route were from Forest Gate Garage (long closed). Great video as always, thank you.
Thanks for this information on the 'history' of the route.
@@DoubleDeckerAnton sad the 40 was a good route with the evoseti
100% convinced I saw you driving on the bus I took today...
You might be right! Wave 👋 the next time!
Nice video with nice sites
Do you still do paper logs instead of electronic ???
Epic, really enjoyed that. More of the same please.
I'd love to do a video like this every week. It was easy for me, but my editor spent tens of hrs sifting through video footage and putting it all together and I had to amend a few things with wording and punctuality, but I enjoyed the whole process. My editor is busy on other projects now, but I hope to do a few more like this in the future.
Thanks for watching. 🙂👍
The quality has shot up lately ( not that it was bad before ) and it couldn’t of been for a more grateful person, so well done ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Daniel. This is done by my editor and cameraman, so expect to see this type of production every 3 months as a special video!
DoubleDeckerAnton I love that you keep your raw no edited footage videos as well
love it
I used to live in Surrey right on the SW London boarders. Some of Surrey's bus routes were suffering the death of a thousand cuts. Luckily where I was it was TfL buses between Epsom and Kingston, plus our local E5.
Arriva have been cutting back services here in the North West, both in Manchester and Merseyside. We've lost a route, they've amended the remaining route times to compensate, even so it's now a 20 minute frequency and not 15. Can't grumble though, many parts of the UK would love to have one bus an hour, let alone three.
As amazing as London is, I am glad I moved. Certainly don't get the traffic congestion or pollution here the Kingston, Tolworth, or even Epsom had.
Great great video Anton.
Hi Neil. Thanks for the information regarding buses in the north.
It is sad to see cuts to public services, especially as the population is growing.
We do need to see regular buses on routes on every road and street in the land. Without buses, nobody can get anywhere. We also need to promote 'travelling on local bus routes', via all forms of media.
Buses are more comfortable to travel on, compared to many years ago.
I'm glad you managed to travel on some London buses years ago.
I've seen a lot of changes in London over the past 10 years. Sadly it's been more and more cuts to services, especially in recent years, due to more people working from home.
Great editing by your cameraman brilliant video
Cheers...👍
Nice video
Great video Anton. Im coming to london in january and i will try find your bus just to say hi
Yes, il still be here in the buses next year...🙂👌
I can imagine all that blurring took a long time to edit and render. Well worth it though! Brilliant video Anton and anonymous cameraman!
My editor did a lot of work on this to 'get it right'.
You probably won't see this Anton, but your almost at 30k subs!
I looked at your sub count as of 11/11/2019 at 6:00am and your 29,900 subs! Congratulations on this achievement. You have come a long way!
Have a nice day!
Thanks very much for the information.
I knew I hit 30,000 subs late November. It's been a journey on my channel and its difficult to regularly upload, especially something of this calibre. I'm glad I've managed to encourage other bus drivers to film and blog their experiences on buses whether in London or elsewhere.
Your videos is a full on professional production haha
Your welcome. I enjoyed doing these bigger production videos.
Good video Anton
Cheers Ross...👍
@@DoubleDeckerAnton I can will mention you in my viodes to see if any of my subsicbiers like it
Nice Anton
Thankyou...🙂
@@DoubleDeckerAnton Your Welcome
Hey doubledeckeranton I would just like to say your the best youtuber ever, I watch all of your vids and your inspiring me to be a bus driver when I am older too! I dream to be somebody like you when I am older as you just inspire me soooooo much! I always cant wait to watch your channel too when I get home from school by the way. Also in case your wandering I am 11 years old so just know you got kids watching lol. Please respond too thanks Anton! I love your channel and you.
Thanks Caltom. I want to show the positives of being a bus driver. It is a great job being outdoors and indoors. The job has its challenges but i really love it...!
@@DoubleDeckerAnton I'm so glad you replied and also I am being really honest! I hope I go to london one day and get on your bus cause your literally so cool and inspired me soooooooo much to be a bus driver! Thanks again Anton and just know I watch all of your videos whenever I can. If possible, at the end of your next video, would you be able to give me a shoutout please? I am just wandering about it as I am your biggest fan. 👍😊
Wow I remember when you were a small YT channel, good improvement!
Yes...its 2 steps forward...1 step back..il get there!
DoubleDeckerAnton I love the editing and the way to speak to the camera, thanks for making the video the it was very factual and all around amazing!
Your cameraman did a good job on the editing also u r close to 30k subs
...thanks...yes I'm slowly getting there...⏳
I’m not wild about the interstitial music, but from a production POV, very well done!
Thankyou...😊
DoubleDeckerAnton meant to add I enjoyed the content, hope to see more of it
Fantastic video Anton, one of the best videos u done even tho things are blurred out but I can understand that but once again well done to you, ur cameraman & ur editor. If ya like I can give ya a shoutout when I hit 900 subs
Thankyou. Your welcome.
Production quality was great
Thanks...these nice videos will be every quarter throughout the year on average!
Hello Anton
It’s so lovely to see anyone who is passionate about what they do. I was fascinated with busses when I was young, still find them interesting now.
Can I ask, can you tell us in a video more about yourself. How did you get into being a bus driver, what did you do from leaving school upto now. You mentioned in this video about Polish ! Is that where you or your parents are from ?
Which company is it you work for. Are they ok and happy for you to vlog. You do a great job at it and they should be happy and proud of you. I would say you have a passion and gift of the gab that you should be involved in recruitment or training, you’re wasted mate.
Rob from Manchester now living in Qatar in the Middle East
Thanks Robert. Yes my background is polish. Regarding how I got into buses, yes i could work on a video about how I got into buses.
one of my favourite routes to drive/ride on, this route will be missed
It will be missed Yes. Hopefully it can make a return in the future!
DoubleDeckerAnton lets hope so!
Best video yer
Cheers Joe...👌
The air Unit above the stairs takes the old air out and replaces it with clean air from outside ! I know that as the Breezer buses in Poole Dorset have the same thing.
Great video! Shame that this route 40 will change
Yes...its sad, but the new route is actually quieter and more light, so it is a refreshing change!
Great video 👍 Bus drivers and the bus youtubers should make more of these.
(Hopefully management at your workplace will become more relaxed on the social media policy aswell. There were lots of blurs. Would be very positive for the company aswell IMO 😁)
I've known for years what to put out on my channel with regards to policy. There were a lot of blurs to put on, thanks to my editor!
Great video Anton and your anonymous cameraman. In West London the 140 is suffering a similar fate being axed from Heathrow having served it since 1955. Celebratory heritage event is on Sat 2rd Nov.
It's sad to see old routes going/axed. 😢😭
Now we know what route to find you on ;)
I drive about 8 to 9 different routes so am on this the most!
i swear i saw him on a 185 some time ago
Wow, that came out of nowhere, like a great quality facts video rather then a vlog
Thanks...👍
aw..nice vid :D whats the music in the backround tho i wanna know >:D
Loving the editing skills on this👌 still not as good as the route 15 route masters vid! That vid will always be at the top👌👍1️⃣🆙
Thanks...yes they are very different videos...but enjoyed making both of them.
@@DoubleDeckerAnton did you make these yourself anton?
I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets fully withdrawn and mostly replaced by route 42
fantastic episode Anton learning so much about the Bus life from you...More and more I watch i see how much Melbourne is like London very similiar
Yes...I'd love to see a Vlog on Melbourne!
