View AttachmentLT600 having blinds for the 123, but whats even rarer is this destination. Has there been any occasions where buses curtailied to Walthamstow, Becontree Avenue? It was originally a trolleybus terminus and the stand was built for this purpose. Until April 1960 trolleybuses on routes 623 and 625 ran to Woodford, Napier Arms on the edge of Epping Forest but with only a limited service beyond Becontree Avenue. |

How much longer will type training have to go on for TH? Pretty much until all the 64 drivers are type trained I would say and between now and when the rest of the routes get the new buses they’ll probably be type trained as well. |

I type trained on the bus yesterday and the mentor said they should be on the 64 from Saturday 06th July |

It was an infamous turn for the 275 under Arriva. Happened multiple times every morning. Although it was not really used to turn but go not in service and restart further ahead at Woodford Green. Has an LT been in service and used the roads around Hainault Street and the terminus for any route including schools, night and RR? I suspect I am forgetting one but cant think of any. not sure about Hainault Street stand, but one has definitely been through Ilford on the 679. The Hainault Street stand shouldn't be much of a problem for an LT, the Optare Deltas used to terminate on the stand on the old 150, 369 and even on the 25. |

Looking nice, even though I prefer the older front face. Look forward to observing those when I am in Seven Sisters area. I don’t use the 279, but looking at those already gives off a far more comfortable aroma as opposed to those tired hovering Ts. |

Not sure but believe that's two Metroline WDE's lurking behind the TUK Kite I believe. |

I wonder which company that Kite behind will belong to. I think I can make out a yellow grab rail on the front door so probably the first of the R70 batch for TUK?! And Metroline electroliners at the very back. Highly likely they’ll be the last pre-facelift ones in London |
