- Doubledeckeranton mentions in detail one of his favourite 'old' buses that he likes to drive and makes a short list of things that make the 1st version of the Enviro 400 diesel a great bus!
This 2007 bus is different in many ways from the 2nd version Enviro 400 that replaced it in late 2009!
The feel of the bus is similar to buses of old and as the saying goes 'they don't make things like they used to'.

I love E400's, the ones I get to school have lovely seats - bearing in mind this is the Isle of Wight
E400s are my favourite bus type of all time especially the pre 2011 ones can do loads of thrash and kickdown they can get to 50mph really fast
London uk buses and more ...they are a joy to drive for an 11 year old bus! đđ
The first Enviro 400 was a 55 plate demonstrator that went to Stagecoach London Anton that replaced the Trident blown up in 2005 terrorist attacks. Enviro 400 is also my favourite bus as a passenger because it has the jump seats on the nearside.
Ross Mcgarrie ..thanks for the information Ross, I never knew that! But I do remember the attack in London back in 2005 when the no.30 bus was caught up in it all!
DoubleDeckerAnton no bother Mate but it wasnât till 2006 that production started at Falkirk Scotland đŽó §ó ąó łó Łó Žó ż. Stagecoach moved three 56 plate ones to Glenrothes from Manchester when they were only abt 2 to 3 years old. But they moved not long after. Think they might be up North in Aberdeen or Inverness area. Not sure Mate. Fleetnumbers were 19047 & 19052 19057 Think they might be Back operating in Fife but from another depot either Aberhill or Dunfermline Anton.
Ross McGarrie - Yep the replacement bus was called the Spirit of London but in FACT the 2005 "attack" was NOTHING to do with "terrorists". Google Paisley Expressions and watch the video 7/7 Ripple Effect on there and you will get your eyes opened to how much our government/political parties LIES to us and if you watch the video interviews of Dr Judy Wood on there you will realise it even more - she took the US Government and over 20 US Companies all the way up to the Supreme Court for putting out LIES with regard to 9/11 and after that you will get your eyes opened as to how much the mainstream media LIES to you about everything as well - of course they were totally SILENT all the time that her court cases were going on and are still silent today. If you read the Jesus, Hitler and Wizard of Oz post on there just now you will see what the agenda is behind all of this totally FAKE terrorism.
William Woods ........ spirit of London Iâve got the model bus to that. Yep perfectly aware these awful partyâs lie all day the time Mate. You get no argument from me on that one Mate.
I like the old buses
Great vid once again!
I love 2007 Enviro 400s!
Love your channel Anton. Bus driver here in Van, Bc . Also turned 39 recently!
Always enjoy your videos
The best thing about enviros are the old exits doors which are soooooo much better than breaking glass soft ones on a modern enviro 400s AND modern 200s
that bus looks like it could do with a good clean to me!
neons ....yes it's dirty...but it drives fantastic!
It fits like a glove!
This bus is a bit too late to get a refurbishment but maybe a clean before it is withdrawn
Hello Anton. What we don't see in the video is that this model looks also very friendly from the outside. It is in many ways a very special model. And just like the old routemaster it greets her passengers every morning with that very friendly smile. Small important details do really matter. Bus-architects can make bus-experience a happy experience.
Johan Wagenaar ...yes...they are a very nice looking bus but it was dark so i couldn't film much!
Those backdoors close lovely.
Pet hate is slow closing doors as you can't take power until they're fully closed and miss a gap in the traffic
the king ...yes so true! I like buses that are quick in closing doors...makes all the difference with 'keeping time'.
Hey Anton! I love your videos and I hope you hit 100k subs! You truly deserve it đ
Raul the Lumber ..thanks Raul...Il keep chipping away at it! 100k subs is on the horizon ⥠2020?
DoubleDeckerAnton no no no! not 2020.. maybe by the end of 2018 could be 50k subs..
My ears pricked up at the mention of kickdown... Sounds great and it really helps the performance aswell!
Nice, I miss these
I love the old e400s compared to the ones in my city it has the nostalgia from when i was a child
Great Video, the Enviro 400s are very cool!
I really like sitting on the first two seats on the left when you enter the bus
They are really nice
Whenever I'm not on them I get hypocritical and annoyed
I feel bad though
I just like it a lotâčđâș
You havent posted in a while
It's nice to see you uploading again
Was driving one the other week. It was lovely and smooth and such a refreshing change from the usual WVLs. The first few minutes of driving was interesting, as the indicator stalk is on the right. Lol.
Another great video Anton! Sorry I haven't commented in a while, ive been revising for some exams
Cool video! I liked it. My favourite bus is the original e400 buses like you!
awesome video anton
Your my fave. Please can u do a video on the drivers cab bus functions and what they do please. I donât know if you have done one in the past though.
6:22 My Eyebrows Lit up!
Great video :)
GREAT VIDEO :) KEEP IT UP
Good video mate
i loved this video
0:41 yeah i agree buses in the same fleet classes with differences over the months and years of them being made makes them interesting to me
your my favourite youtuber!
These first versions are Dennis Trident II Enviro 400's, so it has the same engine as the ALX400's the version 2 of the E400's are ADL E40D enviro 400's :-)
I like these Kind of buses
We have 2007 Enviro 400's in Ireland (Dublin Bus). Great buses đ. Seating arrangements are quite similar to your bus except ours don't have centre doors and the wheelchair space is on the left side just after where the middle doors on your buses would be
I love buses so much!
Same
nice anton!
nice bus
The iBus display on the upper deck is mounted off to the right because it wouldn't fit inside the space where the usual "Stopping" sign is. However it does fit in that space on the Gemini, even though that body is 5 years older from 2001.
The Y reg President bodied Volvos had very quick doors. They take literally about a second, maybe a second and a half to open and close. There are some in the commercial fleet, and a couple in the training fleet.
Anton Iâm infinite flight gamer001 this is my second channel by the way I love E400s the sound is amazing
Amazing video as always Anton, I've only driven the second version of the E400 and I totally agree with you that it's rubbish to drive and work on from what a friend of mine at work who's in engineering.
Nice Anton.
We have two 56 plates in Manchester and they are amazing
Arriva North East's 57 reg plates are machines but suffering from poor maintenance but I love them especially when the master is switched on "Fire system pressure okay!"
The newer ones, the 60 plate onwards are more comfortable at the downstairs back.
220 sounds
Nice bus
This bus is like BXâs 56reg, great video :)
Very true
When I'm in an e400 I always sit behind the drivers seat
I love E400s
HD Transport same
HD Transport ...they are a great bus!
My favorite bus is Enviro 500 mmc but I drive Volvo B9TL 11.3m mostly recently.
Up here in North Staffordshire First Potteries still use 2004 plate Wright bodied buses, 2007 is new lol!
they are my favourite buses at stagecoach highland
cameron rob .....they should last another 8-10 years in service!
I like the 2013/14 model enviro 400 they are quite cozy and have verry cozy back seats downstairs. But i like the 2007 model too.
6:48 I miss this bus it was my most favourite bus I used to ride it on the 171 bus its so sad we don't see it anymore
Some enviro 400s have 4 seats near the wheelchair area or 2 seats but I've never seen a enviro 400 with 3 seats near the wheelchair area, also the handle on the staircase is seen on most enviro 400s including modern day ones, the back door has two emergancy door buttons in a flap instead of one, upper deck windows may be the enviro 400MMC shaped ones instead of modern day enviro 400s with a curved square shaped window and
The older buses just look much nicer.
Anton is this a pre-recorded video? I dont know if you noticed but TFL have taken the "please hold on..." Announcements of all buses for 3 weeks now. If that's not the case then the bus you're driving currently still has the announcement on it surprisingly đ€·đŸââ
Vicardi XVIII ...well yes...I have videos pretty recorded!
Sometimes I post on the day...others a week later or some a few weeks later!
I've been on those on the 185. Always avoid those seats in the saloon deck. Bad enough I got on a slighly not so older one on the 185 from Lewisham to Dulwich yesterday (as I missed the P4) and sat at the twin seats with very little padding.
I love this enviro 400 first leeds bus
Those buses have left London đ
@@Randomtv19645 oh
They have a good sound. At Metroline they are named TE.
The 2005/6 enviros TE6s (at Holloway are the best to ride on
I been on them 2007 enviro 400 on the 154 and I sat in the single seatđ
I remember when the old U7 CRN reg buses had that foldable seat in the Wheelchair Space
Tommeades607 1 ....yes I don't see fold up seats on the new buses!
I remember them on the buses in Yorkshire!
DoubleDeckerAnton I think it's to make more space in the Wheelchair Area
Anton, when are you making another video itâs been ages! Lol. I look forward to watching them đđŒ
As a driver of 1st, 2nd and 3rd gen enviro 4's. I can confirm the 1st gen are best to drive. 2nd are a jerky bag of bones, and 3rd are just as jerky, slightly better with voiths.
We have just recently got some of them from metro line
Great videos love them just a quick question why donât you go in the cab when filming or at least open the cab door?
Best bus ever!
Iâm not too sure but I think that this is one of MBâs 07 plates now, it seems like E58 and I can kinda recognise it by the door alarm if Iâm correct lol... if it is actually E58 then it seems like they fixed the doors when they were refurbishing it as they donât close that quickly anymore
i love the enviro 400s they are one of my favourite i would go on roblox and drive this bus on a london bus game :D
I like these videos anton some of the new buses make me feel seasick when the gos around the corners I like the old 90s buses in Wales stagecoach have charge points but I leave in London but I like using the buses all over the UK good work keep the up the good work
Rodney Fisher . Thanks Rodney....yes the new hybrid buses are quite powerful and I like to drive all kinds of buses but these older buses are very good at responding to driver input! âș
Very good choice Anton each bus is unique in terms of design and this is one of my favourite kinds the engine and the seats are amazing very good choice of best bus this is a beast, good cab interior as well
LondonBuses1503 ...yes there are a lot of things that make this a favourite amongst other drivers at the garage!
You might see my dad driving 250 in Brixton when you're doing route 35 or P5.
In Leicester, First had 35 ex-London 2008 Dennis Trident 2s but theyâve replaced them with StreetDecks. Arriva only have the awful facelift of the mk.1, the 2014 model. Thankfully, it was made up for with 35 MMCs, joint by 11 Sapphire variants a year later, which are unfortunately leaving after just 6 months.
My favourite bus is the DAF/VDL DB250, theyâre probably the best sounding buses I know of. Once upon a time we had 44 on the East Lancs Lowlander body from 2001-02 with a further 32 Pulsar Geminis from 2006, then we got a few ALX400s transferred from London during 2011-2013. Sadly, only the Geminis remain.
Ive only been on the east yorkshire ones ive seen the london enviro's when i visit tho' and u r at 29.8k subs 200 more to reach 30k
I sat in the seat behind the driver on the enviro 400
There is a seat behind the cab because the fuel tank is located underneath the bus and these Enviro 400s were new to metroline in late 2005 and to GAL in 2006
Anton the Busses in Blackpool they autoturn off engine when they get to a stop when picking up. bus driver as to start buses every time after pick up from stop. but blackpool busses are so clean
Same is my fav
I like this version with the one seat to the old metroline E400 Hybrid Green leaf had the one seat I'm sure to!
I love Enviro 200âs before 2011. They are so nice and have a rough distinct engine. Stagecoach stockport had loads of 2009 enviro 200âs but sadly half went and the other went in reserve. The most stupid desicion Stockport did was buy 5 Enviro 200 MMCâs which means now their low on buses. Stockport has got loads of 2008 Enviro 400âs and all of the seats are worn and rough and then we have 2009 MAN engines enviro 400âs.
Liftboy 2004 There are 2 08 plate E200 buses on loan at Ashton depot from Middleton. Ashton have scraped their optare solos and the MAN ALX 300 buses are going to be replaced with E200 MMC next year
Manchester Bus Journeys 22397 got scrapped and 22398 and above will be training buses. Look out for 36106-36113. 36105 and below have the better engines. The 2008 Enviro 200âs are the mini ones which have the nice engine but I thought Ashton only have 2011 ones.
Manchester Bus Journeys you got no busses from Middleton to Ashton. It must have just been a one day thing. 36074 is in reserve and you might have got that but I checked stagecoaches fleet list(that updates all the time) and the enviros from Middleton are still there.youve also got two solos left 47618 and 47619.
Liftboy 2004 We've had 36105 all week at Ashton. Video up on my channel soon of it on 342 (Ashton Route). It must be on loan as we had 2 solos that have disappeared so we must be low on buses in Ashton lol
Manchester Bus Journeys Stockport are low on buses because they thought it was clever to get rid of 20 Enviro 200âs for 5 Enviro 200 mmcâs for one route. And the 20 Enviro 200âs were the really nice 2009 ones.
One of these, E60 (LX07BYF) was completely destroyed by fire in the Orpington incident
Ok ok, you've done two videos looking at the lens not too the side so I will grant you my subscription.
Hi Anton!
I would really like to invite you to Sweden.
We have also got double deckers here.
I'm living in Stockholm, and here we have got two double decker routes going north.
I promise you me and my family will take good care of you.

3:04 Wasn't that the normal type of bell in the 2000's, but just added with external casing.
Yeah you're right, I agree with you. Just because a bus is 11 years old back from 2007, dosen't mean it is all rusty and dirty like you exampled the latest 2010 london bus. But the enviro 2010 you said was rusty not filthy.
Just passed my medical today. Got theory next.
We have enviro 400 buses in Basildon
I prefer the ALX 400âs and the original enviro 400âs too:)
I've only driven the enviro 400h and the braking and acceleration seems alright to me. What are the diesel versions like compared to the hybrids?
Great video Anton and I like the old enviro 400s the 2010 Enviros are the worst.
Hey man! Why do you never go in the cab? Otherwise great vid
Miss the cashless busess
my faviroute type of bus (engine wise), is those scania omnicitys as they just fell really fast when being driven
But my faviroute type of bus in genral is the enviro 400, B7TL in which is atchually quite a rare one ofa kind bus apprently and it also belongs to go south coast bluestar bus, Fleet 1851 that also has a seat behind the driver seat same applys to their ex-unilink fleets, now in bluestar livery and thats quite a few fleets that have those seats unlink now has e-400smc with stop/start technology and bluestar has also gotten more-400mcs with said, stop start technology. my other local bus company, xelabus has volvo buses with no emissions, so they run on electrical power when in moving traffic or pulling of from bus stops and when they go over 20mph their diesal engines kick in
is this bus in the black and red livery or the more up to date just red aslo had a old ex london east lancs vyking on a peak service tonight
LX06 and LX56 are the only ones to have the ibus on the pole the rest LX07 onwards have it on where the stopping signs are
I think that you should consider with TFL to launch an awareness campaign for people inorder to improve the sanitation in London's transport system and teach commuters the art of respect to public property. With the new campaign, people will learn about the disrespectfulness in littering buses.
Alexander Dennis enviro 400 trident diesel it's one of your favourites
Anton can you remember the oldest bus you drove, was it in Huddersfield, and was it an auto or semi auto?
I like to sit at the back on the bottom as there's lots of leg room!
Hello Anton... maybe you have spoke about this before but im not sure... do you notice that the turning circle of the new Dennis busses is nowhere near as good as the older Dennis busses? it means that the new ones are more likely to get stuck in tight turns and so on =/..
Well that bus is actually an Enviro 400 Trident.đ
I remember the 57 plate enviros that used to use route 196, they were displaced and now uses rubbish voiths
There is no more "hold on while the bus is moving" and now people just....are surprised, may I say, that the bus is starting to move....dah...
