Route 82 Observations

On 31st March 2012, Route 82 received a new contract specifing new buses. Many thought these new buses would be Hybrids, but this proved to be wrong. It was then announced that Route 82 would be getting brand new state of the art E40D buses in early 2013. The older TPLs will be sold on to other operators. It's a shame because the TPLs are quite nice buses. Route 82 runs between North Finchley and Victoria via Golders Green, Edgware Road, Park Lane and Hyde Park Corner and is run from the lengthy Potters Bar garage in Hertfordshire. The route is 10 miles ( 16 kilometres long ) and will be one of the last routes to receive buses with yellow on black blinds, buses from now on having to use white on black blinds. I hope you enjoy reading this post.
