Gemini through the Kent Downs - Arriva 6151 (UUI2906) on the 402

I finally got motivation to edit again 😂
Arriva Kent (officially Arriva Kent and Surrey despite them not operating there for a year now!) have a great variety of older double decks still in service, mainly buses formerly from other Arriva divisions (mainly from Midlands and London) and buses ordered in the early 2000s as part of 'Operation Overdrive', where all the B7TL/ALX400s were ordered.
6151 specifically is originally a Midlands bus, registered as 'FJ56 OBN' in September 2006. The bus spent 14 years in Leicester until 2020-2021, when it was transferred to Arriva Thameside running out of Northfleet depot operating on their few decker-capable routes (423, 480/490) until July 2021, where ...

Rather unexpectedly, at the beginning of May there were limited articulated/bendy bus workings on South Western Railway rail replacements on the Putney lines out of Clapham Junction. Obviously many enthusiasts went after it, as the nearest public bendies (excluding airport shuttles) to London are those in Brighton, so here’s my version of its performance through the fastest A316 section between...

Had an issue with the title as I was uploading from mobile, sorry for the temporary take-down so I could correct the details and permissions! Here’s the now withdrawn 8310, registered X567 EGK, when it was out on its final day on 9th October 2021, running the LEZ avoidance route from North Cheam to Dorking via Epsom. Hope you enjoy this epic bus! © FBExplores, 2022 Do not use without explicit p...

Fairly average route, filmed this with LT65 when we went on a loop of west London on an unhealthy number of rail replacements… Route’s a 6/10, would do it again but the A10 takes half the time for direct journeys and since I filmed this last year I’ve used that route much more often.

The Sunday 102 makes for some quick driving, so here’s Carousel’s 878, registered BT09GPE, and previously owned by Go-Ahead London as MEC48, running from Waterloo garage on Red Arrow services 507 and 521. Filmed between Denham, Springbridge Nurseries and Gerrards Cross, East Common. Sorry for the slightly late start to the clip, but as the bus didn’t stop at the traffic lights I didn’t want to ...

Old footage from April 2021. Took the oppurtunity to film this route due to how rare it is for double deckers to do this route. In hindsight I wish I filmed on a 65 from Kingston to Malden Rushett so that I could construct a FRV visual of the 465, even if there were diversions in Kingston and Mickleham. Hope you enjoy the scenery! © FBExplores, 2022. Do not use without explicit permission.

The Carousel Buses 105, running from Uxbridge to Chesham via Denham, Gerrards Cross, Chalfont St Peter, Chalfont St Giles, and Amersham, has quite a complicated history given that the 105 itself has only existed since 2018. In 2009, Carousel introduced the A30 service, which ran from Heathrow Central to Chesham non-stop from Heathrow to Uxbridge via the current 724 route, then via the current r...

If you ever see this bus out in the wild, my recommendation is to go for it! L18NNL, owned by Lianne Coaches of Thorpe, is a Wright Solar/Scania L94UB that was previously owned by Go North East coded as 5224 and registered as NK54 NVX, branded for their 'Loop' 93/94 services out of Riverside garage. This bus is normally found on SWR rail replacements, with recent appearances during the weekly S...

Here's my first TfL visual in a while! The 80 is an interesting route, partly because it serves a fairly unusual set of locations. The route starts at HMP High Down/Downview, a pair of prisons that are both (technically) in Surrey, meaning this route technically is a cross-border route, even if it only actually serves one stop in Surrey. The route then serves the Belmont to Sutton corridor, in ...

Today, the South Western Main Line was closed, yet again, between Clapham Junction and Woking/Effingham Junction/Hampton Court/Kingston (via Wimbledon). Therefore, rail replacement buses were laid on, with roughly 50% of services running non-stop between Clapham Junction and Surbiton via the A3, and the other 50% running all stations via Wimbledon through to either Kingston then Surbiton, or Ha...

Whilst I was in western Cornwall over the summer, I went out on the bus network there a lot! Here is First Kernow Plaxton President bodied Trident 33182, now sadly withdrawn, on ‘The Tinner’ service T1 towards Penzance between Hayle, Foundary Square and Whitecross, Cockwells Turn. This bus had a great driver who (if I recall correctly) was late, making for a very fast journey helped by Cornwall...
