I throughly enjoyed watching this, I smiled during everything I thought everything explained about the history the depots the names for these MAN's were incredible and I have to say this is probably one of the best Farewell videos I've seen as MAN's have been dropped down here it's so good to see them being celebrated 1 more time and Just Robin the MAN expert and lover number 1 being here makes for a great video. I thought everything he explained was well thought out and clear and if it wasn't for him and his interest of these buses I wouldn't be sitting here watching the today, I've learnt so much about these and as I always have enjoy his MAN videos ever since I saw one of 22632 in 2021 so it just brings me back to the time where I started seeing my interest in these and learn more about the fleet, of them and got to say he will always be the prime member of the community for upholding such great buses that are known as. ''unreliable''. These buses will hold a big part of the community especially from robins view and the original MAN engines hands down makes them better. I will miss the YN MAN's so will for the OU09/10's they are perfect buses and yutongs may be good but will never compare to these, there's a reason why some of the KX09's got saved.

We have one left in chesterfield. I dread getting allocated it, because it is allergic to going uphill. It sounds brilliant but I’m not a big fan of it’s huge steering wheel 😂

Seems about right for an MAN E300, lots of noise but not a lot of go go juice ahaha

are there plans for the 09 ones dotted around the north east that were new to stockton sticking about for a while? a couple have trickled out of newcastle and gone back home to teesside recently, and just wondering how long they've got left, along side the last alx300 and the original e300s. and even the darts in hartlepool and south shields

Thank you!

I think 22761 is withdrawn as that moved to my local morecambe depot a while ago and has since been withdrawn in 2023 I think

Hull is still overrun with them.

Like the tables at the back not keen on the sound of the engine

If you can do it next month though I highly doubt it, I'd highly recommend going to Exeter as it's a great place to film buses at and I'd definitely recommend getting the Green Park & Ride from the high street as it uses MAN Enviro 300's which have very unique seats.

Basically seats like in the Stagecoach Gold Scania E400's (2009-2015 models) but blue basically 😊.

Strange question but how would you go about purchasing a withdrawn vehicle

@pacerchaser9434

25 күн бұрын

Contact the operator via their contact details (usually by email) and express your interest in buying whatever type of vehicle you want. If any are available they will send you a price, usually with tyres separate as bus companies don't generally own the tyres.
