Enjoy ................ SW2 going N on the 329 - 09-05 last View Attachmentthe only SW in a 2 hour stint near Wood Green back on Sun 09-05 ............. too much Sun and traffic about too that morning ........... frustrating especially as SW4 then passed me going the other way about 400 yards down the road at the A406 junction as I was driving away to work via photing the 150's at Gants Hill ............. 329 seems to get 4-6 per weekday. I want to see one on the 34 They are not blinded for the 34

I want to see one on the 34 They are not blinded for the 34 How convenient Hopefully the engine issues are sorted. Streetdecks still sell well enough outside London, with Rotala (Diamond) and Ensignbus with 21 plate examples. FirstGroup have tons of them too. It would be interesting to see if Arriva ever buy their Hydrogen cousins which are appearing on the 7 with Metroline but I guess it is about infrastructure. Nice to see the Tottenham refurbishment of the DWs is slowly progressing. Saw DW461 as one of the latest to be done

They are not officially allocated to the 329, they are just used on that route due to the poor reliability of them. 329 seems to get 4-6 per weekday. Typically having said that - yesterday had 3 on the 329, 2 on th2 102 & 2 on the 340. Managed the first 3 at Turnpike Lane BS but then got bowled by a Bakerloo Line signal failure attempting to intercept the 340 2 at Edgware and the time spent waiting for these to return from Harrow meant I effectively waved goodbye to the 102 2 @ Golders Green disappearing towards the Edmonton direction ............. still 5 in one day and 4 newly photoed.

Regardless of what happens with Beddington outstation, any reshuffle relating to the 432 could probably make use of the space at other garages, particularly TC which has quite a lot of spare capacity including from the 197 loss. Or the 137 could fully move back to BN - it should fit if the N137 were to move as well. The 468 could go to TC, and the 432 could go to N

A number of their routes received PVR increases plus the 312’s electric chargers will use some room

It has been reported that EMC6 has received LED blinds! Photo credit to Max Bowen I saw it too, it looks great, I think it could be useful in the rain or fog. My only issue is with the "South Croydon Bus Garage" blind, it's all on one line, unlike the previous one where it was "Bus Garage" was to the side of "South Croydon" (or below, on the new style blinds). It makes it a bit harder to read at a distance, but I assume it would just be a small change in how the blind is programmed.
