Favourite Bus

Hi what is your personal favourite bus? Mine is Brisbane transport MAN ng313 with a custom coaches cb60 Evo 2 body.

 

Bristol RELH coach. Best ever road vehicle with a beautiful melodious Gardner engine and transmission.

 

Devon General Atlantean 925 “Sea Dog”. Open top. Happy Memories or riding along the sea front in Torbay.

 

Nice picks of bus.

 

Was my childhood

With that Voith gearbox, love that sound.

One of my favs is the Wright Renown B10BLE

Deffo in this livery as I used to get it home from school.

 

Really liked the livery on this one when I was younger, they’re not around anymore and got replaced several times (they use to show up as a replacement but I haven’t seen them do that for a while)

 

Going back to the time I was on a family holiday in Vancouver, I saw these driving around;

The Flyer E902 trolley bus. I was enraptured by the total novelty as a kid, the shutter doors, the wires, the contact poles, that tilted back window. It didn't look old but it didn't look new either.

 

Here's my favourite bus: Stagecoach East Scotland's Alexander Dennis/TransBus Enviro300 numbered 27598 (SN04 EGF), (ex Manchester as well)

 

Probably optare solo as it was my childhood local

 

That Solo SR is up by me now

 

My favourite would be this designline trolleybus, unfortunately all were retired in 2017, except for one which was converted to a hybrid bus which I had the pleasure of riding on a few weeks back.

 

Where do they run?

 

They ran in Wellington, New Zealand.

 

I prefer this version of it myself.

The thrash was the best!

 

Mine is a nostalgia bus--the earliest CTA articulated buses, which were just awesome as a kid. The highlight, of course, was the inward-facing two-person seats on the rotating platform at the join, which was like being on a mini-carnival ride that lasted the length of a trip.

 

Here's another bendy bus for the sweet bus pile, purely because it's another B10;

The Wright Fusion.

And while were here, the Wright Eclipse Fusion along with it.

 

That looks wrong to me. I'm not used to seeing bendy eclipse busses.

 

I'm not used to seeing bendy buses at all in the UK! Down my area you never get those!

 

Same up here. It's very very rare to see one in Glasgow. I'm not sure if we've ever had one there!

 

My fave bus is MAN ng313 Custom coaches from brisbane transport:

 

I don't know a lot about Buses but for me it's the Bristol VR, I remember seeing these as a young child on Holiday in Weymouth in the 1980s and seeing them in their green colours has stuck with me ever since. Whenever I'm at a Bus gala and I see one doing trips I always make it a priority to travel on.

As a child, I loved riding on this Bus.

 

Got to ride a bendy bus today, and even got a seat on the join!

 

Oooh! I rode one of those when I went on holiday to Boston like a decade ago. Their very cool!

 

Was it comfortable?

I can't imagine so, especially when the bus is turning.

 

It's really fun actually!

 

It's on a rotating platform that moves with turns and bumps, so no problem. That's what makes it fun.

 

dual door artics are wierd
