- Hello everybody, and welcome back to Preserved Bus Adventures!
It's been a little while since we last did a video on the Volvo B7RLE, we did aim to do one a bit sooner, but as you'll see it's not for want of trying! But anyway at last the stars have aligned and we're able to take the bus out for another run.
We're off to Chorley today, a nice distance to blow the cobwebs off, as well as pick up some tools to tinker about with a few bits and bobs. The assault screen has been fixed now so it fully opens (and stays open), as well as replacing some of the old cushions with brand new (ish) ones. It's been an absolutely great day, and I hope you all enjoy coming along for the ride!

Running a preserved vehicle is an expensive hobby. If you'd like to help with the costs, consider donating to my paypal! For as little as £1 you can help me fuel the vehicles so the buses can go to more rallies, and we can bring you more great videos!

Love the the fact you own a bus! or two.. we've talked about it and never done it. Good for you Joe! All the best
Thanks Nick! You absolutely should go do it, other than the immense cost it's great fun :D
The Eclipse is one of the best buses Volvo have produced inn my opinion. Absolute workhorses. Well done Joe!
They really are lovely vehicles, got to get the B10BLE on the road now as a comparison :D
@@JoeDobsongaming please do haha! I used to own a B6LE Crusader a few years back.
@Joe Dobson love how u drove through blackburn and you drove past my school as well
@@JoeDobsongamingnice to see the B7RLE out again
"I am quite handy with a spanner" holds a screwdriver
I was waiting for somebody to notice that 🤣🤣
these travel videos are always soooo chilled and theraputic to watch! Joe your voiceovers are so professional you have an amazing voice for narration!
Thanks Beck G! Really glad you like the content 🥰
Nice to see ex-TWM metrobus 3063 (F63 XOF) is still alive and kicking
You could have got a bendy bus around that corner with those cars sitting there.
Absolutely loving these bus adventures, can't wait for more!
Great video Joe thanks for taking your time and effort doing these videos they are a fun watch
Love it mate, Danny made the long trip to come for ride with you.I miss all this adventure that we used to do back in 2016.
I was waiting to see the real pop up saying you skipped a stop like it does on Bus simulator lol 😆
Darn it! I should have done that haha
Who else is glad that Joe doesn't drive the same in real life as in omsi lol? Just kidding, nice to see some real life bus driving!
Beautiful livery and beautiful bus, you are incredibly lucky to have a bus
Those graphics look like real life 😮😮😂😂
Your driving is amazing!
Just brilliant to own a bus
Great video! I own my own bus under preservation here in Australia, a Custom Coaches Mk88 MB O405 (with a W3E110 gearbox!). It's definitely a great hobby, a very expensive one at that.
Nice buses to ride on. However, i much prefer the Atlanteen and Fleetline.
Excellent bus to own and I do love a B7
oh my days!! 🤯
you're driving where i live?! 😱
awesome content dude, keep up the good work!! 🙏
It's a good thing you weren't thinking you were playing OMSI! Christ!
Awesome video Joe! Really enjoyed it! Very relaxing 😌
I love these B7RLE Buses I really like the sound of them
I love you and your Videos Joe and your B7RLE looks great 👍🏼 I wish it had a flip Dot Sign Joe
Great video Joe.
Thanks Will! :D It was great fun to make
Got to say that the Volvos are nice drives, I enjoyed them. My favourite bus to drive though is the B10bs.
Love you own a bus now!, Good luck with your B7RLE
It's a bit mental haha, thanks ArrivaAshton!
Incredible Video! Very Jealous, looking forward to future videos! Really hope we get to see more of the on going work like at the End where you vlogged the Seats getting changed and Maybe a Video going into some of the costs involved i.e Insurance, Tax, Purchase Etc. (For those of us that aspire to save some Buses our self's)
Nice video, Looks a very smooth drive like it’s sister we still have.
Thanks Cam 😊
We have just lost our Stagecoach 05 plate B7RLE'S 21212 and 21213 they are believed to be for disposal according to the fleet movements. They have been replaced with more B7RLE'S over from Manchester way. A few years ago a majority of the local fleet were B7'S.
Amazing stuff.
Glad you think so! It was great fun :D
Yea i love it if i could i would own my own bus that is a beautiful bus absolutely perfect
@Joe Dobson love how u drove through blackburn and you drove past my school as well
OMSI 2 getting more and more realistic
Good to see you Joe
Thanks embuses! Good to see you too!
I love these videos keep it up Joe
Thanks! Will do! Really kind of you to say :)
Can't wait for episode 4!
I can’t wait to record it!
When is the next town and district open day, didn’t realise you was in great harwood, I’m only in Oswaldtwistle. Wouldn’t mind coming to see the buses! 😀
Amazing Video Joe
Glad you enjoyed it!
Lol you remind me of my Jamaican grandma when she used to say "if yuh nah use it yuh go lose it" 🤣🤣
I shall take that as a compliment! She sounds like a wise woman!
@@JoeDobsongaming she was God rest her soul
Loved the video!!
Thank you for featuring in it! :D
@@JoeDobsongaming roll on episode 4!!
Any plans regarding Dewsbury running day? Be nice to see what youve done to the bus :)
That's quite stupid of the council to have a parking space in a spot that restricts the movement of large vehicles, right next to a garage full of large vehicles.
The spaces have probably been there for a lot longer than the transport trust, but yeah it is still stupid
It's a shame they can't relocate the parking spaces elsewhere, but such is life I suppose!
Yeah the spaces were there first haha
@@JoeDobsongaming this is a bit of a random question but say they held a running event and someone parked there then what do they do?
cool vid live always
Thanks dangerponim plays! :D
really enjoy these vids. hope you do more
More to come hopefully! Really glad you like the videos Bradley!
I found you through City Bus Manager, and have found I really enjoy these videos. I must admit, I didn't know bus preservation and bus rallies were a thing! I'm definitely learning a lot on your channel. I think it could be really cool if you had a 360 camera on the bus so we could look around while you drive, it'll be like we're really there with you as you bring us around.
Looking forward to more bus content!
Enoying the real life bus content, have you ever thought about working for a bus company, I've been a bus driver for nearly 6 years now, must be fun to drive your own bus and not have to pick passengers up😜
You need to do more bus adventures.
LOVE THE VID joe
Thanks Jamie!
woohoo ❤
let me guess badger will get your bus sounds for omsi for the classics?
9:01 I saw you at Chorley bus station I was waiting for my bus
In omsi 2 how do you use the throttle and move the bus on windows 10?? Love your vids❤❤❤
Awesome video joe from Alan in Lowestoft
Thanks Alan! 😄
@JoeDobsongaming your welcome buddy
I’m training in 66762, drives like a rocket.
Used to drive that in York, great bus.
When did you do this?
9:01 I saw you I was at the bus station that day you was recording
is this your bus ? you look younger than me and have got a bus how dd u do it ? advice please ? im a full licence holder so i can carry passengers on buses aswell and came off driving them last year for reasons that wont stop me driving them again
Good graphics on this one. What graphics card are you using?
RTX 8090 😝
What happened to the B10BLE
Loved driving these when i worked out of Halifax, however worst one i had was 66781 with its dodgy breaks and oversensitive GreenRoad
I never really cared for 66780 when I used to travel on it, but having said that it's a beautiful machine underneath! :D
If i’m right in thinking you can drive a 30+ year old bus on a car license and i saw for £5k an ex hong kong alexander bodies leyland olympian the temptation to get that and convert it into a campervan was seriously tempting
My question is how are you transporting passengers do you have a operators license and CPC/PCV when you do take passengers
No operators license/CPC required but I do hold a full PCV license. As they’re not fare paying passengers a PCV license is sufficient
Are you planning on starting your own bus company and do actual fares?
Any London vids soon day 1 of asking
Wait so if you don't use it, they will take it from you. What will they do if you didn't use it at all?
Nobody’s going to take it away if its not used, using it just gives a chance for everything to move and keep working.
Joe I beg you to get a go-pro, get a head strap for it and then do headcam/POV driving!! PLEASEE
Any info on the metrobus? And are you supposed to cover up the previous company’s logos? 👍
That Metrobus suggests it’s ex West Midlands judging by the destination box
@@Trident4544 yeah looks like it past to greenbus after
I'm not allowed to take it to bus rallies with the current livery, this was more just an update on the progress. The final aim is to get it painted in First Barbie :) As for the Metrobus, I'm not sure to be honest with you.
It’s ex West Midlands F63XOF (3063)
Since i subscribed to mancbuses and Jordan , you get one to.
Out of interest what's the crack with insurance?
As a bus driver for blackpool transport, not going to lie mate but we have routes that use same size buses that have turns as bad if not worse than that. It was definitely doable pal.
How much is the insurance on a bus must be a fortune?
Why did you not have a ticket machine
Over a year ago?
No way i live in Chorley! Great vid
Aww we'd have waved if we'd seen you!! :D
Please do more b7rle videos joe
Hey why have to charge the battery????
Hi Aotearoa936! With the Eclipse having so many electrical systems on board even when the isolator is on, it still drains a small amount of power. We get round this now by disconnecting the batteries when we're leaving the site to avoid them going flat :)
@@JoeDobsongaming cool thanks
You need to make a motor home out of a bus.
So your an actual Bus driver?!
I have a bus driving license :) But I don't do it for a job :)
do people hail you?
Looks nice so far...
I think you should replace those white & yellow license plates with black plates in order to make the vehicle look older than it actually is to those not in the know.
I would also recomend that you try driving this down some really narrow roads to test your skills on driving this bus, could end up being a real challange but don't go down a byway...
i didn't know that you have a bus license
I do 😁
This is omsi 2 in unreal engine 5
565th like
Who on earth have a bus to "go for a ride sometimes"???
Aaand factory spec bus for all busses... if it was a "house on wheels" or a bus with a "monster engine" i would kinda of understand
once i get my solars i can not drive them
Is it just me or did anyone else see Joe's wedding ring ? I had no idea you were married for Joe, you've probably been married for a while but if you haven't been congrats mate .
U dont want to wrap a B7rle round me (im called lamppost)
Ur good with a spanner cos u are one (jk)
Grate video joe I love your bus and I am enjoying these videos keep them up
Thanks Imran! I love the B7 too! I'll try get videos of the buses done on a more regular basis! :D
@@JoeDobsongaming it would be nice if you got your other bus going
@@JoeDobsongaming 😁😁
I want a fackin' bus!
Great bus! However HD CONNECT > HX CONNECT
Hmmmmmmmm :P we shall agree to disagree haha :D (The bus is good though I agree with that!) :D
