  • After colliding at Centre Point and blocking Oxford Street, Tottenham Court Road and New Oxford Street, the bus drivers needed to move their buses as the West End easily became gridlocked. But the not-in-service route 25 bus had an engine failure. Happy Tube Strike days..
    route 25 - Tower Transit VN36158 - Volvo B9TL
    route 390 - Metroline LT117 - New Routemaster

    The 'London Transport' bus driver training school, at Chiswick was at one time the best training centre in the world for training bus drivers.
    This particular driver has not received, the intensive and thorough programme of driver and skid training.
    It is in one way not his fault. The blame and fault rests with the company who trained him, and then passed him out as competent. He clearly is not. However many bus drivers today are expected to work longer shifts on duty, because their companies are thinking more about their profits and less about their employees.
    Should you take a ride on a bus in London, you will find many drivers are driving at excessive speeds because they are trying to make up time.
    I do feel very sorry for this man and his colleagues. They are trying to do the impossible. In the end more accidents are going to happen, so please spare a thought for the driver behind the wheel. All the best.👍

    The New Routemaster has a longer wheelbase than most buses! You need more room to turn them after driving regular Enviro and Wright/Eviseto buses!

    Shouldn't have shut the Chiswick training centre where I learned to drive. Saying that, the old Routemasters were much better because you had the wheels up front instead of behind you. Poke them round the corner and the rest of the bus follows. Fantastic buses and a pleasure to drive.

    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. By the way, if you could remake and Modernise these vehicles could they also make it into a Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Gardner 6LX and Gardner 6LXC Diesel Engine Olympian ECW Version’s that if it will be possible and to Modernise the insides of these Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Gardner 6LX and Gardner 6LXC Diesel Engine Olympian ECW’s 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 and even a London Suburban Scania N230UD Enviro 400 MMC and also extend the middle body part of these vehicles a little bit more. Why couldn’t we have those London Suburban Buses Pale red on the top roof Pale red again on the top middle Milk Chocolate brown on the middle Creamy white on the Bottom Middle and Milk Chocolate Brown again on the Bottom on most of those kind of those Particular Double Decker Vehicles. Could you put the Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox in the Scania N230UD Enviro 400 MMC and also put the Loud 3-Speed Voith Diwa Gearbox in the Volvo TD102KF Engine East Lancs Olympus and also extend the middle body part of these vehicles a little bit more and also turn most of them to a London Suburban Buses.

Could they also transfer the Arriva Bus Depots from Hackney to Stagecoach company so they can replace all the Arriva buses so that all of them can go to Birmingham and Leeds and they can be replaced by Stagecoach Loud 3-Speed Voith Diwa Gearbox Volvo TD102KF Engine East Lancs Olympus and also Extend the Middle body part of these Vehicles and that includes A Mixture of a Stagecoach Loud 3-Speed Voith Diwa Gearbox Volvo TD102KF, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 6LXCT Engine Northern Counties Palatine One and that Includes a Loud 4-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Automatic Gearbox Scania N230UD Enviro 400 MMC Vehicles A Little Bit More.
