I had left London by 1994 and didn't return until much later in the decade by which time every bus had Black and yellow blinds.
This got me wondering, it appears from a look on Flickr that YOB blinds came in around 1994/1995. Does anyone know which bus or route was the last to have WOB blinds back in the nineties?

I think the 281s VAs 32-54 were the last buses to have YOBs in the 1990s, these were delivered in 1998, and lasted until 2003 when new Tridents were introduced to the route. VA50 at Hounslow, photo by Bob Stanger |

Potters Bar was a WOB stronghold until the turn of the millennium and Ms on the 82 were still growling up and down the A41 with them until their withdrawal from the route in 2001. I think that was the last regular appearance of WOB on TfL routes though the 310A/84/242 commercial routes definitely threw some up later than that on a semi-regular basis, though YOB was becoming the norm even on the older buses by then. Then Potters Bar won the 263 back the following year. M substitutions for low floors weren't unheard of for the first year or so, leading to this in 2003! www.flickr.com/photos/cheeky_barstard/4801973654/ (not my photo - I had a foggy memory of seeing it from Archway Bridge so went digging on flickr) |
