These scenes of buses in London were taken by Fred Ivey during the Winter of 1992 , a time of transition in bus operation in the capital. Most routes were still operated by London Buses but those that had been contracted out were obvious as there was , at that stage, no restrictions on liveries.
Fred filmed mainly in the Wood Green area featuring Grey Green on rotes 141 and 298, City Bus on route 123. He travelled to South East London to film RMs on route 36B and an RT on route 75 during the last week of conductors in London. He also visited Victoria Bus Station complete with roof, and Moorgate , Finsbury Square, where many routes terminated, a hang over from trolleybus days.

Left the buses in '92 to do more coach work Just as the company got taken over for the second time in as many years. Rarely had an Atlantean where the brakes didn't screech. SNBs were an absolute pleasure to drive. At that time semi autos (doubles) were slowly being replaced by fully auto. London Country became Luton and District (uniform change) and then Arriva. Happy days and some amazing, hilarious memories, stories.

Wonderful to see Titans invading Metrobus territory. Until the late 80's the T's were allocated on the east side of the Lea Valley, M's on the West with only a handful of routes taking those allocations over the border. I lived deep in Titanland in Barking and rarely saw the exotic, very different-sounding Metrobuses.

Ugh, I remember this period so well. London so famous for it's red buses, was seeing buses from the provinces pushing the red buses out. The first part of this video had me wodering if it was actually London. What a shambles with private operator colours and liveries. The buses seem to be a rag-bag assortment of vehicles bought together in a last minute rush. Different models on same route, some with London spec two sets of doors, others from who knows where with front doors only. Great confusion for passengers wanting to get off the bus in busy rush hour. Absolutely dreadful. If that wasn't enough, Routemasters were being sent off for scrap to make way for these substandard vehicles. Best front loading bus for me was the London Metrobuses. Loved seeing them again. Today; hooray, back to all red buses, with exit doors at centre, and white roundel on the sides.

Also make it low floor up and down and also extend the middle body part of these vehicles a little bit more so there will be more space for the wheelchair users. By the way, if you could remake and Modernise these vehicles could they also make it into a Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Gardner 6LX and Gardner 6LXC Diesel Engine Olympian ECW Version’s that if it will be possible and to Modernise the insides of these Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Gardner 6LX and Gardner 6LXC Diesel Engine Olympian ECW’s make it low floor up and down and also extend the middle body part of these vehicles a Little bit more so there will be more space and even a London Suburban Scania N230UD Enviro 400 MMC and also extend the middle body part of these vehicles a little bit more. Why couldn’t we have those London Suburban Buses Pale red on the top roof Pale red again on the top middle Milk Chocolate brown on the middle Creamy white on the Bottom Middle and Milk Chocolate Brown again on the Bottom on most of those kind of those Particular Double Decker Vehicles.

Could they also transfer the Arriva Bus Depots from Hackney to Stagecoach company so they can replace all the Arriva buses so that all of them can go to Birmingham and Leeds and they can be replaced by Stagecoach Loud 3-Speed Voith Diwa Gearbox Volvo TD102KF Engine East Lancs Olympus and also Extend the Middle body part of these Vehicles and that includes A Mixture of a Stagecoach Loud 3-Speed Voith Diwa Gearbox Volvo TD102KF, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 6LXCT Engine Northern Counties Palatine One and that Includes a Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Scania N230UD Enviro 400 MMC Vehicles A Little Bit More.

@@elizabethsheffield6609 Bus deregulation started in the UK under the Thatcher government in 1986 although I don't think it applied to London until a few years later. At the time many towns and cities had their own "corporation" bus services run by their respective local council and were therefore accountable to the local electorate. Once deregulation occured this was no longer possible. Many councils set up arms length companies to comply with the law, but over the years big groups of private companies bought out these concerns and the ethos of running a transport service as a public service using profitable routes to subsidise the less profitable ones and also using the revenue from the busy times to subsidise early and late lightly used services was replaced by one of mainly greed and profit for shareholders at the expense of the travelling public. There are only a handful of towns and cities left now that still have a vestige of their old "corporation" bus services still running.

The new routemasters initially had conductors walking around with mobile card readers but deFeffel didnt factor in the extra wages correctly so they didnt last long. The heritage routes that still run old routemasters have conductors with card readers. I haven't been on one in years but they may have card readers dotted around on the bus too.

Instead we had the IRA still active, plenty of deprived areas where ethnic minorities (and poor locals) had their homes (no change there) and we were in between London wide authorities after Thatcher disbanded the GLC to get rid of Ken Livingstone and the Labour militants. We'd just has the poll tax riots a couple of years previous. So all told, not much different. I liked Boris as London Mayor at the time but looking back I realise he was actually quite ineffective and wasted our money.
