Reason we haven’t had a MMC on Route 139 as a lot of the drivers that are loaned are not type trained. Still waiting on my turn but will need to be a duty where I bring the bus back to garage for either break or finished bus You have had one because I've been one 😁. Took me by surprise last Monday. Dam! Lucky ... whoever had it. Was it day or night? I’m due for 139 from Tuesday Morning. Not all of them MMCs have updated blinds added....

I prefer MMC or VWH Not the older TEHs.

Not all of them MMCs have updated blinds added.... Daytime at around 14.00. I was so lucky my friend left to go home and then was walking towards Oxford Circus to get tube but saw the TEH and thankfully it got caught at a red light to I was able to cross the road in time and get it. Took me by surprise but they look great on the route. Hoping to see one on LVF on Tuesday Morning 😜

I was told because drivers on loan aren’t type trained which is fair enough. But the HT drivers, I’m sure the DEM’s are similar to start up, If there like the newer DELs at W. What I have been told are several things anyway. I’m hoping the same for either one of these days coming up 😂

This shouldn't turn into Toilet Of The Year competition, but if there is a more disgusting permanent facility than North Finchley Bus Station, I don't want to know about it. The temporary ones leave much to be desired also.🚽😟 Disgusting, absolutely disgusting. After driving the 112 the other day, I got shown where the toilets were and absolutely shambles..... None of you lot haven’t lived until you’ve used the cabin at Danebury Avenue in roehampton.... I feel like we need a thread for this now, purely for avoidance rather than recommendation!

Told me about using that cabin

Never thought I'd see the infamous green/grey TT moquette up in Mill Hill Broadway, but the wonders of 2020 simply never cease! Lovely to see VWH2705 on the 114 today looking shiny and bright as ever .

Just for those who might be interested. Saw an ex-AC VP here in Swords, County Dublin, in untouched red TfL livery and displaying 460 on the rear. Being used as a school bus (possibly a COVID extra). Whether the gearbox is a ZF on these or not, it sounded like an absolute squealer! Never heard one in London quite like it. Someone in maintenance here knows what they’re doing.

The only Voith examples were at HD - all other VP's were ZF examples.
