+Bevoin1970 Thanks very much Paul....Glad you liked it.....It was nice to do another collaboration video with Bob...He's been a friend for quite a while now. Usually i see Him when He come over to our area to film on the West Somerset Railway ! I moved from Swansea way back in 1969....so am also Welsh. 590 is my favourite Regent at the Museum...We will hopefully film again on the next Running Day on 28th February 2016...p.s. My Sister lives at Knowle near Solihull in your area...Best wishes...Steve.~

What a team ,,, what a smashing ride ,,, well driven Steve and well held camera work Bob, brings back memories of going to school (but we where only allowed to take the bus if it was raining ,) ,, and the sound of the long delay between changes as the engine rev's die away ,,,, and the torque kicks in again just a wonderful reminder of yesteryear,,, (would I be right in presuming drum brakes all round ??? ) Brilliant watch many thanks to you both ,,,, Regards Alan

Superb production Steve, with great editing throughout. A fantastic run, and congratulations to you for Driving this 50 year old Bus faultlessly throughout the journey, and having to negotiate some narrow roads along the way. The beautiful Autumn shades made it more memorable....Looking forward to the next event already...Best wishes...Bob

Bob did a fantastic job of Filming this..and you even had two cameo appearances in it !!....With hindsight you could have come with us on the Bus back to the Museum and return later...Strangely enough i was offered another trip on 590 to Limeslade at 14:45 , but turned it down...I would have done it if you had stayed with us. There's always the next one on Feb 28th 2016... It was a wonderful surprise to meet you all at Limeslade..made my Day even better...Best wishes...S.~

+wooltman Thanks very much Chris...Yes you do change Gears a lot as you can see...more a pain in traffic though as you have to pull away in first every time with a load on. And First Gear is a very short one..it just gets you away basically. The Muscles above my Knees played up a bit on Monday..but all OK...just like Horse riding ...You find Muscles you forgot you had and never use !! I had to go Home mid afternoon and turned down another trip on the same Bus to Limeslade...shame, but that's the way it goes !! Best wishes...S.~

Very enjoyable film and great drive, the SWT AEC Regent V's were always my favourite vehicles, good looks and superb sounds. One day I'll bring my ex Leicester AEC Renown down to Swansea for a museum event and the offer of drive Steve will be there if you want.

In around 1963 -1967 i also used to travel daily on United Welsh Bristol Low Decker's..I used to like them too...Never thought i'd end up driving similar Bristol's in 1979 in Bristol !! It would be great if you did bring your AEC Renown down..it would be great to see it next to our Bridgemaster...1203....And i would be honoured to have a drive in it if possible....Best wishes...Steve.~

Yes, the United Welsh Bristol Lodekka's another favourite as a lad waiting in Gorsenion bus station for the 112 (2) service up to Loughor, could be either a Lodekka or Regent V, both with different coloured interiors and to a kid not understanding they were from two different firms. Shame no ex United Welsh FLF's survived into preservation, would have liked one of them or a Willowbrook Regent V.

+Andy T My all time favourite FLF's were the Bristol BVW Engined examples i drove in Bristol.....i called them 'Thumpers'... so much character. I lived in Dunvant from 1963-1968 and caught the UW 116 ,58 and sometimes even the 98 Waunarlwydd Bristol MW's...Great times....All these wonderful Buses lost forever...i share your sentiments about owning a United Welsh FLF and a Regent V.....

Cracking on in the old Regent there along the seashore. Crikey, by the time you'd read that sign at 4:22 you'd have gone through the lights. Still, it might be useful to know the Welsh for 'Civic Amenity and Recycling Site' at some point.
