Welcome to the Smit RU-vid channel.
On this channel I upload videos on the buses around the UK. I try to upload a variety of operators & mainly focus on the late 1990s - late 2000s era of buses, with the occasional newer bus thrown in.

If you have any suggestions for buses I could film in future, Make sure to comment & I will get around too doing them in the near future.

Interesting to see it has the new style RATP London interior, since the other Euro 6 buses have their own green ones! I’d be amazed if this had kickdown to be fair, it would be Sensotop if anything at all. Which I would also be surprised if it possessed
