  • Doubledeckeranton boards the 'final Arriva 176 bus' departing Tottenham Court Road at 0034 on a cold wet Friday Night in London.
    As the bus crosses Waterloo bridge, Anton takes in the 'sights and lights' of the City of London Skyline.
    Anton informs the passenger's that they are on their final Penge bound bus operated by Arriva South before brand new Enviro Hybrid buses (from another London bus company) take over the route 20 minutes later!
    Anton realises the passenger's have had a long week at work and are not responding in a jubilant mood with the good news he has shared!
    Anton would like to thank all the Arriva bus drivers at Norwood garage for their many years of service on route 176 ...🚍👏😀👍☺👌...

    You've got some courage Anton to ask a bus load of passengers about which company operates the route they are travelling on. Great view across the river looking towards St Pauls with all the buildings lit up. It was always a dream of mine to finish my bus driving career (which lasted 48 years) in London but I somehow don't think its going to happen unless a miracle happens!

      Hi Ken. Sorry for the late reply. There are 100s of replies to do and I cant get back to everybody.
      Yes It would be great if you could ha e driven Londons buses at the end of your career. Maybe we can arrange something in the future as i know how well you looked after me and many other drivers in Huddersfield for all those years of service driving and in the union...!!!

    Nice Video Anton! The passengers didn’t care one bit 😂😂 They point is to get from A To B, but it is different to us bus enthusiasts!

    Amazing video Anton, these VLA's will be dearly missed. ): Are you going to be driving the 188 and 176? Passengers think us enthusiasts are crazy but ignore them.

  • @kevingraham2733
    @kevingraham2733 Před 6 lety +3

    haha Anton the excitement from the passengers was too much to bare! Hope your depot is not losing too many routes mate and you get new routes to drive.

  • @LondonBuses1
    @LondonBuses1 Před 6 lety +11

    Seems bonkers that Go Ahead are so anti social media...You would think they would be behind a driver sharing positive stories (gaining a new route is hardly something to hide from!!)

    Honestly Anton, londoners are soooooo, miserable, as you get off the bus EVERYONE says thank you to the driver where I live ( in south England ) none of the driver complain about stress and it is a pleasure to be here, the air is so clean and people are happy

      You still have the 35 and 40

  • @antcraft3590
    @antcraft3590 Před 6 lety +3

    This is quite cool, but the school buses serving my school in Gloucestershire are formed of two old London buses. They still have the tfl posters in them too. It's a shame that one of the buses have now been repainted since starting in September, with the other to likely to be repainted soon too :( All the decals were removed when they started, but they were still red with the white paint on the roof.

  • @MPsNewswatch
    @MPsNewswatch Před 6 lety +1

    I went to Norwood Garage a few months back to pick up some lost property. Drivers couldn't be any more friendly. However, as much as the VLA's will be missed, I won't miss the roar of the engine as they go past my flat.
    I went on one of the new EH's today. More modern, although I did like the seats on the VLA's.

  • @BabyRosieFan82
    @BabyRosieFan82 Před 6 lety +21

    Lol Anton, the passengers don't care about buses. 😂
    Only us bus enthusiasts do. It's a bit annoying though when they just sit there and stare at us, thinking we are crazy. At least you are a bus driver...
    I tell my friends that the 188 is getting Gemini 3s for example and they say "Oh, okay."
    I think I know why you couldn't film the 176 with it's new contract. I think you said before but is your company against filming on buses, or are drivers just not allowed to film on their particular buses from that particular garage?

    • @DoubleDeckerAnton
      @DoubleDeckerAnton  Před 6 lety +4

      LondonBabyRosalinaFan82*•. ..yes...bus drivers can film other buses etc...but they cannot film their employers!

    • @londonbuses1128
      @londonbuses1128 Před 6 lety +1

      funny how all the passengers of the 267 are talking about the LT that has entered service, everyone is asking the driver why it is on the route.

  • @tonyknox4415
    @tonyknox4415 Před 6 lety

    I was a bus driver for 12 years up an till 2 years ago with go- Ahead ( camberwell ), on the 45's for 11 years sad to see them go across to Abellio, as for the 176 I live near Penge so I got on the 176 every day to go to and from work, all the 176 drivers will know me by face but not necessarily by name, it's going to be weird seeing the 176 in go-ahead livery but thanks for your service Arriva

    HI Double Deacker Anton I saw you last night on the last 176 I started at around 15:30 I travelled on all the VLA's that was running it was sad to see the last one leave Tottenham Court Road empty to the garage for the last time

I am part of a bus club called the taybus vintage verchel society and we have the buses that had the middle doors on them and we restore them and I could send you pictures of the buses we restore. If you would like to send pictures of them please let me know and I will send you pics. P.s the buses where called volvo ailsa.

      They use a few on the route may be one or two 3 max, but the Arriva 417 are usually enviro buses or brand new hybrid Volvo buses Gemini.
