They certainly have picked a great example to preserve, I’m with you on that! Also, thank you for the history lesson on their service life - very helpful for an alternative history project I’m interested in working on! And can those veg shut up? They should have respect for those wanting to film like they’d expect when they want to take photos…
I was thinking the exact same thing as I was filming. Still, at least they weren’t as bad as those disrespectful assholes I was on 3606 with a while back. I’ll probably refilm this on a longer stretch if an opportunity arises anyway. I’m actually working on a history project myself with buses from this era, mainly looking into original allocations.

Another one on my bucket list, she may not be quite as good as 059 but she sure has a lovely ZF This would certainly bring back memories of the my childhood, especially 083 that had a similar sounding ZF.
I cannnot believe you can get a bus from Derby or Leicster to Donington Park right to the entrance and no-one seemingly knows about it, judging by how much the circuit clogs the local roads with traffic for the big race meetings or particularly download... I mean, don't tell any racing fans, I want this to myself tbf, but still, door to door service is a rareity in the racetrack world, so kudos to this operator for including it.
Was this yesterday? I had 4576 last night on the 85 and the driver was absolutely tanking it, I nearly fell down the stairs while getting off he was so quick, I must've had the same driver.
@@leicestertravels4705 With how long they used their Plaxton Presidents and ALX400s is much better than what First and Arriva could do even without their vehicles falling apart like our DB250s.
