FRV + Diversion. Stagecoach London Route N25. Ilford - Oxford Circus. E400 MMC SH 11398 (SK20 BDX)

Todays video is an FRV on the route N25 from Ilford, Hainault Street to Oxford Circus. This is a route I’ve been planning to do for an extremely long time and thankfully when the time was right I was a able to complete it. The route was shorter than I expected and it felt so wrong to see Romford Road so empty lmao. The driver was pretty fast aswell lmao, it’s a shame he couldn’t go that fast after Stratford since he was early and caught up to the N25 infront lol. It turns out that N25 got delayed so it wasn’t anything to do with us lol. Despite the route basically being a straight line, I enjoyed it a lot and I have no regrets. The route wasn’t that dodgy and I kinda felt safe lol, ikr that’s so weird. The only dodgy thing was some crackhead falling over on the bus and getting a free ride lol. When he fell he had a loud reaction which kinda shook me a bit since I was tired and the bus was relatively quiet other than the fan. Idk why the fan was on since it wasn’t that hot but oh well. That guy was kinda nice and was waffling to everyone that there are some kind people in this world. The route was nice and quick and I’d defo rate it an 8/10.

Thanks and fr fr 😤😤

[@TheLondonMood]

Nice visual :) I miss the old 25 when it went to oxford circus and ilford 😢

[@RR_Buses]

Thanks and yeah it was jks seeing them bunch up

[@rexelgamez8999]

N25 Is just The Original 25 I hope 25 gets Restored To Oxford Circus and becomes 24hrs again

[@RR_Buses]

If it did then it would be a madness 😭😭 the route is already long enough so i don’t think there’s a need for it to be extended again

[@ImShabzKnowledgeableAdventures]

Yes there is

[@ImShabzKnowledgeableAdventures]

And besides it’s only 10ish miles. They are routes even longer than that. Before 427 was withdrawn between Acton and Southall it was minim 11 to 12 miles which is known as the second split for route 207. And the distance to Oxford Circus from city Thameslink is not that deep. Y’all exaggerating about it. But to be fair is is kinda long but they are tubs of routes longer than or like routes 25 such as Routes 140, 88, 55, 36, 47, 53, 64, 89, 96, 102, 111, 112, 113, 122, 142, 149, 176, 183, 205, 207, 226, 243, 279, 313, 321, 341.
25 will be another useful bus to Oxford cuz there ain’t no connection and useful for commuters in areas like Stratford, Bow, City of London, Newham and ilford

[@RR_Buses]

no there isn’t really any need 💀 if commuters are trying to get to Oxford Circus from east they can literally take a train 😭 or just take 25 to city Thameslink and get another route towards Oxford street. The route is already long and it would cause more madness on the route and definitely would need a PVR increase

[@ImShabzKnowledgeableAdventures]

@@RR_Buses true. But I think what they'd do is at least extend 8 to Oxford Circus because not everyone takes trains especially the elderly and tourists and it can help with connections to Oxford Circus and bank incase if anything happened to trains including Central line

[@user-np5gf9ct6b]

Basically the old 25. Missed it when it was London’s busiest route and was run by TT.😢

[@johnnystravels2006]

Did you audio edit the 1st song?

[@RR_Buses]

Na but it is an edit tho

[@ramyisthegoat]

Nice video it was great but having the n25 is just useless tho put 25 to oxford circus back and make it 24 hours it will be better then

[@TheBigLemon679]

One main reason 25 got cut was due it to taking too long for drivers

[@ramyisthegoat]

@@TheBigLemon679 I hated that tbf rosh

[@TheBigLemon679]

@@ramyisthegoatfair enough but feel bad for the drivers lol would take 1h45 - 2 hours during peak times

[@RR_Buses]

Thanks! Another reason the 25 got cut was because there were too many buses at Oxford Circus
