The ex 13 VHs at BT can also be awful for vibration, especially at the front upper deck, the blind box vibration is horrid on some of them. I'd actually go as far as saying it applies to all Euro5 B5LHs regardless of operator. Go Ahead WHVs are also horrible for vibration. Not always felt sitting upstairs near the front, but downstairs you'll definitely notice. Same applies to loads of FW Euro4 SPs too, for many years they've been worse for vibration than those at other garages. I know, I just mentioned the VHs as I get on these most commonly out of B5LHs (Alongside ADEs and ADHs which are 100% way better imo). With the SPs, I see what you mean there as well, the BT examples I get on (SP40194-40205) are bad for vibration, not only that but are horribly slow, SP40038 however is actually a pretty alright bus to travel on in contrast.

I don't know any driver who likes the SPs at the garage they are the worst buses here. SP38 is the exception that bus is a rocket

Travelled on WS65 on the 386 a couple of nights ago. Previous trips have been very smooth but the whole bus was vibrating when stopped on this occasion. Sadly a lot of vibration is standard for these Mercedes engines, no matter what bus it is in. They appear in the Streetlite, Streetdeck, Solo, Versa, Metrocity and Metrodecker. The point I made was that it wasn't vibrating a few weeks ago. Somebody has done something to it.

, 231: PO56JFF has moved to NP, hopefully 232 will follow. 👍 I can't see it on the 232, but crazier things have happened, could join DMN1 on the route

How does the 108D run? Does it go the full route but different around the Blackwall tunnel? Also, do they only do one journey or a full round trip?

I read on bus news week that the bydin the pic a couple pages back with the YX19 plate. That the plate is just for decoration so to me that means these buses will get LJ plates like other byd enviro buses.

does it also go back to Greenwich from lewisham? No only towards Lewisham. Those journeys come in handy especially after a big event at the O2 Arena, they help to get the crowds away. My understanding is that the buses and drivers go on to night duties on the 321.

My understanding is that the buses and drivers go on to night duties on the 321. The schedule for the 108D shows it's the other way round. Buses off the 321 work the 108D. Buses run light from Lewisham to NOG to take up subsequent trips. There is some modest interworking between the day 108 and night 108. The 108D has always been designed to use marginal, and therefore cheap, schedule time as I was told the story as to how it was created in the first place!

Wow! 3/4 E200s on the 396, an allocator has obviously had a change of heart. SE115/17/18 are currently on the 396. E55 is out as well as usual.
