[HD] POWERED BY GAS - A new home for the Anglian gas buses | Plymouth City Bus

- The city of Plymouth has been blessed with a major upgrade to its bus services as its main operator, Plymouth City Bus, acquires 13 Ex Anglian CNG gas powered MAN EcoCity buses which are all beautifully wrapped in Caetano bodywork, very nice machines indeed. 1 of the buses is not road worthy as it suffered a brutal rear ended shunt from a lorry resulting in a complete write-off of the vehicle, however Plymouth City Bus still acquired it as the crimpled bus can be used for parts if need be.
I was lucky enough to be the first ever passenger in Plymouth to experience the new vehicles alongside a good friend of mine and enthusaist, Chris Kirby.
Details of their assigned service will be released as soon as I get authorisation to do so. Currently Plymouth City Bus's plans for the new buses are classified.
Enjoy!

MAN Gassies are stupidly quick! Just watch the Brissy MAN 18.310's for a treat!
Having driven these buses quite regularly for the last three years I was very sorry to see them go. A quiet and comfortable drive made a day on one of these a fairly pleasant experience. Nothings perfect though - not very good in the dark - poor lights and bad reflections from the windscreen made night time driving on unlit country roads quite difficult. Hopefully you'll do another video of them when they are in their new livery. Also to correct one point - WX62 HGG was written off after being hit by a National Express coach, not a lorry as suggested above.
Nice one! Loving the commentary from the back :p
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it :-)
That bus was amazing man good video
Thank you very much!
Not bad! Loving the different camera angles! Keep it up! Cant hear much of the revs etc which is great!
Very comfy machines indeed mate, should be ready for service by the new year :-)
No taking me a ride on those BAD BOYS! ;)
TheLegend_Lee You'll love them mate! You still up for that pint later?
Will have to late late. As I'm watching a film soon bud! :S
TheLegend_Lee yeah that's fine mate
There’s two ever growing fleet as well stagecoach and Dublin as well
omsi2gamingGG I know
I saw a few in their new livery today in Milehouse Depot.
Elevating Europe I hope you got permission to come in?
No, when I was driving on the road by the depot, I saw the buses in their new liveries.
Elevating Europe Ohhhh I see mate I do apologise! Yeah they should be ready very soon :-)
Looks like a nice bus. But my fave PCBs would be the President B7TLs
Lukey G Gotta love the B7TL's
TheIrish RoadSurfer Well the ones with the staircases in the middle look stupid. I prefer them behind the cab
Lukey G Well those are long gone now mate, only got the forward positioned staircase ones left
TheIrish RoadSurfer I think they look weird with the staircases in the middle. ALX400s are OK with them but Plaxton Presidents are a no no.
when is there a video coming of these bad boys in there Orange flash livery they look amazing and so quite cant wait to see a video of one
Very soon my friend, very soon ;-)
TheIrish RoadSurfer great can't wait they look really good in the orange flash branding
Nice!!, What’s their top speed?
Dublin Bus Fan thanks buddy, they can do 54mph flat out, which is 86km/h over in Ireland
Will they get Plymouth City Bus livery and logo?
Alex Everitt Yep absolutely, a few are already finished, I literally just got in the door from work at the depot and i've seen one that is fully finished and it looks amazing, so watch this channel for updates! :-)
I'm going to Plymouth on 29th December for New Year so i will be happy to see them and get some pictures for my flickr
Alex Everitt You couldn't have chosen a better time because the gas buses won't be put out for service until the New Year.
Nice i could be there for the launch and i go back to Sheffield on the 4th of January
Alex Everitt Awesome stuff!
Thelrish road surfer what bus video are you doing next my friend
Tbus456 1 All will be revealed soon.
I was on 94 on saturday
God damn it, they're gonna replace the Darts, aren't they?
Elevating Europe Pretty much yeah I should think so
Great British Transport Veiws I guess they will still be rideable at the 2017 bus rally.
Great British Transport Veiws There's only 1 decent remaining Dart and that's fleet number 45, brilliant bus, pulls like a freight train
TheIrish RoadSurfer But if I would be asked "Gas buses or Darts?" then I would go Gas Buses over Darts. The Darts are OK but the CNG fuelled buses are kind of more unique and cleaner than the Euro 2 Darts.
Elevating Europe They're 96% more efficient that your typical diesel powered bus so i've heard. The company saves around £10,000-20,000 a year, per bus, on fuel savings. They're extremely clean buses in terms of emissions!
I hated them lol
Jamie Glasspoole Hahahaa! Well not to worry we've taken them away for you :P
I rarely used Anglian, but when I did I hoped it wouldn't be an 'EcoShitty' ;) They sounded horrible, but it's probably something to do with maintenance... I hope Plymouth will look after them lmao
We'll keep them in good shape don't worry!
