Route 24 Observations (NB4L)

Back in January 2012, it was announced that the 24 was to gain Borismasters. This was the first route to get them, alongside 8 prototypes on Route 38. Today, the change happened and it was clear from the half an hour my friend Josh waited for one then 3 came along. It was clear there was bunching, but nevertheless, I met up with mates from the West London Time Masters Blog and the fabulous London Buses: on the go blog to cover the new buses. I hope you enjoyed reading this post.

Brand new Enviro 400's for Route 60!

On the 31st of January 2013, route 60 was retained by Arriva London using new and existing buses. 8 Enviro 400's were ordered and these have arrived! They have white on black blinds, and I must say, are rather smart. The existing buses will come from the TC allocation, so DW's and T. The contract begins on the 31st of August. I hope you enjoyed reading this post.

New, hot of the production line, buses for London General

On the 19th July, many London General routes were retendered including the 87 and 219. These both got new buses, that of E40H and Streetlites. Today the contract for the 87 happened and the E40H are on the 88 instead, perhaps better suited. These have features such as: Length of 10.2m Top speed of 65 - 70 mph (104 kph - 112 kph) Blue neon interior lighting A comfy ride! Today the contract for the 219 happened, and the Streetlites are on the 219, as they should be. These have features such as: Length of 10.8m Top speed of 65 mph - 70 mph (104 kph - 112 kph) Blue neon interior lighting Unpopularity with drivers! The next post will be next week when we cover Metroline's Potters Bar open day. I hope you enjoy reading this post.
