Lengthy Everything - Route 453 NBfL Conversion

The post is later that it would usually be because of the lengthy amount of time the 453 took to be fully converted from Enviro 400 operation to hybrid Borismaster operation. Notably, it is an ex-articulated bus operation which had been the only articulated bus route to change operator with articulated buses! Thus this conversion also converts the 453 back to free boarding from all doors. Anyhow, the 453 started converting in October, and there are still odd conventional buses appearing on the 453 two months later!

The OPO LT conversion has also led to door announcements being used due to the rear platform door opening inwards.

These buses also have the white Go-Ahead logo, as what seems to be the standard for LTs nowadays.

I'd assume this bus is still awaiting an advertisement.


453 to Dulwich Library? Or rather the 12 to LTs?

The conversion has taken so long, the 137 conversion has been nearly completed within the 453 conversion duration. The 137 was also a gradual conversion, and will probably take less than a month!
