I used to quite enjoy a ride on the 84 out to St Albans, gave a Metrobus a chance to stretch its legs (even on some of Potters Bar's more disreputable specimens)
As Sullivan's London's only independent operator, I wonder if they let you choose your duties, although if ur route goes elsewhere, do they have to provide the same privilege?
Sullivan buses has an old 52 plate Volvo B7TL?? There are none on the roads up in Glasgow at all now. First bus got rid of them all and it's the remaining 07, 08 and 08 B9TLs that's left with BYD ADL Enviro 200 EVs, Yutong E12s and ADL Enviro 400 EV models everywhere.
@@BristolRE Not only that but it was not blasting it's cooling fan like most of them do. It wasn't a good thing to have a bus with a loud fan going through a rough housing scheme in Glasgow at night and all the wee brats knowing where you are. You know I had a bunch of them actually switch my engine off while I was driving one night. I was pulling away and they managed to get the rear cover open and stopped it just as I was going round a bend down hill and almost hit parked cars as naturally the steering locked. I got away with it that night. Great memories of Glasgow..NOT..
@@BristolRE At least with electric buses they can't turn them off and the little darlings look so sad cause they can't push that red button anymore. I mainly just drive Yutong E12s now.
The current fleet of buses in London are boring it just enviro 400 mmc or the new routemaster I miss the old buses like the bendy bus and the alx 400 and original routemaster 😢
Don't get me started on the days when each operator had its distinct variation on red livery, and there were colourful private operators like Capital Citybus and Grey-Green .... 😢
Thank you for another lovely video.
You're welcome
Another different destination was great to see thanks.
You're welcome
Nice to see the drivers on the 313s give you a wave Peter!
Only because they know me! Lol.
@@BristolRE 😀👍👍
I was also in Potters Bar earlier on today! Lovely video
Nice, and Thanks
Very good video Peter. Nice to see a variety of very old buses and new buses at potters bar
Thanks, it made a nice change.
Nice variety going on there. Liking the green livery. Nice to see your fellow drivers waving at you.
Yes, it was.
Great video! Good thing you didn't see any nasty Streetlites on the 298 today!
Yes, all double deckers which was good
Golders Green might be a good North London one. I know quite a few coaches out of Victoria stop there
GG has been on my list for ages, but buses only, coaches don't interest me
Yeah, GG would be a nice location to film, there's plenty of buses

Yes indeed, lol
I’m pretty sure Sullivan Buses should do something about the blinds on WVL1 because the rear and side blinds are just pure confusion.
Definitely!
WVL1 with its yellow front door is quite a nice touch.
Yes indeed
Nice video
Thanks
Nice video Peter. 1 day left until my birthday arrives.
Thanks, and Happy Birthday
As Sullivan's London's only independent operator, I wonder if they let you choose your duties, although if ur route goes elsewhere, do they have to provide the same privilege?
I believe you can opt to not be on a rota, and choose your shifts / days / routes in advance from those not covered via a website or app
If a shift you want is covered, could you get them to swap it
@@mohibj Only if the driver who is allocated that shift agrees, which would be rare
Ok, in normal companies, can you get spares that are both, part time and time specific, or do they dislike that even more?
@@mohibj Very rare to come across that, though I dare say you might find some companies that do it.
Nice video! It's a shame 84 has been cut back from New Barnet
Thanks, and yes indeed a shame
PB too far where I from great video 😂😂
Thanks, some nice variety here
@@BristolRE 💯👌🏾
I see That 398 was in green bus
Yes indeed
