I went to the Cardiff Bus open day a few weeks ago and saw the the new double deckers in the garage. I asked an employee about them and apparently they are on hire only , hence they are mainly white.
Everytime I watch bus videos of u.k.I am speechless by the numbers of buses seen on the roads at once !! Like 5 to 7 buses 😅 on the same streets at the same time !!! Lol. I guess the demands are so much higher in the U.K. than here in the U.S.,or Japan where I originally came from !? Lol. I hate to drive surrendered by so many buses around for sure !! I am currently planning our trip to Wales and England & thinking about taking a bus from Newport to Cardiff ,regular bus ,nit a big coach ...stagecoach, or Newport bus ? Do they allow us to bring our carry on hard case luggage w/ wheels on ? I wonder .I've googled & read many articles ,but all said they have restrictions & the driver would judge it ! I also read Q & A on this matter on TripAdvisor. Brits were saying it should be fine !? We'll be with our hand luggage & carry on luggage. If anyone can answer me ,or give me some insights & advices ,I'll appreciate it very much !! I also wonder how the seats are on this kind of bus ? Are they comfy ?🚌 💜🥁🐉🎤💞
Interesting video. I didn't realise the number 30 route was still operating. I last used it (over part of the route) when I was about 10 years old, in the late 1950s. It was run as a joint service between Cardiff Corporation Transport and Newport Transport and I assume that is still the case (under the new bus company titles). This video brought back memories and showed quite a few changes- the route through Cardiff seeming more tortuous. I didn't use the bus in my travels to college in Newport, as the train from Cardiff was more convenient and faster.
Thanks for the comment. Yes the route is still shared between what is now Cardiff Bus and Newport Bus. It's a nice route. Newport Bus also run an express service between Cardiff and Newport , route X30. It goes via North Road , UHW , A48 and M4 to Malpas. I have a vid of that route too.
