Welcome to the Smit KZread channel.
On this channel I upload videos on the buses around the UK. I try to upload a variety of operators & mainly focus on the late 1990s - late 2000s era of buses, with the occasional newer bus thrown in.

If you have any suggestions for buses I could film in future, Make sure to comment & I will get around too doing them in the near future.
