I'm so glad that they took out the engines on these buses and placed it on the route 227 Crystal Palace to Bromley North (2012 number plates), they still move really fast.
How the fuck are people buying this stupid shit? Nobody would ever do that If they did, that would actually downgrade the 227 Citaros from Euro 5 to Euro 3....
Oh of course, it's the Ealing Hospital section. I'm thinking, "What space does the 207 actually have for such kickdown, completely missing out on the Hayes to Uxbridge section?"
Yes, the driver was enjoying it. Also had a Stagecoach bendy on the 207 on the same day, but the video didn't make the cut due to insufficient kickdown usage!
@@nate9457 Hi Nathaniel, these routes were operated by First London. However, they did hire some Stagecoach (and Go-Ahead!) Citaro-Gs for service on the 18 and 207 shortly before the lot were withdrawn. I travelled on a Stagecoach example on the 207 the day this video was taken, but it never got uploaded because the driver wasn't flooring it!
Awesome video it's a shame there not in London service anymore (would have been especially needed for socially distancing in this current situation 😳) and there are not many bendybuses in the UK but at least many countries in continental Europe have them and still continue to purchase them in the future
it's because most of our roads are too small for the bendy buses to go around and knowing how old most of London is it's not a common occurrence and they courage fare dodgers like the Boris buses have done
@@ChilternTransportProductions I know that the 436s batch went to Bristol right after they were withdrawn, not sure where they are now though. I know the 453s batch went to Brighton to work the 25, however I’m not too sure where the 12s batch went. For all I know majority of them did get scrapped but not straightaway.
Love the sound of these buses, will miss riding on them

Jayvoltage253 they put old engines in newer buses?!
They don't.
They would never do that. The LX12 plates on the 227 have ZF Gearboxes, these are voith.

In 2012, Ex bendy buses may have be seen at Waterloo garage

I doubt it, some have been transferred for work elsewhere in the country.
After the bendy bus withdrawal, there were still Mercedes Benz Citaros, not the bendy ones, just the single ones without the bellows
Yeah they're on the 108 at the moment but they are soon getting withdrawn too.

@@oforid2227 the roads have become more smaller as a result of cycle lanes being built nearly everywhere especially in the city centre
@@DanielsUKT yes those idiots who think they own the road
Kickdown London has one of the ex 25 Stagecoach and Brighton Bendy Buses if you want to ride one
Great video.☺️
Great Video

@@ChilternTransportProductions weirdly enough one of them went to poland
Most bendies seem to have been scrapped. 2-300 have been exported and a few remain for sale in the UK in an as withdrawn from London condition.
