So when we think of Belfast buses we do automatically think of lots of pink vehicles...and we aren't wrong! In this video I assess the Belfast Metro network by Translink, looking at their vehicles, routes and how the successful Glider (see that video here: • The Glider Bus Rapid T... ) is integrated in a good fashion.

That Dennis trident at 2:04 is ex stagecoach London V204 MEV it was as soon as it was withdrawn from service it got bought by Golden tours in London and then 2016 Allen’s tours Belfast bought the vehicle and then the vehicle got sold to city tours belfast
Around the seatbelts also, it’s a case of certain buses have them and others don’t, most buses with pink bars have seatbelts, some don’t, even the 2017 versas don’t have them
What is the mode of transport in Northern Ireland , I am new to Belfast . Also how to book tickets cheapest
Hey there. I'll be travelling to northern ireland soon and I would like to know what is the best ticket or travel card that shoud I buy that includes all the journeys in metro, trains and buses across the country? (not just belfast) thanks in advance
And more central next time you come to Belfast go and get the 215 or 515 or 516 to Downpatrick or 215b I drive for Downpatrick now so I tend to drive the streetdecks in country roads aswell And more central we have now battery eletric and hydrogen buses at the time of you filming this we had 3 hydrogen buses
If you happen to know about the ticketing system and the travel zones, could you please tell me about it?
that ALX on the 94 is a more modern one as it had the same dash style as a B9
EEZ reg one new in 2005, doesn’t have the same dash as a B9 but has a more modern dash than the older B7s but does have the same Steering wheel as the B9s and B5s
The ALX 400 you saw at 9:19 is now waiting to get scrapped
I think TCZ 9960 has been sent to Hamills in Ahoghill for scrap, unsure
It has and is waiting with sister 2955 and 2968
A nice little insight of Belfast, but if we are to see the views, you should get upstairs and sit at the front.
Fun fact bus TCZ 9960 believe it or not is ex Ulsterbus Newtownabbey as well as TCZ 9961
Ooo very nice, I wasn't aware of that till you mentioned it!
@@AndMoreCentral I think it was in metro when it was delivered and it was transfered over in 2018 for schoolbus work but it came back to metro in metro 2021 for volvo b9tls getting upgraded to euro 5 i think
@@dentists2220 2960 has went for scrap..
Another fun fact TCZ 9960 bumper was taken off and put on display inside the depot building at short strand
that City Sightseeing Belfast Volvo B7TL Gemini SFZ 7967 Was Reg YK55 ATX
Stephen I have to drive it for citysightseeing duties it’s not a bad b7 it’s from transdermal coastlines
You need to get a ride on Ulsterbus Urby the streetdecks catch up to speed in 10 seconds
Ah thats good, maybe I'll sample one on my next visit
@@AndMoreCentral come to visit the europa Ulsterbus Urby I will make sure to bring 3123 (the mask bus) and do some kickdown on it as I also work for Ulsterbus Urby for great Victoria Street
I like the buses but I find that 99% of the drivers are rude and don't reply to you when you say hi or thanks. Ruder than London in my opinion.
@sun Just get a daylink card and top it up for £15.
