Buses on TV

[MW]

Ex Metroline Dennis Trident/ALX400 TA647 (LK55 GGO) is expected to be the bus featured in tomorrows bus crash stunt on Eastenders. I still don't get how a bus of that size will end up driving around the square and crashing into the market/bridge!

Spoiler alert

At least one e200 and a Trident on this week's episode of Streets of the Black Country on Made in Birmingham

Anyone noticed what route number the bus used...cheeky so and so at Eastenders using the number of a coach route

Actually the bus used was DU07LGG  for the market crash on Eastenders

That's a fake plate surely

Never seen a 07 plate ALX400 before. Latest I've seen is 06 plate.

Yes, fake plates, Will quoted the correct reg

I did wonder why is was an 07 plate, I guess they weren't allowed to use the true identity of the bus for copyright/legal reasons

More than likely, more than one bus was used and they could have multiple vehicles with the same identity.

TA644 LK05 GGE was also used clearly visible on the shot from above where the fleetnumber is painted on the roof

I'm presuming the driver didn't do the VCR as the downstairs emergency door wasn't opening...
