Route 233 23/02/13

Metrobus has regained route 233 with small 8.9m Enviro 200s to the WTA specification, including offside emergency door. I went from Eltham to Swanley, Beechenlea Lane where the bus terminates at a turning circle. However, due to blind changing, I got pictures of route 233 with different destinations. These are on my flickr:

At Eltham, I saw two 233s standing there:

Metrobus 184 ready for service on Route 233, Eltham. The bus is in the middle of a blind change. More photos of the bus in a blind change are in my set Route 233 on my flickr.


Interior. And yes, it does have that rubber smell.

Metrobus 184 on stand at Swanley, Beechenlea Lane (which is a turning circle, to be truthful).



'233 to Woolwich'. The place seems very rural, and the background is full of bare trees. Again, we are near the M25 though...

Afterwards, I went to Orpington, Romford and other places, but that will be on another post.
