Hello people of the internet! Welcome to the Northern Irish Bus Videos Channel!
My name’s Alex, I’m a young bus enthusiast from Northern Ireland and I’ve been interested in buses for a couple of years now.
This channel will share a wide variety of bus content across Northern Ireland. Despite the channel being dedicated to ‘Northern Ireland bus content’ I will also be making content from other countries across the globe.
This channel will heavily feature the ‘B7TL ALX 400s’ as they’re my personal favourite bus models.
That’s all I’ve got to say, I hope yous enjoy the content and whilst you’re at it, why not leave a subscription? It helps a ton
It is ‘formerly’ Foyle Metro. August 2023 saw 1828 transferred to Metro MSC for use on the Airport Express 600 runs (occasionally regular Metro routes). Most Foyle Versa’s have been transferred across different N.I depots, much like this one. If you wish to read more, please read the description on this video.
Same can happen with this example at any given point. To me, all these Versa’s are the same, very uncomfortable and have a horrible ride quality from a passenger’s point of view.
Heres something you may find interesting. :) The name of my country has nothing to do with the interesting and delicious bird 'turkey'...... .....but the name of the bird does have a connection with the name of my country, let me explain. :) In the past 40 years 37 countries have changed their name. Obviously one can not change the name of an apple or an orange etc in other languages, but country names are like peoples' individual names, so if you're named John we don't call you Karen. :) Name of my country has always been Türkiye, it's been known as such since around the 1200's. The name it self has a suffix, '-iye', that is Turk-iye, where the -iye suffix means 'land of/belonging to', just like the Latin suffix of '-ia', which exists in such country names like Austr-ia, Austral-ia, Indones-ia etc. Basically, the use of '-iye/-ia' is the same as the the use of '-land' suffix in country names like Ire(Eire)-land, Po(le)-land, Eng(Anglo)-land and so on and so on. Many would remember the country Czechoslovak-ia which changed it's name to Czech Republic and a few years ago changed that to Czechia (that is Czech-ia). The Latin suffix -ia probably originates from Turkish -iye as Turkish been over 10,000 years is much older than Latin which is around 1300 years old. Spelled in different languages in different ways to phonetically resemble (to sound like) 'Türkiye' we got various spellings like; Turq-uía (in Spanish), Turch-ia (in Italian), Turq-uie (in French) Turk-ei (in German) Turk-ey (in English) Mind you this was way before the animal we currently know as turkey was found by the europeans when they explored the north americas. The bird was first sent to europe from north americas in the year 1519, so up until that point there was no bird named turkey.... ...they came across the bird and thought it was a specie of the fowl/chicken they had been buying from the country of Turkiye at the time, so they named the bird 'Turkey Fowl' to define 'Turkish Chicken'... ....just like how a dog breed is known as German Shepherd (because it's from Germany), American Bulldog, British Terrier, Greek Harehound etc etc. In time you don't get to call the harehound simply as Greek or you don't call the terrier Britirsh, or shepherd as simply German, but in time the Turkish Fowl started to be called just 'Turkey' and later 'turkey', and this went on for hundreds of years. Now in modern times, this caused confusion, especially when we have people across the world unable to point to their own country on an atlas. Basically we didn't change the name of our country, we changed the mistake made in the English language. : ) So, there's some tid bit information for you to have a great day, if you read upto this point you have a great night too, ohh just have a wonderfull life. : ) Best wishes. ;)
Depends on the time but it will either go straight to the hospital or it will go through the parks as in your video. Going through the parks used to be every hour when the old Omagh hospital was in use
2999 Ran with Ulsterbus throughout her Translink days. City Tours have done a great job with 2969 and 99 both vehicles look very smart and it is fantastic to see them getting a new life.
Not that I know of, I believe these later Geminis were manufactured the same as the ‘07 batch, with the only difference obviously being the seat moquette.
