Travel London 8061 on Route H28, Hounslow, 2007

A scene probably never to be repeated again, even after 2008, because of one Stagecoach ALX200/Dart in the background on the H98, on loan to LU due to iBus floats. LU VA10x is on the 111 on the far left.

But the main focus is H28 and the bus X322 KRX:
Travel London 8061, now Abellio London 8061 started out as a Tellings-Golden Miller bus, for the H28, initally at Fulwell. It had the TGM white/yellow/blue livery, like all their buses at that time, due to now 80% red rule outside of Central London. However, when National Express took over TGM, and placed it under Travel London, it was repainted red (eventually) and transferred to Hayes (the former Wings Buses garage) along with the route. After its life with the H28 ending with it getting new, 10.2m E20Ds (see post by JPN), it is now in BC for Route 599 (see another post) and other routes.

H28 is still a Hounslow local linker, first with London & Country at a Hounslow base, then with Tellings-Golden Miller after L&C was taken over by Arriva. It had East Lancs bodied Darts. To provide a better bus than that, these X-reg buses were ordered. However, the H28 has gotten strength to strength, and under Abellio, it now has E20Ds with Abellio's newest interior.

Meanwhile:
The Stagecoach ALX200 bodied darts were at Hounslow for a short time, and did mainly appear on the "Bath Road single deckers" - 81, 222, H98. But they went back after the T-reg darts were returned to AV.

The VA - started at AV, and now not at AV anymore, always had been at AV for most of it's career (mainly for 111, 120*, H32). However, towards it's end, it had service on the 81/222 pre-ADE and possibly FW/TV/V service. Weirdly, the newest VAs (52 and W reg ones) aren't in service, but the V reg have a few still in service!
