This month's is an interesting one, a working that has only happened once before (but a few times more since)!
Metroline West VW1397 (LK62DVG) on route 487 at South Harrow Bus Station |
When the 24 contract was awarded to Metroline in November 2012, 24 VWs and 5 VWHs were ordered for the route. Following the NBfL conversion, 24 VWs (not necessarily all the ones from route 24) transferred to Alperton to double-deck route 245. However, the VWHs were transferred to Willesden for the 52 which in turn freed up 5 more VWs which joined the batch at Alperton for route 245. 4 VWs have recently transferred to Brentford to aid the double-deck conversion of route E8, all originally part of a batch ordered for route 43.
If there is anything you wish to add to this explanation, please feel free to comment below.
Next post next month!
The VW's for the E8 are mainly found on the E2/237/190. Only one of the new VW's has made a journey on the E8.
