On Saturday the 5th of July 2014, Metroline hosted their annual open day in connection with TfL's Year of the Bus event. However, Dean Sullivan, owner of Sullivan Buses, decided to run a circular tour from the garage to this South Mimms garage, via the North Mymms maintenance base. This tour was run using DEL1. In addition, enthusiasts were allowed to walk around the yard to take pictures. At PB, serveral buses were on display, many of which I got pictures of. Potters Bar garage currently runs route's 82, 84, 217, 234, 242, 263, 383, 384, W8, W9, 634 and a part allocation of route N91. From November, the garage will take on Route 34. TE's will be allocated to this route on a interim basis, however, along with route 125 which has been gained from January, brand new Volvo B5LH/Wright Gemini 3 buses will be introduced. Also present at the event, was refurbished DEL853, in Metroline's new Hertfordshire livery, as well as refurbished TE911, and DES800. Overall I enjoyed the event, there was decent buses on stand and all in a good layout. I hope you enjoyed reading this post!
