DW266 definitely has a blown exhaust. Sounded very loud when it went past me in Croydon on the 60

2587 was being attended to by fitters near the Croydon Flyover whilst on the 407. Thought it was a mechanical at first but then I saw an engineer changing the left mirror when I went past it again some 30 minutes later

LT972 wasn’t prepared for the Addington Hills. We almost broke down after losing speed on Gravel Hill towards Croydon with beeping noises from the can when we reached the top of the hill. Driver restarted it 2 or 3 times to get it moving again.

I'm actually a bit gutted I didn't go and try it out for myself lol

I'm actually a bit gutted I didn't go and try it out for myself lol Despite my priority being the Abellio extras I also was curious to see how that LT would cope. Despite not being the biggest LT fan and the poor hillclimb it was enjoyable especially having an LT near my area where they are a rarity. As for the Abellio MMCs I had YX17NVE which was a really nice fast E40H. Very good uphill contrary to T129 which we were following.

VW1881 has be involved in in a RTC in I think Wembley with an unidentified DE That can’t be recent as theirs a ex First London Gemini 2 / B9TL with Tower Transit blinded for the 28 the 28 is now with RTP and the Gemini 2 would have RTP logos by now and there’s the VW involved in accident is blinded 18 which is now with RTP which I don’t believe any of Metroline’s ex First London VWs have the 18 on there blinds. I’m pretty sure VW1881 is withdrawn as it was withdrawn when after the 18 went to RTP. Here’s VW1881 now: VW1881

Yeah it left London when after the 18 went to RATP.

Ex TT VHs must be pretty clapped out by now after several months on at BT on the 125 & straying on various other routes. I guess they'll be going for scrap once the electrics arrive.

You really think 16 reg hybrids are going to be scrapped? As others have said they will likely go back to the 452. I will probably get in trouble for this reply but are you on a wind up again!

Nobody is buying it.

The windscreen wipers on VH45083, as it made a very rare & unusual appearance on route 183, went swish swish swish!! So the other day when you said you was sorry for the silly comments didn’t last long…..

The windscreen wipers on VH45083, as it made a very rare & unusual appearance on route 183, went swish swish swish!! Had an look out of curiosity (even though VHRs haved moved on) and that bus in question never ran on the 183... Will you PLEASE stop posting false nonsense? I am tired of scrolling only to find your troll posts, when others are posting nice stuff on here that is quite informative. EDIT: Is there an reason why this user has been allowed to rampage on this forum all week?
