I remember those. They used to run the 321 service in the evenings and as you say they were very smart. A distinct lack of "rattle" as I recall. I think they carried a sticker stating "Bus of the Year" or something. A nice ride home. Friendly drivers too on the Seamarks although that may have been something to do with the fact it was the last bus and the driver was also on his way home🙂. I suspect that although Mr. A. Stock has said in his previous videos that Watford is his home turf, Seamarks buses on the 321 might be before his time if only just.
They were before my time, but knowing Seamarks had at least one ex-demonstrator figured that the "Bus of the Year" slogan may have been related to that - having just searched the internet for photos it appears it was carried by one of their Optare Vectas, which was indeed new as a demonstrator.

Thank You Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very much for your time, help and support?
The ULEZ requires all buses to meet Euro-VI standards, but with the usual withdrawals of ~12-14 year old vehicles and the younger buses being retrofitted that didn't result in a mass clear out as such, though it may have prevented the last few of older types hanging around a bit longer. Of course whether they were all the 'good' ones is very much an opinion so not something to be corrected or otherwise!
Great video! Lovely to see the Optare Delta. I remember them around Watford in the 1990s looking very smart in the white and green Seamarks colours.
Thanks! Yes, it was good to see the Delta. I specifically waited around to film it depart, along with the Red Rose Dart / Spryte.

It’s a shame all of the good buses have been removed from London due to the ULEZ (correct me if I’m wrong)
The ULEZ requires all buses to meet Euro-VI standards, but with the usual withdrawals of ~12-14 year old vehicles and the younger buses being retrofitted that didn't result in a mass clear out as such, though it may have prevented the last few of older types hanging around a bit longer.
