Just one non EV (HA23) out on the 64. Quite a few ES are unfit, one is on the pit as it's suspension needs fixing. Once that happens, HA23 will be swapped out What did BN do to them when they had them!!😂

Coincidently had to use 279 today to get back from Waltham Cross after my 217 trip (people who follow my posts will know why). Not sure if I got lucky, but driver floored it until he caught up with another 279 in front. Not the biggest LT fan, but much rather run into those as opposed to an hoovering T, which I often spot when in Manor House. Each to their own ofc but I have never and still not got a good thing to say about LTs. I would not even step a foot on them. Worst ever buses imo. I have to disagree, apart from being bench seats, I find them some of the best buses going.

Nah, I'd still take a T every time, even a dreadful one over a LT, especially in this weather The one thing though I'll say about routes that have LT's is I noticed they tend to have either drivers or a schedule that are a bit quicker or have a less padded schedule. In the hot weather, some of the T's were worst than the LT's for heat. The best LT was on the 259 the bus was freezing on a day that was 30 degrees C. I was literally sneezing and shivering, that was the best bus I had been in the stretch of hot weather.

The N279 had an interesting allocation last night. LT1, LT2, LT3, LT5, LT6 & LT7 plus 4 others. Good to see LT1 going past its old stomping ground in zone 1

Nothing beats a Gemini in the hot weather for a cool bus IMO

Nothing beats a Gemini in the hot weather for a cool bus IMO I'd take an LT over a T any day of the week, and a Gemini, especially if they are Arriva operated. I still can't get my head around what people's issue are with LT's, it seems to be that if it ain't boxy looking or a Scania then, in general, it won't be liked.

I could rant for weeks about my bones of contention with the LTs! 😂

LT596 crashed into a theatre on the 19. Hope no one was injured. I’ve just seen the picture, the damage to the LT looks fairly minor tbh so looks like it wasn’t anything too serious
