Brentford Festival, Route 65X & Central Line Replacement 01/09/13

This post (and a few others) are a month late due to my workload, and complicated issues. Anyway...

Firstly, I decided to follow up on something I found on a local website about Chiswick about Routemasters in Brentford. They used the old 237 number (657) for a shuttle around Brentford and Hanwell for the Brentford Festival.

Timetable of 657

I rode it to Hanwell:

I then went to Ealing Broadway to cover the 65X and the Central Line Replacement:


Sullivan ELV8 on Rail Replacement Central Line, Ealing Broadway


Metroline West VW1817 on Route 427, Ealing Broadway
One of the last buses to still have First logos in Metroline West (former First Centrewest).

I then went on the 65X:

I returned to Ealing Broadway:

London United TA211 on Route 65X, Ealing Broadway


Metroline West DE1648 on Route 226, Ealing Broadway

I then (weirdly) decided to go to White City to cover more Rail Replacement:


Sullivan PDL26 on Central Line Rail Replacement, Ealing Broadway


Sullivan ALX6 on Central Line Rail Replacement, White City


Arriva Shires 3952 on Central Line Rail Replacement, White City


Arriva Shires 3867 on Central Line Rail Replacement, White City


Arriva Shires 3880 on Central Line Replacement, White City


Sullivan ELV5 on Rail Replacement, Shepherd's Bush

And finally...

London United OV62 on Route 283*, Goldhawk Road
Weirdly, at the time, there was a diversion away from Shepherd's Bush Road that just started, as I saw whilst I was waiting for a 94. There didn't seem to be a problem at the time from what I saw, thus it could've been an accident. It went via 94/237 and 266 to Hammersmith.
