Whatever the relative merits of Metrocity's - from an interest point of view it will be good to have something different to photograph that isn't a MMC.

Also you can see in this picture how ridiculous the front end looks, the bulbous bit above the front lights just plonked on to the front and just sticking out like a grumpy child’s bottom lip

Have moved from avoiding collisions to inevitable

Agreed, and I'm looking forward to an end to end 322 ride that touches parts of South London I very rarely get to (Gipsy Hill / Tulse Hill / Herne Hill).

Thanks for the link of the sorry pictures of LT174 - does anyone know the location / circumstances of her demise?

8812 disgraced itself at Richmond Bus Station tonight with what looked like a blown coolant system judging by the amount of water on the road.

LOTS are reporting the first 3 Metrocities for the 322 are expected to enter service in the coming week.

3403 was having a few difficulties today. Towards KX it was showing 63 to Honor Oak, the next 3 stops screen was stuck in Elephant showing Therapia Road and then dissapeared by Farringdon, and the next stop kept changing randomly. Thankfully the audio announcements were unaffected but I can see how this could cause confusion
