What I like about Anton, is that he is always happy and always has laugh!! 🙂👍
Sewing kit out anton 😂😂
That Yorkshire Bus Driver ...definitely Shaun..!!! 😂
That Yorkshire Bus Driver 🖼🧸
A very cleverly positioned head to cover the Travel Forward logos 😂😂
SingleDeckerMichael ....Yes...I make sure they are covered all the time!
Nice video, interesting. But what are the travel forward logos and why are they covered ?
I love electric buses!! They are better than the other buses for the environment.
We recently got two electric Enviro 200's in Auckland. I haven't been on one because they operate on CityLink, which I don't use (CityLink buses are the only Auckland buses painted Red, others are painted Dark Blue, Light Blue, Grey, Green, Orange, White, Baige & Purple). The intention is to roll electric buses out across Auckland, especially on routes that run into or in the CBD.
Went on a E200 EV the other day - a Ritchie's one which runs on the 866 route. Must say the seating config is much nicer on this one in the video. The suspension is not great on the NZ 2023 version. Slow down every time there is a small pothole or bump. The CRRC busses used on the Tamaki link etc are very nice.
How could someone dislike this video, not only does this guy seem very likeable he's passionate about his job and creating original content for us all to see, keep it up man!
The battery is going to look silly in a couple of years.
Metroline have double deck electrics on the route 98 but only 5 of them alongside the hybrid Gemini 3s. Around February 2019 Metroline will have 2 different types of new electric buses (with ADL/BYD with the Enviro City EV for the route 43, and the Optare Metrodecker for the route 134) - Which'll mean that the old Volvo Plaxton Presidents on 43 will be gone but not sure whether the 134's diesel Enviros would fate (possibly transfer to a different garage)
The irony of a Chinese company helping improve air quality
YES! The 360 is my nearest single-deck local route and it's electric fleet is just absolutely brilliant, I'll be happy if you drive this route again! 👍☺
About half a century ago, there were lots of full electric buses in London with no traction batteries, albeit supplied by coal fired power stations. No doubt somewhat lighter in weight as well.
No idea why I'm watching this because I'm not in to this type of vids but your vids are just so chill and addictive wtf is going on what is life
If your ever in the Victoria area come say hello! I’m usually parked up there on break in my coach :)
Wombat! Why
I will *Millwall Millwall* soundtrack whilst going by thinking their route master are in service as I show the model of it yes they still do exsist
Wombat! ...il look out for you! 😁
NAT EX ??
slabby rider indeed. I try to be the more considerate National driver.
Great video Anton also the larger wheels allow more weight to be carried in this case for the batteries
+Jimmy Savels that's called regenerative breaking which is also used on some electric cars such as the GM Chevrolet Volt/Vauxhall(Opel) ampera and possibly some Tesla car models but not too sure about that
gaming vids ...thanks...I wasn't so sure!
Another driver said it was so the wheel could travel further on every rotation!
I think its so the bus can go smooth over a bumpy road
The wheels and tyres are a larger diameter, one revolution the bus travels further. So it goes further on one full charge
Looks like you need to get the sewing kit out. LOL
gaming vids ...where's that thread and needle...? 🤣
Wow I wish I was so enthusiastic about my Job !
Cool bus I saw this bus today
While I haven't rode that enviro 200EV, i have rode the fully electric Volvo 7900E which charges from overhead ganteries!
6:43 did he walk into the pole 😂
paul pettitt 😂😂
Leah ...yes I did manage to catch it..🤣
DoubleDeckerAnton 😂😂
Where I live Leyland and Volvo Olympians are still regularly used on school transport by E & M Horsburgh
electric buses have re-gen brakes so u just need to let the bus slow down by taking your foot off the accelerator so the reason the bus jolts when you brake is that the re-gen is active aswell
Can’t hate your just doing something you enjoy
The other day I was on Arriva's Wright Cadet and I banged my head on the mirror lol.
Don't really know how I end up on this part of RUclips but am never disappointed when I do :)
would be cool to see u a drive a route from start to finish
Good day to you too!
Heathrow Plane Spotting ...hello 👋
The city I live in in the Netherlands currently has 27 hybrids (Volvo Prototypes, they actually use more diesel then most new diesel buses sadly), 3 Heuliez Irisbus diesel and 3 electric Rosero First buses. Starting next year we'll get 3 more Resero First buses to replace the 3 Heuliez irisbuses and de 27 hybrids, despite being quite young (2011-2012) will be replaced by 37 fully electric Ebusco/Golden Dragon electric buses.
We'll have a 0 emission fleet next year, even if the fleet is a lot smaller :)
The biggest electric bus fleet is actually at Schiphol airport in Holland. I will probably start driving those buses in the near future in the Haarlem-Schiphol-Amsterdam area. Nice video as always Anton!
BYD is world largest leading electric vehicles is very stable reliable long lasting batteries compare with other electric vehicle company has made BYD is made original energizer duracell sony panasonic fast charging batteries all range
These buses are quite the same for the operator in question used on another route based in North East London; plus the others that are much older (nearly 2 years in service) based at another garage on two other routes
By 2020, Manchester may have more electric buses than London, as Stagecoach plan to invest in 105 brand new Enviro 400 City EVs up here, so basically double-decker versions of what you've been driving there!
the quietest engine we have at our depot is a scania N230UD enviro 400 gold buses
Thanking you bus driver
Thanks mr bus driver
I heard that TfL is investing in some Optare Metrodeckers - can't wait to see them on the road, after all they are very rare in some parts of UK. By the way, many electric and hybrid buses have jerky brakes due to their regenerative braking (just a fun fact in case someone didn't know 😀).
I rode on the eltric bus on the way to hospital yesterday
Single decks are lighter than double decks, so they get a lighter chassis construction with smaller 19.5" wheels. The longer continental single decks and double decks get heavyweight chassis that can handle the extra weight of passengers that you'd find on those vehicles, or in this case the extra weight of batteries, and therefore have 22.5" wheels. There are a few exceptions to these two sizes, but fitting a different size wheel would likely result in more expensive axles and wheels.
I assume the EV has regenerative braking on the throttle, so the brake pedal just does the service brakes?
I went on one Sunday evening and they are better than buses in Wiltshire where I live now
Yesss Anton!
Student Vlogs - Dylan .....hi Dylan...how's uni...?
Your vlogs are great!
R u a bus enthusiast? Dylan?
Ah love this video, i drive an electric car myself and absolutely love it. Can't wait for the electric adoption to take off. Keep up the videos Anton!
I honestly hope they would put these electric buses on the 364!!!
You should do a POV of you driving the bus Cos it would be great seeing you drive the bus
thay were made at our plant in Falkirk byd build your dreams hope you like it and yeah there heavy 12245 kgs something like that great video
Great video Anton, I agree fully electric buses are great , spacious and comfortable .
Hello Anton. I can tell but more bout this bus. This bus is assembled on BYD K9 chassi with Alexander Dennis Enviro200 body.
The chad of buses
Great that we are on our way to cleaner air..... super video.
my city in Canada will have a full electric bus fleet in 18years.
I don't know if you've ever thought about it, but I'd really like to see you drive one of these. If it could be like a "behind view" or "upper view" or something so we could see you handling these bad boys. I'd love to see that. If you have a possibility for that, it would be great. Congrats for 15k also! Hail from Finland!
I heard a london bus driver listening to music yesterday. The bus was full, i was standing at the front, i thought at first it was coming from upstairs but i leaned closer and it was definetely coming from the cab. I thought that was banned lol.
Shame London took its trams and trolleybuses off the streets in the 30s-60s. Personally, I would have kept and extended the original tramway network and the trolleybus system, and then put hybrids and electric buses on the diesel routes, which would make it a lot easier to make the streets cleaner and air pollution free a lot quicker.
Alex Jenkins ...yes it makes a lot of sense now! 👍
Nice vid Anton!!!! 😀😀😀😀
I would imagine the larger wheels would be to support the extra weight. There is a blue Renault Zoe ( another ev just a bit smaller ) in the background.
Toby Jackson 80kw AC from 2 type 2 cables. Not sure what the battery size is in kWh they only quote 200 miles and 4 to 5 hours
Toby Jackson I found that strange myself. If they used DC then they would only need one cable. I can see why they would want only AC , the "chargers" or evse will be much smaller and compact.
The same design (kinda) of the 2 new 289 buses (Purley-Elmers End) but its not electronic.
Love the bus mate
It one of the cleanest buses ever
I love this channel. Really unique content. Love learning more about the buses I travel on.
I wish that there's electric buses in my city
Future London Bus
Panda Paws ....all buses will be like this in the future!
Electric is the way forward! 🔋🔌➡️👍😊
Can you do a video showing us what you carry with you when you drive around on the busses please
Nice! so quite and clean
Con Man ..Yes it's a refreshing change to old smelly smoky buses! 😁
DoubleDeckerAnton I’m happy you have gotten to drive the electric bus 🤗 🚎
Got an electric bus like that on the 153 Moorgate to Finsbury Park Station, not keen on them, as the suspension is too hard, as was the seats, no no good for me to travel via Hemingford Road in Barnsbury, due to all those jumps.
those size tyres are normal in canada for buses and 18 wheelers
New name single decker Anton
A slight tangent but the bus garage at Waterloo has a cafe open to the public. Is it any good? I say this as the garage has an electric bus fleet based there. This video seemed like a good a place to ask.
Jon Snow, Orlando Bloom, Penn and Teller type Bus Drive
These will be running on routes 46, 70, C1 and 214 in the next year
londonbusexplorer ...Yes...many more routes are to go electric as the years go on!
DoubleDeckerAnton one went on the route from Elephant to Patmore Estate today which I got to ride, was not allowed to be there Though, nearly crashed many times
Who knew that Boycie and Marleen's son would be into bus spotting - tell me though do you have your fathers laugh?!?
Cool 😎👨🏿💻
Never driven a fully electric bus, driven a hydrogen though, have quite a few of them up here in Aberdeen, I quite like them. Love the channel by the way :)
A lot to take in But it nice to see A lot of new busses coming in
Awesome bus and video!
Great video Anton. Do you watch On the Buses by any chance? Great old comedy about buses!
O-Dog McGee ..yes I saw it many years ago when I was young!
Hilarious! 😂📺
The Chinese supplying the BYD badge 😂
Really interesting Anton that roof must be strong to take that weight
Great video Anton! Hope to see you again sometime
Jamie Kennedy ..yes itd be good to see you again! 👍
BYD...Build Your Dreams and the bigger wheels are because of axle weight limits
Regen brakes are the cause of that jolt. They should have made it less harsh but that’s just what some manufacturers don’t care about instead they leave it as is. Some electric cars have the same issues
DoubleDeckerAnton Hi Anton have you seen the Green Enviro 400 Hybrids for Stagecoach in Manchester and Sheffield? There also the new 1% emissions Street Light Buses for First and Stagecoach in Sheffield.
An Enviro 400 weighs 11.5KG, and this is a single decker!
Hydrogen bus was made by Wright Bus originally I think.
i dont even like buses, not sure why im here but i watch every video
Good Video Anton, always nice to learn about new buses. Obviously we aren’t as lucky here in Yorkshire with nice buses
Congratulations for driving one.
I can't wait to drive one.
Cool video.
How many changes a day. If breakdown will cost the fleet lots money for recovering.
The battery can overheating on the driver head, without notice.
I hope Tfl done there research well before major distraction happen.
I hope Not.
Well done Anton.
Cheers Mate.
Toby Jackson Thanks for the information.
Great video.☺️
Joshua Hall a.k.a. Controlla ...thankyou Joshua 😁
Nice!
Absolutely love these buses. Metroline are getting a few soon I believe.
So, London is for transport with Electric buses? Good. Here in my city in Czech Republic we buy CNG buses for emit zero emmisions😀. It is sad, beacuse we like our old buses, but we also must buy new and "modern" buses 😕. Our CNG buses are made by polish company Solaris ☺
We have only one fully electric bus, but it is very unreiable vehicle so the bus is reconstructed to trolleybus and we are waiting for new CNG buses and saying goodbye to old but great buses... 👍
Cheers mate
Great video Anton and well done finally driving a zero emissions bus.
I'm surprised they don't put the batteries under the floor and raise the saloon.
Isn't all that extra weight bad for the roads? Causing more wear on the roads and what about when the batteries die and need replacing?
Cool, first time to watch your channel, and this kind of video talking about bus. Thumbs up : )
good information so happy to see the electric buses .. :) ask for a pair of shorts like Aussie drivers
Community Tours Australia ...lol 🤣...yes I have been wearing them lately..!!!
It's been over 30°c in London!
Great video Anton!
Have fun driving it Anton
What is the range of the busses? Sorry if you mentioned it, just watched the whole thing but didn’t hear if you did
I love the bus ❤
Thank you for the videos :)
I knew these buses are coming to London!
Hi Anton,
The wheels on the bus will be bigger to support the weight most likely and not to make them go further as they will require more energy to do a full rotation however I really enjoy your videos and hope you keep on making them.
