Swindon's Buses

Our filming on this DVD takes place during August in both 2018 and 2019. Locations in 2018 include Manchester Road, Corporation Street, Station Road, Fleming Way, Princes Street and the Bus Station. Here we see ‘Swindon’s Bus Company’ buses in-service in both their new Go South Coast livery of green and blue as well as their former scheme of a darker blue and green. Stagecoach buses are also seen in service. The 2018 filming concludes in the pretty market town of Marlborough, where the short ADL Enviro200 buses are seen. The 2019 visit to Swindon begins at the smart, modern bus depot of ‘Swindon’s Bus Company’. Our cameras were invited by Go South Coast to film inside the workshops and parking area. Here we see the buses being attended to in the modern workshops and also have a look in detail at 2776 (HF67 ATX), one of the new Enviro 200MMC single-deckers that have ‘sociable seating’ at the rear. We conclude with some archive video from Malcolm King from the early 1990s of buses in Swindon.
