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.
