Today I decided to travel to Hounslow to attempt to see whether VM1 was around. VM1 is a MCV DD103 - currently only 3 about, so a rare type, the only other ones are another VM1 with Docklands Buses based at their Silvertown depot and an open top one which does sightseeing in Windsor. This bus is the first Volvo B9TL chassis London United have ever used, the last Volvo chassis being on their VE and VLE's back in 2004. The bus has yet to have a MOT and shall be out by the end of next week. Many thanks to the member of staff who made it possible for me to take a picture.
I hope trasdev get the bus for the 13's new contrat
ReplyDeleteTheir last Volvos were actually brought in 2004 in the form of the VEs and VLEs.

ReplyDeleteI'm hoping that a bus company will buy a full allocation of these buses for a new contract because they are really good buses
