I purchased a 30 year old bus sight unseen from rural Scotland and tried to drive it 400 miles home. 

strangely compelling watching. A change from Americans getting old cars to run. Good luck lads

👏👏👏👏

not with the current government in charge. UK is dead

Always has been hope for Britain never give up..

.... Do you know Jesus Christ can set you free from sins and save you from hell today Jesus Christ is the only hope in this world no other gods will lead you to heaven There is no security or hope with out Jesus Christ in this world come and repent of all sins today Today is the day of salvation come to the loving savior Today repent and do not go to hell Come to Jesus Christ today Jesus Christ is only way to heaven Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today Romans 6.23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Jesus

Yeh haha

Well said

I wish I could buy an entire bus

I don't think it is particularly that young people are fixated with phones. In today's Britain, they are taking a hell of a risk. Scottish Police would bang you up for J Walking never mind driving a 30 year old bus home with issues. Good luck to them. But it's wrong to say young are on their phones, it's not 1955 and when traffic Police on the M6 intercept it could turn into nasty fines or far worse.

They still exist, just not on social media for the most part. Who can blame them?

Classic and military vehicle ownership is on the decline for younger people massively due to the cost of them being charged by the older generation. Costs are significantly higher than when they bought into it. Just look at photos of the age of club members. There’s no young people.

Fully agree…Great job. I wouldn’t have made it past that first left turn

@briggaskin 🤔…Oh, I remember. That was the slogan for British Leyland, wasn’t it? 😃

Amen !

👏👏👏👏

That’s a typical British bodge. While in the shit, use your bodge kit. You have to improvise more often than not. And do whatever it takes to keep on moving.

I always used to carry things like wire coat hangers, string, wire and tape, got out of a few issues with those

I knew that toothbrush would save the day at some time of history!

Pretty sure I’ve been on it back when I was in primary school

I think I drove it for Lothian buses before they sold them to EMH

@@graememckay9972 this particular was owned by stagecoach before EMH

You should have bought it then!

I drove this bus when it was new in Newcastle.

Same here !

@@buxvan and here

Same here, best regards from Germany

What do you mean?

Me too 🥴😂🤣

That's so obvious, but I'd never thought of that. Cheers

​@@buxvan👍💯🤔🙂

Same trick works with cable ties

At 18:30, instead of crawling under the bus in that tight space, would it not have been better to remove those four(4) screws, and then remove the Lower Sill Panel - to fix the suspension issue?

From the fridge I hope.

@weepair2 , Sometimes I prefer them from fridge hard and chewy - other times soft and gooey just left out for scooping up choc chip mint ice cream onto the end of it. You ?

If you want something new go to mcdonalds order a mcflurry and a hot apple pie and crush it into the mcflurry! Game changer!!!!​@Vikingcat01

@@Vikingcat01 You are giving me a semi🤣

Mmm...😂👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I hate you Butler.....lol

No MOT by all accounts

I was thinking the same thing.😂 Ive had a pull for no number plate lights.

@@RA9gaymore MOT expired 6 January 2023 apparently, I doubt this video was filmed then.. but maybe. If no MOT then no tax or insurance either. All good until DVSA gets you then that will be one hefty fine

We took two Nationals to Duxford one year. One of the lads had put the tax discs in the wrong buses. Copper pulled us outside the showground.

​@@CTRLyurselfand perhaps get the bus seized.

nice cliche

That's a lovely thing to comment!! Thank you anyways :))

LOL

😆

Extract thoughz.. wtf .. pinches self.. ouch.. >

😂in my experience the old bill and vosa stay away from school buses as if there is a problem they can be responsible for a lot of screaming brats lol

Isn’t that guy at start of the video not a train driver ?

​@@Football.0321I'm the train driver. Louie at the beginning is my partner and owner of the yellow Olympian.

I’m a high speed passenger train technician and also a bus preservation member too 😂

@@beneliastrains lucky men! Did he drive it?

What a suprise, carlisle is my hometown, so I may have been on that bus a fair few times as I'm 22.

Lot of people say this, then the reality hits home, 40-45mph top speed, 14 foot plus height, 9 mpg.

You might struggle to find a parking space at the supermarket, though!

@@michaelkeen5010 Private Registration & Insurance wouldn't be too cheap.

Oh bore off you old sod

Women can do it too

Thankfully it says near the drivers' cab what the height is so hopefully they know this for when thy take it about!

Oh also you inspired me to pursue train driving and I just recently got a shunter driver gig! 😊
