- Hello It's Ant, been off for a week and we've come back to work to begive the opportunity to work away at Blackburn Bus Co, So I've tried my best capture the day. I hope you enjoy.
Let me know in the comments!
Hey Anthony, another great video! do you have any idea when Blackburn are going to retire their B10s? Because I hope to ride them sometime soon
Hello good question I don't really know. But I would Hazard to guess that is not far off. One of them had been parked up at the back of yard recently and on the 4/22 more opters and bl7 have been doing the routes. I would of thought once Harrogate get it's new buses and Rochdale closes then they might start to replace them.
The B10s if I'm not mistaken have been in service with blackburn bus company for 20 years!
@@MCRTransitYT I believe 20 years plus. I learnt on the B10 that I use to take to school. They have been reliable and faithful to us ☺️
@@anthonyleecooke thanks I really appreciate the response looks like I’m gonna have to ride them this Feb half term then
@@anthonyleecooke I used Burnley bus company’s for ages to get to college they were amazing B2 TDV and B6 TDV were my favourite because they had a loud amazing zf gearbox whine they were in the fleet for 22 years! Until they were widrawn last summer
I actually love watching your videos there so funny and your such a nice guy in person when I get the bus 🎉keep the good work up
Oh thank you, Im Just trying to show the world a different side of the industry and trying to make peoples days a little bit better stop by stop
Enviro200 mmcs are actually so good to be a passenger on And I use the 1 to get to blackburn from Bolton
Really nice to drive take a moment to get use to some of the features but overall I do enjoy driving them and I hope to get more time on them soon 😁
Loving these vids, your like the new flat cap bus driver :D
But better. Because it's in Lancashire
@@CaersethVarax did you assume we're in from
Oh I do miss Flat cap bus driver. I hope he's okay
Great video, nice to see other routes featured!
We normally do the 464 route. Hopefully I can get more routes soon.
I ride the number 1 basically weekly, I called them fancy buses at first 😂
Good buses. Very nice to drive
didnt know driving buses were a hobby, nice to see my home station. 🔥🔥
Oh it's it's great I have some much fun 😁
Hi mate first post on here. Enjoy your bus driving vids a lot find it very interesting. Your doing nothing wrong at all as I watch them when I can
Thank you, It's just having to learn about CZcams algorithm making sure you all getting them and not getting lost in the ether. thank you for watching them.
Another great bus video keep it up mate. And at 6:20 it’s adl e200mmc
Oh thank you. I appreciate it I'm still learning all our fleet and all the models numbers. But thank you for watch I appreciate it ☺️
@@anthonyleecooke np mate keep up the work you do any chances of more bus videos a week?
@@J4CK574 I'm trying to get more recorded but just I like the time to edit but watch this space
@@anthonyleecooke I don’t understand what you’ve put there
@@J4CK574 sorry. Eating cheese on toast lol. I'm going to try to record more videos and bring out s couple a week. It's just been difficult because of using my phone to record then downloading it to edit them took way too long but I've recently made a purchase to help me with it. Sorry I hope that explains a bit better
In bolton they use stand a for drop off, but stand b (for 1) and c (534, 535, 537) are used for overflow drop off
I believe so but when speak to our transport team this week they did say that bee network has been warned about it again.
Great video keep up the great job 👏
Oh thank you very much I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Very nice vid, coming to Blackburn today might see u. If not ay well.
Be around in Accrington at some point. Have a good day 😊
@@anthonyleecooke Will be getting the 1 to Bolton
@@UKTransportExplorer oh I'm sorry I won't see you. Maybe next time 😄
b10s are nice but really glad optare versa (and if im right i saw the odd solo there to) are still being used, we got rid of % of yours in my town as the silly company sold theres off. there cute nimble busses that i enjoyed going on.
The Solo don't run anymore in our town and I'm Really gutted as i've been able to drive on. Maybe when the do a fleet update we might get some more if the routes are tight but I know a few drivers who love the little solo's
@@anthonyleecooke awww man that sucks. they were so amazing. they were the best medium size busses (used to go on them smaller shopper busses from 99 with my gran so ive been on smaller) but the solos were my main childhood. they were connection to colledge after secondary school and most of my childhood i just got a day ticket for the sake of it and rode to the end of the line, wonderful memories on them solos. miss em but sadly i cant turn back the clock or put myself in a time loop. just glad i manadged to see you drive one for a bit. very awesome to see some are still in the uk.
Great video i need to do a journey on blackburn bus co again!
Thank you very much. Well if you've ever around come and say hello.
@@anthonyleecooke I will do! Take care anthony
Good video 👍
Much appreciated thank you 😊
Shame they don't use Bristol RE's anymore as I think you would have loved them. Especially the growl of the engine and the whine of the gearbox.
They made some really good buses.
Good video new subscriber here
Thank you very much I appreciate it 😊
Have you drove the ribble gemini yet on the 464 or Blackburn bus co?
I've not had the vehicle familiarity training for that bus yet so I can't drive it
Must have taken you ages to travel to there rather than Rosso. I hope they reimbursed you all of those travel expenses ;)
Perks of the job. Free travel 😆
Good video ,, are you still based at the Blackburn transport depot at intack ?
Based at intack working for Rosso Bus co . Some times I get the pleasure of working for Blackburn bus co
And thank you for your comments 😊
Is that in West Lothian?
Blackburn Lancashire
@@anthonyleecooke oh
It happens more that you think
@@anthonyleecooke yes ig
Hi, just out of curiosity, do they have Monday to Friday duties at This company? Thanks
There's a possibility it's best contacting the company. New drivers going out to Rosso on the 464 1st before getting the opportunity to transfer to Blackburn bus company
@@anthonyleecooke Thanks pal 👍🏻
No worries I'm happy to answer it
I’ve seen 234 and the damage and that is going cost quite abit of money to fix
They will sort it
@@anthonyleecooke hopefully cause it’s a good bus
what camera do u use to record
The last couple of videos I use my phone which is pixel 8 pro but I've switched to DJI osmo 3 and that will be used going forward
Bus 🚍 454
Again not sure
Bus 🚍 455
Sorry I don't understand.
