Love these videos, it is so nice to see these buses still earning their keep! happy new year to you Pete, keep up the good work, and also a happy new year to `Compo` who has been missing of late. All the best for 2025.
Happy New Year Pete, WoW 2024 was certainly an “EVENT”FUL year for you and your team. Let’s hope 2025 brings you less headaches. The 2024 compilation is a great video to watch, thanks for sharing. Best wishes from another PETE.
Congrats Ross on winning I was 4 numbers out so close lol. Have a great day with Pete Ross. Thx Pete was a great year for you and the channel, Keep it coming sir.
Happy New Year Pete I hope 2025 is going to be a good year for you and your bar bus and I'm hoping that one day that I can drive a London Routemaster Bus with you
Happy New Year, Pete and his ... Compo! And his FAMILY of course! Hello Mrs Pete-and-his-Bus and children, of course! Oh. Yeah. That. Happy New Year to Pete's Buses as well!
Pete it would be great to do a on the buses special maybe even take a visit to the place where they filmed holiday on the buses at pontins…would make a great video 😊😊😊
Nice to see RM1009 is still existing in very original condition, I hope that it is spending less time over a pit than when at AL for a short time in the early/mid 70's. Constantly being booked off for steering and gearbox faults, Power steering locking up if revs not maintained in tight turns, every turn on the 59 road was a tight one, at least 90 degrees in narrow roads in South Kensington and Chelsea and failing to engage 1st or reverse, having to get other crews to push it to turn around on the stand at Shepard's Bush and AK Garage. If allocated it for a duty on the 59 from the Garage I'd tell the Chief Engineer no way, give me an RT, not that piece of crap. A large groan if taking it over on the road and fingers crossed it was fault free, a rare occurrence. Maybe it just had it in for certain drivers that booked it off as faulty or insulted it. A happy and safe and breakdown free 2025.
People need to remember these buses are probably 4-500,000 miles into life and designed for city driving. I.e not flat out on a motorway for long periods. Like people, machines break down occasionally. Its life on the road for you. I would love to do work like the tours you do. Looks incredibly satisfying. Have a great new year Pete and crew and i look forward to more content
Great content with the overview for last year and the catchup on the run upto christmas.. hope you had a great time with your family and best wishes for 2025 Robb Torremolinos Spain...
@@PeteAndHisBus Petes are pretty common here in Canada - I'm imagining it would be like seeing a Routemaster Driving around my town! 😁 There are a few over here - but they're really rare!
A bus in Yankee Candle treatment rescued by an American “Petebilt” recovery truck. I bet that wasn’t planned! Neither was the hefty towing fee from the motorway, but at least you squeezed more value out of it.🎉
I noticed while watching the TV series “Slow Horses”, they drove an old Routemaster through the front of a house. Maybe another candidate for you to salvage and save?
HANG ON - RS Recovery is "Heavy Recovery with Steve"'s employer - EXCELLENT UA-cam channel - I'm guessing it wasn't him (big company) but it would have been pretty funny if it was "Hello, Steve again - this time I've got a UA-camr and his bus" Also - that Peterbilt was lacking enough Jakes - you can't have enough Jakes A US wrecker is an odd choice for the UK tho - bad enough to be pulling 50t and over 50' without being 8 miles wide too!
A pity you couldn't give out the name of your Good Samaritan first recovery guy. Chances are, sadly, that if his employers found out about his act of kindness, he'd be extremely likely to lose his job. What have we come to as a society? The Powers-That-Be are making it increasingly difficult and often downright unpleasant to drive the length and breadth of this once great nation. Ah well, rant over. A happy and prosperous year to Pete, his buses and all his subscribers!!!
Happy New Year Pete. Here's hoping that 2025, will be full of new adventures. Good luck and God Bless!
👍❤️

No insufferable passengers to deal with.
I wonder if it’s got cruise control.
Err and the rest!! It’ll be the bones of 2 million
Fair play to the recovery man for doing for you
Yeah he was alright 👍
@PeteAndHisBus excellent 👍👍👍
Great content with the overview for last year and the catchup on the run upto christmas.. hope you had a great time with your family and best wishes for 2025
Robb Torremolinos Spain...
Thank you!
Joy's of transport breaking down. Happy New Year 😂
Same to you! 👍👍👍
DAYAM! Can't imagine seeing may Peterbilts in the UK! Especially Rotator recovery vehicles! And TWICE!!!!!
It’s cool isn’t it!?
@@PeteAndHisBus Petes are pretty common here in Canada - I'm imagining it would be like seeing a Routemaster Driving around my town! 😁 There are a few over here - but they're really rare!
Gelukkig 2025 Pete en familie! 1:25: Dat is vast meneer Sonneveld? Nee FOUT! (Didn't saw the rest yet!) What a year! Hooray we survived!
Dank u! 👍👍
@PeteAndHisBus Graag gedaan meneer, wanneer km je eens met 1 van die bussen naar NL? 👍😃
Hey Pete, hope you had an awesome Christmas and a great New year
Thanks, you too!

No, non of that was planned… my plan would be very different… ❤️❤️❤️
Happy New Year to you and your family mate cracking videos in 2024
Happy new year! Same to you 👍👍
@PeteAndHisBus cheers Pete
Time we had a Ferguson tractor up date.
True… she’s die a pump re-build this year
Happy New year and many happy cosmic adventures for 2025,all the best.
👍👍👍
Happy New Year Pete & Compo!. For more stories and Bus recoveries in 2025. Cheers.
Happy new year! Thanks so much for watching

Haha fair enough!
What a cool video

"Hello, Steve again - this time I've got a UA-camr and his bus"
Also - that Peterbilt was lacking enough Jakes - you can't have enough Jakes
A US wrecker is an odd choice for the UK tho - bad enough to be pulling 50t and over 50' without being 8 miles wide too!
That Peterbilt is hard work in the uk, you’re right. No synchro, poor turning circle, very noisy… but…. So cool!!
I drove artics for a living for a few years - even the new ones broke down…
😂😂
A peterbuilt!! 😮
Ohh yes!!
These buses are beautifully restored, but I notice the drivers cab always looks rough, any reason why?
Yeah i guess we just leave them original. The cab in 1009 is quite tidy.. 👍
I saw a route aster for an aquarium today
😂😂
Maybe contact Paul and see if he remembers and “gets back” to you.
👍
What happened with the E400 on the way back? Nothing serious I hope!
We don’t know yet
@ hopefully nothing that will stop its future operations!
Pre 1974 it was a bus I got on
👍
Just a thought.
Remember the film summer holiday!
Was that bus a routemaster....
Nope, it was an RT
Pete are you thinking of more routes aster
Always
Hi Pete! How many miles did you do last year in a Routemaster? How does your back hold up as your a tall fella? Andy
With my own bus and the others, probably about 20 to 30k I actually find them very comfortable. Ear plugs are a must have though 👍😂
Pete! :0)
Yes? 😂
Good luck with all your stuff in 2025! :0)
👏👏👏👏
👍👍
Have you met Ken Bruce yet?
Nope, not yet

Boring 😴
Bit like your comments…. 😂
Hey Pete, hope you had an awesome Christmas and a great New year
Thanks, you too!
@@PeteAndHisBus Can't wait to see what you bring us for 2025 😀 Wouldn't it be awesome if you could come to Salisbury, Oh....yeeeeeeaaaaaaaah 🤣
