      This was my final trip to White City, so I ragged it. In service back to Uxbridge then signed off for good, started new career the following Monday. Never enjoyed service bus driving more than when doing the 607!

      cbreezer15 These are very nice buses. The best ones are the LF52 ones that Go Ahead London use to have the ex BV Bus Garage but they are now in Yorkshire with a company called Yorkpullman and have been converted into a single door bus. My favourite was LF52 THU and LF52 TGU because of their whining gearboxes.☺️

    Nice, I see the driver liked to put his foot down a little bit

      I did indeed - these Volvos were amazing to drive, pity there were so few in London!
