As far as I know, the NBFL is operating on routes 24 and 38. Which is the more interesting route of the two for a first taste of the NBFL going from end to end?

Adding on, the 24 have the 'crew attendants' on board whereas I believe the 38's LTs are now in OPO mode. |

Crew attendants? Surely Boris missed an opportunity. He could have called them Cabin Crew - one on each deck selling bottles of water in addition to checking Oysters.

Had a half ride on LT18 (Warren Street Station-Hampstead Heath) late Saturday afternoon.
Unimpressive ride, in view of the cost of the vehicle. Noticeably bumpy although I was a first timer on the route. (Maybe it's a bumpy route)
AC seemed brilliant although too loud to get a listen of the engine.
Just a mini bash, only 2-3 hours to spare
Central Line - North Action-White City
Hammersmith & City Line - Wood Lane-Great Portland Street (first time on an S7)
Walk to Warren Street then Bus 24 as above
London Overground - Hampstead Heath-Kensal Rise
Bus 187 - Kensal Rise-North Acton Road

Think of the ride quality like an early Fiat Punto.... crashy, not great, but it will get you from A to B... I noticed some of Camden's roads aren't the best quality when I went from Camden to Leicester Square... as for engine note, with hybrid setup and drivetrain, the engine is more of a generator than doing what normal buses do... the B5LH trumps this bus for quality, finish and engine note...  |
