And continuing its grand tour of Abellio's TfL routes XMS1 has had a Sunday afternoon spin on the 490.

After riding XMS1 on Route 490 last night I can honestly say that, the Citaro is such a beast. For a Euro VI bus it has such a decent pullaway and can go quick up in gears. The driver tried to use kickdown when ever he had the chance to, although I only did a trip on that bus from Terminal 4 all the way to Richmond.
I may have to chase that bus again in the mere future and try and get a better picture of it, despite me getting one last night.

It's gone back to the 235. Such a pity - can't it join something like the R68? I was quite fond of the Dennis Darts there.

This bus has not been in service since the 24th, has it now left Abellio for the next operator?

I think they should give it back to GAL for the BE depot and test it on the route 193.

I was on that very Journey you can just about see me to the right of the photo The journey did extend to Hatton cross that evening as at Twickenham Green the controller come on and ask the driver to go hatton cross and then run light back to the Depot from there.

The next route for it is the 313 due in Service this week No way! This should be my chance to finally ride it; when it was on the 355, it was only in service during my college hours, so I could never get to Brixton in time...thanks for the update!
