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.

Now most of these arriving back to where they started there life Bristol 😊
At my depot of work aswell :)
I miss these buses 🚌. Great video though Matt
Cheers mate!
Indeed she sounds like an absolute Beast but I've heard even louder
It was me!
WHAT A WEIRD SOUND...
That sounds odd?
what gearbox do these have ??
Why were they withdrawn? Emissions i would assume
Age & Emissions. Bristol was introducing a CAZ of which these didn't meet the requirements.
Yeah i know about the caz luckily i wasn't affected
I just barely missed them, they were withdrawn a couple months before i used buses regular
Portsmouth not far would make sense of he said all way to penzance which is far 😂
My favourite old bus
What no smoke coming up from the engine, that’s my memory of them
In my recommended, seems familiar 🧐
Can't imagine why 😉
withdrawn because of its age?
Withdrawn due to replacements arriving & due to not meeting current Euro 6 standards for emissions
Don’t they still operate the 22 in bath?
Yes the 22 is still running at the moment.
Update. Yes they do! Until April when First will take it over & renumber it
Oh, FirstBus are taking over more of ABUS, good job I’m going to try and go to bath in a couple of days. I wonder if ABUS will survive just with a few shopper buses and school buses@@FirstSmit
@@fredstrainandbusvids. They'll still have the R2/R3 & the Winterbourne shopping bus
Thats a pretty old bus
i think its gonna be withdrawn soon
Very Not good sound here!
I've driven that bus. It was a pleasure to drive 😊
Feels strange knowing these are pretty much finished at WoE. Hopefully they find a new home!
69500/1 are bound for Rochdale as driver trainers AFAIK & the rest are bound for Leeds last I heard
I really miss these on the Number 5 to Whiteway the 200 MMC are ok but nothing like the B7RLE
Keep safe weather conditions
I remember going to school and back on one of these buses
Prefer €4 without the loud ZF like this
thought i was the only one
These buses were everywhere when I was a kid. Any idea how many are still around?
No idea sorry! They're lovely rides though.
um why does it say that when the driver is driving?
Description explains it.
@@FirstSmit oh ok
Please apply handbrake
There are 15 plate examples currently residing with East Yorkshire BP15 OLC/OLE/OLG and BG15 RNF/J/N and O
Depends on when they were registered. They could've been built before this but registered after. It's hard to tell, Thanks though.
Sounds like the Bal.ham guard on Southern.
Love the Leyland Atlantean engine
Kickdown at 0:01, 3:38, 5:07, 5:48
That does me a job, Cheers 😂
i edge to this
What? 😂
My all time favourite buses
Definitely the best buses in the world I loved the Leyland Atlantean
Nice video
in india we have all ..we love leyland sound like anything ❤❤❤
and engine sounds very healthy
amazing condition in these b7rles :)
Alot better condition then the ones that remain native to the WoE
Alright I won’t lie, I actually quite enjoyed this!
Someone get me a seat! 😂 Words I never thought I'd hear from you on an Ecolife 😂 TBH it's by far the best I've seen one do up there in a long time! Shame it'll be the last time I see one go up that hill!
Ex West Of England Bus
Correct! Full video on it 27/10/23
Mega Thrash
Pwooarrrhhh 🎉
I miss riding on this bus 😢
Someone preserve it?
Probably not
I mean, if your paying I ain’t gonna say no!
RIP when it retires
Interesting to see it has the new style RATP London interior, since the other Euro 6 buses have their own green ones! I’d be amazed if this had kickdown to be fair, it would be Sensotop if anything at all. Which I would also be surprised if it possessed
RATP own Bath Bus Company as far as I know mate, judging by the floor of this bus I’ve a hunch this may have been dealer stock with moquette replacement
@@neoman7792 Yes indeed they do own BBC. But until now, no new stock ordered for the company ever has RATP moquette similar to that of London
Wasn't a permanent hoover once apon a time. Shame how Norwich depots are letting them get as bad as this.
About standard for First Bus maintenance to be honest 😂
This used to be one of my favourites sounds good when it doesn't hoover, sounds terrible now, there isn't many of them at all that aren't permanent hoovers
Last time I drove this we had a rain storm and rain poured into the cab through the ceiling. It eventually shorted out the dashboard switchgear causing it to break down at the hospital.
@@cmeonthemove sounds about right for every bus of that era, West of Englands 2000 reg B7s use to leak water horrendously.
32205 is the loudest I think
Since when did an A4 exist
Its an airport bus like the A1
@@FirstSmitbut I've never seen a bus with A4 on its hanover
@@NotIdealAnimations88 Because it runs from Bath not Bristol. Goes through Keynsham and round the back end of Hengrove, I did it when it had SK52 plate ALX400/B7TLs
The derated engine the National B series like this got sound more relaxed. Less power, less worries. They do look bland without the pod.
We didn't have those buses in Ecuador. 😢🚌
They did used to have them in Venezuela, in Caracas.
**3rd Like** Your videos are truly amazing dude! Keep up the good work!
Cheers! Have no plans on stopping, So there is plenty more to come!
@@FirstSmit likewise.
