Hello and welcome. Before I start another Random Obs post, I would like to say I have covered routes 53/54/75 and SEL763, on a day out yesterday. The photos should be uploaded within the next week, but for now I'll have to stick with the pics I've got. Here we go:
 |
| A line up of buses outside Isleworth Station. |
 |
| Recently, there have been some Scania OmniCity DDs on this route. I got a picture of one the other day, which had white blinds. I then found out that these buses were meant to be on the 65, because I saw 4 white-blind SPs standing at Ealing Broadway! |
 |
| These Gemini 2 buses are receiving new Metroline logos, as Metroline West and Metroline Travel will all become one company soon. |
 |
| A London United trainer bus takes a break at Isleworth Station. |
 |
| South West Trains use Class 450 trains on the Hounslow loop services on weekdays. I'm not surprised, because I caught one in the rush hour a month ago and the train was packed! They are more comfortable then the 455's SWT put out on weekends. Urgh! |
 |
| I've noticed that the BYD buses have been off the road recently. Have they been ditched, are they faulty? Have the new Electric Metrocities already been proved more reliable? |
 |
| This is the old guard on the 507. |
 |
| The first E400 in this strong batch for Abellio London has recently received an all-over advertisement for Schuh Shoes. Annoyingly, this bus seems to be tailing me as I saw it three times in one day and I didn't even use the 211 then! The last time I did use the 211 (on April 14th) I saw this bus twice. Very odd! |
 |
| An Enviro 400 on route 172, bound for the (not so) lovely area of Brockley Rise. |
 |
| One of TT's batch of E400s in the Lea Interchange common user pool. |
 |
| Aww, don't these buses look good now they've been refurbished! They certainly look better than Abellio's 9001, which has wonky blinds and is pretty dirty on the inside and outside. |
 |
| The surprisingly clean area by the iBus screen on VLA105. |
 |
| This bus doesn't look right with white blinds. It just doesn't! |
 |
| Hail the SEL! Metroline SEL751 stands at Russell Square. |
 |
| The back of the sole SEL with an 08-reg number plate. |
 |
| The oldest bus in London (excluding Heritage buses) that appears every day is S801 BWC. It's nearly 19 years old and is still to be found on route 55. |
 |
| iBus of SEL751. |
 |
| A VLW sets out on another 242 journey to Homerton Hospital. |
 |
| One of the annoying B5LH buses that cut out at bus stops! |
 |
| Finally, a DN on route 25. |
Thanks for reading!
