Enviro 200: a brief history

This is an Enviro 200 at Richmond Bus Station owned by Abellio.

One of London United's Enviro 200's at Richmond Bus Station.

Here's one working for Metroline.

Another one working for London United.

The Enviro 200 has been a major success over the years. It can be found working for Abellio, Arriva, Arriva Southern Counties, CT plus, Go-Ahead, London Sovereign, London United, Metrobus,  Metroline, Quality Line, Stagecoach and Sullivan Buses. That means every single company has a type of Enviro 200 except Arriva The Shires. I personally think the Enviro 200 is boring however I have grown o the newer models. Oh by the way, I am going on a mad bus journey all around London which means staying out for 12 hours on the buses. I will be using routes 607,260,H3,210,214,C2,38,188,108,425,56,46,148,414,337,65 and E3. I adore all these bus routes which is why I have called it the Best Buses Journey. My next post will be the journey in more detail but for now, maybe you can have a go at figuring out what will happen on Friday. This journey was going to take place in December 2012 but typically I got ill on the day it was supposed to happen. But now I can do a post on this journey and I have modified the route a little. Bye! I hope you enjoyed my post which went a bit off subject. At least it was something to do with buses! HA HA HA

  1. Arriva the Shires is to get buses from Arriva London in August for routes H18/H19. These E200's are from 491 which is to be lost to GAL in June. The route will then use Wright StreetLites.

    1. Thanks for the info, that will mean that there will be more E200's around London. I wish they were getting new E200's because I am not keen on the older ones.
