Ah the lesser known delights of Meltham estate roads where even a Volvo V70 is considered an outsize vehicle... Great to see you back, have really missed your cab-cam tours of the back roads of Kirklees. 👌
Great video mate, I drive the enviro 500 tri axle here in Dublin,certainly wouldn’t take them turns you have on your route as only the front axle steers on ours
He is a hero could of been much worse my he r.i.p and all those he saved never forget him.. 👍🏻 God bless u m8 your a trooper to keep driving and not let it make u wanna stop I'm not sure I could do it myself.👍🏻
First comment I’ve made on your videos firstly I love them! Secondly, I absolutely love E200s, the rota I’m on we have 10 (plus a spare) Six Cylinder Allison Transmission 40 seater E200s and they are beautiful, hate it when we are given something that’s not one of our E200s.
Brilliant to see you back and well. We all deserve a break! Amazing video as always. I bet it was nice to drive a proper bus again? Anyway, I hope your doing well, great to see you back and I cannot wait for the next video. Keep smiling🙂
Thank you buddy, means a lot that comment :) It was weird to start with, I've not driven an e200 for 3/4 years now so I was a little worried! Don't forget the hit that subscriber button to keep updated with the latest videos

Great Video Sean and good driving round those narrow residential streets. We have a vast amount of E2OO on our fleet and they are great for our rural services on roads not suitable for coaches. Is this a new vehicle for the company you are working for in addition to the minibuses
@@DJenerate Nah it was Tiger as the old Shaun Vids who now works for First put it on plus me and my mum go to meltham alot and see it was a Tiger Blue Reg Ending in UFH with Urban 90 seats. :)
Oh snap MCT? They recently took over the 391 and 392 here in Macc, and one of these 67 reg E200s was on it. Would be dead crazy if it was this one but can't remember which it was. Is this with your company permanently or is it just on loan?
I drive these everyday. They are decent enough buses if you get a good one 😜 good heating, enough power depending what part of the country your in 😂 the only downside is the rattles/vibrations 👎
These are great little buses, warm and little rockets!! Yeah the rattling isn't great. I can remember at stagecoach they had to replace the rubber washers between the cab panels every year hahah
Funny you mention that. Huyton Travel in Merseyside has/had an E200 that rattled so much the driver had to rev the engine to stop it. Not good for fuel efficiency, which is probably why I haven't seen it recently. Probs taken out of service lmao
@@Bus_Driver_Jay The base plate being there makes me think this was already in public use before SPCT used it for this service which is also a public service. Good point though 👍
Nice to see some more cab cam footage, did it feel weird driving the e200 instead of a minibus or did it take you back to driving for stagecoach and Tiger?
We have streetlites and decks they are shite. Absolutely no room in the cab I get bad knees driving them. Was happy when they went bust and gutted they are back
The part where you go down the little street so turn back round and out reminds me of gypsy lane on 125 bus from Pontefract to Wakefield where you go down the street and round a tiny round about most drivers have to reverse a bit or they will hit lamp post, I do love the Ross travel bus services tho drivers are really friendly
Great video Shaun and nice to see you driving a bus again and that route looks quite tight.
very tight mate but all the more fun in a bigger bus lol
R.I.P ken you will be missed
Fantastic camera position. Viewers can enjoy the inside and the outside!
thank you :) was a little worrying about the camera angle :)

Miss driving the e200s now I'm driving the Salvador caetanos for nat ex. Another awesome video fella keep up the filming when you can.
thank you mate :) hopefully some more video of me driving a bigger bus soon :)

My 2nd favourite bus, just behind the E400 2013 model
Great start to the video mate 🖒❤..... good driving to

Must be nice that you can experience you're old bus driving company because one of the routes from there joined your new company.
Great video

Nice to see you in a proper bus again, I say proper loosely because I can't stand driving E200s lol.

Great to see another upload, and it was nice to see you at the NEC recently too. I take it that's the new 933 route?
It isn't new pal they messed up getting an e200 which can barely fit it was origs Yorkshire Tiger UFH Optare Solo Tiger Blue Livery.
@@calvmatthews9064 It was announced as a new route on their Twitter page?
@@DJenerate Nah it was Tiger as the old Shaun Vids who now works for First put it on plus me and my mum go to meltham alot and see it was a Tiger Blue Reg Ending in UFH with Urban 90 seats. :)
I like the E200. Eager and appealing
Its a great bus. One of my favourites :) Don't forget the hit that subscriber button to keep updated with the latest videos
I like this type of e300 like the older version I'm not keen on the newer ones
e200* and I agree.
That's how you check mirrors when driving.
This is an amazing bus
Oh snap MCT? They recently took over the 391 and 392 here in Macc, and one of these 67 reg E200s was on it. Would be dead crazy if it was this one but can't remember which it was.
Is this with your company permanently or is it just on loan?
is that route training -there is no machine on the dash ?
I'm suprised about some of those tight squeezes. Is it tricky to navigate a bus round some of them streets?
its just the right size, fits like a glove! any bigger and we'd have a problem!! lol
Shoutout to Huddersfields greatest driver. One question for ya Shaun is that bus on loan or is it part of the fleet now

The Flat Cap Bus Driver It’s not often Stagecoach find money in there budget for items like rubber seals 😂
Liam Kennedy We have to do this aswell 😂 touch the revs slightly whilst sitting to stop the whole bus vibrating 💪💪
my partner drive west midlands bus back in the day do like sound this bus i think my partner be happy driving this
Good ol Yorkshire brew
Just me who noticed he *doesn’t have a ticket machine?*
FinWotsits Handheld Ticker machines are used

I notice no ticket machine. How are tickets validated/sold at your company? 🤔
Liam Kennedy Hand held ones I think
@@JoshTheCarGuy720 Ah fair enough. Thanks 👍
May be a private hire one. It wouldn’t need a machine if it’s utilised for that.
@@Bus_Driver_Jay The base plate being there makes me think this was already in public use before SPCT used it for this service which is also a public service. Good point though 👍
Liam Kennedy fair point. Could be ex-service? Or second hand.
Nice to see some more cab cam footage, did it feel weird driving the e200 instead of a minibus or did it take you back to driving for stagecoach and Tiger?
was certainly weird, took me back to stagecoach 100% loved driving these little buses so much
We recently got one of these at my company. I’m dying for a go in them. I’m usually in a Streetlite or Dart though.
It looked like it needed adblue and fueling dies the people u work for have gso's to fuel the buses
adblue is filled when required as all bus companies do this. also the fuel level was above half?
Ah i see at stagecoach in the cotswold we got to do it daily
I need to drive an E200, all I currently drive are streetlites
They have there good points some them lol, the e200 are lovely buses to drive :)

We have streetlites and decks they are shite. Absolutely no room in the cab I get bad knees driving them. Was happy when they went bust and gutted they are back
I feel sorry for you they are the most hated bus in London and probably in the UK. Your better off with a enviro 200.
@@TheTransportHub17 tbh there still more interesting than the MMC, aka the bus that's too common and replacing all the good buses
what's happened to your flat cap Shaun? ;)
work in progress lol, got a new one on order lol
