We were staying in Saltdean on holiday in 2003. We decided too take a ride Tunbridge Wells for some thing too do. The trip started off in nice sunny weather. Half way there it started too rain, and never stopped. Looks like we missed a lot of nice country side.-
I was driving along the other day and spotted someone filming from the top deck of the 29, so I looked it up on here and here you are. Now I have to find my car in the video
A tip for you. When at high speed, a camera is set at automatic focus, the focus keeps on changing and you can see the effect of this when you view the video. Set your camera to infinity to avoid this.
@@pietias231 I also have many tales to tell although I am now retired... I used to drive the 43's out of Kings X up the ECML... With 4500 hp under the bonnet ( 2250 hp ) one up front and one up the botty there was plenty of power on tap... Pulling out of the station on notch five with the Paxman Valenta turbo's screaming their little heads off and clouds of exhaust smoke ( sorry Greta Thunberg ) was something to behold with more excitement to enjoy... 125 mph here we come although they would top 148 mph... Now there is food for thought but as I did not fancy tea and biscuits with the Boss well need I say more..
I drove this as a Driver Conductor when the fare was £1.99 single, £2.00 return Brighton to Tunbridge Wells.. Also drove unlimited Scania Double Deckers from Lewes to Tunbridge Wells + return..Ho.Ho.Ho..

how much is the bus fare? Tunbridge wells to brighton? thanks
£6,90 return (tap on contactless card)
Would you consider doing any of the bus routes in Eastbourne?
Maybe.. I've been thinking of doing Eastbourne - Hastings bus for a while now..
How is it you get everything right while most of the others don't? Many of their videos are unwatchable because of awful audio.
