Wouldn’t it make more sense if the W3 was to run from AR rather than WN considering that NPK and Finsbury Park isn’t far from Tottenham or is it just due to space?

Notably WN isn't that from from Northumberland Park or Finsbury Park, and is also right on the route meaning drivers don't need to be paid for travelling time. Even if space was available at AR I see no reason for the W3 to be operated from there when WN is easy access from both ends and is effectively slap bang middle of the route.

Wood Green is the perfect location to run the W3 from, it's close to both ends of the route for light runs and it passes outside the garage allowing for easy changeovers. That's why it's operated from there nearly all it's life, all but 2.5 years of the last 59 years(including it's previous route 233)

Hi everyone, I’ve always been curious about what makes that somewhat groaning sound when the driver of an EvoSeti is about to pull out of a bus stop or when they push the handbrake back down. I haven’t really heard it on other bus models, really just EvoSetis.

How comes TFL didn’t use E500 as demonstrator to trial for trial axle buses on the 12 instead of TA1? Will TA1 only remain on the 12 or will it trial on the routes? Is there an electric or hybrid version of the E500?

Will TA1 only remain on the 12 or will it trial on the routes? It was originally meant for the X68 but because of street infrastructure issues it ended up on the 12.

IIRC, ADL wouldn’t supply TfL with a demonstrator and wanted an order which TfL weren’t interested in whereas BCI were happy to produce a demonstrator.

youtu.be/QH1CgVap_zk Was there a 668 route or proposed route that was going to become the 668 or the video a fake?

Why on earth does someone go to the trouble of putting together a video (based on two photos) but not even take 5 seconds to do any research? Almost all of the text is utter nonsense. The 668 still exists - timetable here - and is a Surrey CC school contract operated by London General, as mentioned above. It has never been operated by RATP. In the past 20 years it has only had two operators: London General and Buses Excetera.
