Today, due to essential engineering works in the Shirley Hills area, a replacement bus service is operating. Trams are running between Wimbledon and Lloyd Park, but the replacement bus service is running from East Croydon to New Addington, calling at all stops except Lebanon Road and Sandilands, as they are served still by trams and buses. The service is being operated by Abellio London using Wright Eclipse Gemini 1 buses and ALX400's.
Many thanks to an Abellio London member of staff who let me sit in the cab, take pictures of the engine and also gave me some Abellio merchandise including 2 pens,a lanyard, log sheet and a driver's quick reference card telling me how to control the Wayfarer ticket machine. And yes, that is me sitting in the cab - LOL.
What a great blog
ReplyDeleteI hope you don't take this in an offensive way.. but how do you find time to take all of the pics and maintain a blog.. Given that you have to juggle home life and also school work?
