Part 4.
First London hasn't totally left, as I go to their last stronghold. Romford. Yet, they have already lost routes as the routes that they aren't going to lose by October were given to Go-Ahead Blue Triangle. The routes are: 193, 368, 498, 608, 646, 648, 652, 656, 667, 679 and 686. 193 and 498 run in Romford, thus I covered this change there.

New logos, and the old/new fleet numbers. Nice work, Go-Ahead

You can tell here, hastily in a rush they removed the First website here. Some scratches there...

Unfortunately, I didn't spend too long at Romford, mainly for lunch, but partly so I could get to Pimlico by 2pm for covering the 24, again, but with some of the team, and others.

Part 5, the final part, will include the Metroline West and Tower Transit takeover of First London.
