Great video. Enjoyed the small clip aboard the Bristol RE. The Bristol VR pulling away at 7:25 sounds superb with its gurgling exhaust.
Interested mix of buses. Loved the first bus, so much character. Cheapskate operator using coaches as buses. Fortunately here in London bus deregulation didn't happen, TfL have control and routes a tendered to strict retirements, including using corporate London red livery.
Salut my friend super bus super video subscribe subscribe ...
Thank you,some good memories here.
Bloody hell!
Thatcher had a lot to answer for.
I remember sitting in a meeting of one of the national operators trying to figure out how to stop a local operator from gaining more customers. The decision was taken to lower the fares and increasing the frequency, driving the local operator off the route and eventually out of business. A common practice at the time. So much for free market competition as the brain washed Tories used to talk about
Remember the Bristol RE’s at Brentwood in 1983 with Eastern National.
People tend to think the minors got a bad deal from that hag Thatcher but so did bus driver's , I took a £40 cut in wages in 86 and another £30 in 93, it was an absolute horrible time .
AEC buses used in London and Baghdad
What an absolute shit shower all of this was.
A sad time for our buses. We seem to have gone from regulated services to de-regulation to self-regulation as every operator realised the futility of a bus war
احلى واجمل باص بالعالم
Btw the bus war still exists in Nottingham today
В рижском трамвае битком.Народ едет за три копейки.Какой ужас среди народа.Оккупанты проклятые.
Quienes son los ocupantes en Riga? Los sovieticos rusos
Лемберг.
Wasn't Margaret Thatcher's 'Transport Policy' wonderful ?
Yes it was and without it we wouldnt still have the bus war in Nottingham now
Fortunately here in London we escaped the deregulation of bus services.
Stevo's had the crappest buses ever
Ah Back when buses in the uk had awesome designs that were loved by all. Especially the Aec RT’s and Routemaster’s. The red double decker arriva buses are no problem tho I have a bit of a problem with the new routemaster’s simply because they look nothing like a routemaster bus.
Not a bad video but the copyright banner top left spoils it.
I remember it well. New bus stops springing up everywhere, and corporation liveries replaced by rattle can and stencil paint jobs on life expired heaps. So much for competition.
Нормаль таак !, двайнай движка .
Ok I'm half way through this and still waiting for the "Bus War" that you promised in the title!
lol...I was driving Routemasters in London in the 80s and managed to avoid all this nonsense! Public Transport is subsidised either through local government ownership or through companies tendering + agreed subsidy for each route! These two ways are the only ways if one wants regular and reliable safe buses. I bet a load of the buses in this video would have failed inspections that day! lol
Funny nobody is on these buses
God don't U just love those squeaky brakes
boring
I hear you..me, I usually praise archival footage yet most of this here filming was godawful..oh well.
Buttler
