Filmed on 11/7/24. I thought it was about time I got an EV on the route as part of the new allocation introduced. If you're gonna miss the diesel MMCs that are now only partly allocated, catch them while you can. This route is expected to be fully EV by August. As for this one in particular, the title says it all really! Not the boring electric most enthusiasts would expect, enjoy! Route E5: Pe...

Filmed on 24/6/2024 between Rosemont road and Tudor Estate. Here we have an eager midday driver who likes to accelerate quickly, throttle pump to initiate downshifts and use all the forward gears this thing has 😁. Enjoy! Some notable timestamps are: 1:05, 4:21 - Downshift to 1st gear 2200rpm 2:15 - Downshift to 2nd gear, jerky revs 3:59, 5:26, 6:45, 16:55, 17:35, 18:05 - Gears 1-4 7:22, 12:01, ...

I was in the Park Royal area and seeing this route still with so many DEs allocated, despite the introduction of Volvo BZLs, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to film :). Unluckily for me, both directions of the route had some traffic but I tried to capture the best aspects of the journey (hence the title). I will come bac...

Filmed on 23/3/24 between Keynes College and St Dunstan's Church. An ex-Stagecoach London Scania on a suburban hilly route makes for an entertaining journey :-) I used this route to and from the University of Kent open day and I must say the Scania Omnicities allocated are powerful. I'll deffo come back in future, but for now, enjoy this video! Route Uni1: Parkwood - Canterbury City Centre Gara...

Filmed on Good Friday 29/3/24 A fitting title lol. Couldn't pass up the opportunity to film a Euro 5 E200 on the E7, one of 2 or 3 spotted on the route regularly during the weekdays of the past 6 weeks or so. This one was basically empty when I got on, hence the way it was driven coasting most of the time. The time of these oldies in service will be coming to an end at some point with the Wrigh...

Happy New Year everyone and I hope those who celebrate had a good Christmas 😀. Here's my first upload of the year from New Year's Day 1/1/24! Filmed between Ealing Broadway and Clifton Road. Something to note at 3:03 is the driver having to reverse after being reminded by passengers to turn right to the Haven Green/Ealing Broadway Station bus stop instead of stopping at the one straight outside...

Filmed on 15/12/23 Here's an early afternoon journey on Route 95 between Hanger Lane and Greenford Road Roundabout. Got a top speed of 36mph, the driver wasn't in too much of hurry as he'd probably already had his lunch break lol. This bus isn't kickdown-enabled unfortunately but a decent run nevertheless 👌🏾 Route 95: Shepherd's Bush - Southall, Town Hall Garage: Greenford (G) Bodywork/chassis:...

My travels in Kent whilst visiting a Uni open day during "Non-TFL November" :). This was my first time on a Streetlite and it was nice lol, clearly this one is in good condition. It's also nice to note the louder axle noises through to 4th gear. Then again, it could be down to the fact that it has a Cummins engine instead of a Daimler engine (I did struggle to tell the difference tho) 🤔😉. Filme...

Did the driver try to lower the bus?
Nope, just wanted to kick the ramp back in lol
Should just install manual ramps The power operated ones are too shit
Modern technology 🤷🏾
@@westlondonerstravels578modern tech sucks, I use a 1980s SLR camera instead of sum modern because I feel i have more control

8:43 Hail & Ride Section
Yep :)
Nice :))
Thanks! 😊
Euro 6?
Euro 4 (or 5) engine and Euro 6 exhaust emissions filter, I believe. Although it doesn't have the "green leaf emissions modification" branding like the refurbished ones do
Still has a messed up ibus I see 😂 Nice video by the way!
Yeah I don't think they'll bother fixing it if the spare batch are getting withdrawn 😅. And thanks! 😁
@@westlondonerstravels578oh that’s a shame as I really like these buses and the interior reminds me of the good old days of First London
The issue was resolved, but a technician should check on the mechanisms.
U should ask the driver shake the ramp

e11 is the most deadest route in the ealing brough edit:people many use it to go home but i barely see anyone get on it
It's used more on weekdays tbf but a journey is a journey haha. I'm still waiting for the perfect time to film some of the Uxbridge/Hayes routes
Thank you for 80 subscribers 😁🙏🏾! It's great to see my channel growing with the content I share! The Travels continue...
What Operator Now?
Abellio London
More than halfway to 80 subscribers! Thanks for your support 🙏🏾
Come on, u got this in the bag bro
@LJ07Ray cheers man! 😁
Soo you got FGJ and I got FGO 😄😁
👍🏾😁
Nice journey! Tbh I thought they probably would've been gone by now but I'm glad they seem to be staying for a bit longer
Thank you and I agree 😁
Memories of when RATP existed on both routes E10 and E11
Yes, almost 4 years now 😲😅
I need to rec these lot, man said they are unrefurbished too
Yeah, get them while you can, they might not have long left 👍🏾
Perivale East not West. West closed down a while back
Thanks for the correction 👍🏾
i must say i was surprised when i saw an London Sovereign 226 about a 2 weeks ago i had no idea it was changing operators great video 🙂
Yeah, this is a refreshing change. Metroline had the route for almost 10 years!
@@westlondonerstravels578 i will miss seeing them Ratty 58 and 09 Plate enviro's on the 226 though there mostly on 187 487 and 206 i think now

Nice
Thank you lol
No problem
We just gonna ignore the Ferrari 488 at the start of the vid
lol
Awww man this feels just like 469 moving to GAL
Yeah when you've been around a bus route with the same operator for years, you're gonna feel a certain way when it finally changes
As of November 2022, this Ex-First London batch of Metroline TEs has been withdrawn from TFL service. This includes TE1981-2000
Read description ⬆️⬆️
Nice journey! The fact these buses are leaving 2 months right after 226 is awarded to RATP
Thank you :) I wasn't sure when they'd be withdrawn but it looks like they'll be around for a short time in 2023
@@westlondonerstravels578 Yh these are being withdrawn once 187/487 get retained
@@nwl_transport ah ok, I thought they would stay past March 4th since only 10 electrics were specified for introduction on that date according to my source. I personally didn't think that would be enough buses to cover both routes so I assumed there would be some DEs left as spares mainly for the 487. Both routes 187 and 487 will get electrics at the same time then ig

I got that bus with that noise too its so strange

Its a shame ADL didn't get ZF Ecomat for the Euro 5-6 E400's. Still like them though. Nice video!
Thanks very much! And yeah, it's weird how former SLN 2012-reg Mercedes Benz Citaros had Ecomat gearboxes but the 2012 ADLs didn't. Oh well, this was a good run nevertheless
@@westlondonerstravels578 agreed
Nice! Happy these are allison! Any ones with kick?
Thanks, I believe that the 8.9m batch on route U9 have it. There are kickdown videos of the U9 out there so check them out to be sure 👍🏾

Extended Bodies for Most of the Buses Much as I am not comfortable to ask the depot why they stopped running the London Suburban Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Gardner 6LX and Gardner 6LXC Diesel Engine Olympian ECW’s on routes N26, 30, 121, 230, 271, 349, N279 And 158 why can’t we make the same make of the Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Gardner 6LX and Gardner 6LXC Diesel Engine Olympian ECW Buses but Modernise the insides of these Buses. Also make it low floor up and down and also extend the middle body part of these vehicles a little bit more so there will be more space for the wheelchair users.

Been at G for nearly a year. Not “recent” at all mate. Plus it came from PB not ON.
The Metroline-interior Voith gearboxed E400s have only been at G in the space of one or two months since this upload, actually - sorry if you found the title misleading. A few months is still pretty recent compared to "nearly a whole year" which you was suggesting. These were also rarely in service since they were held at the grounds in preparation to be allocated to Route E9 which Metroline commenced operating yesterday. The Metroline-interior ZF gearboxed E400s were the ones that were transferred from PB - those are the ones that have been at G for nearly a year or from what I'd seen, since 2019. The reason I thought the Voiths were transferred from ON was because that garage was the one that had Voiths which were (and still are) specially allocated to Route 204 with a few of them slipping on Route 483 during the past 2 years - a rare working which I captured btw. And ON is the garage more likely to transfer some of the Voith E400s to G due the fact that it's closing down soon. In fact, all of ON's vehicles will be transferred to different garages at some point before closure. My main point is that Alperton is much closer to Greenford than Potters Bar is to Greenford. Perhaps PB transferred the Voiths to ON before ON transferred some of the Voiths to G and in that case, the Voiths were still transferred from ON to G.
Nice
