Firstly, the three days of ADH26 on Route E3, taken of two days only:
London United ADH26 on Route E3, Chiswick (Aubrey, 02/07/14)
London United ADH26 on Route E3, Chiswick Edensor Road (Aubrey, 03/07/14)
This driver told me that these E40H were quieter, faster and better than the SPs on the route (which is true). Drivers were looking jealously at the ADH driver as they passed!
The London United division also changed SPs on the H91, but this time to single decker Enviro 200s:
London United DE4 on Route H91, Gunnersbury Station (Aubrey, 03/07/14)
But the larger shock came from further north, where Lewis was in massive awe when looking at the LVF to find VH15 on Route 114, his dream working. My dream working is nearly impossible (ADE on Route N9) due to cleaning, so that's another matter...:
London Sovereign VH15 on Route 114, Ruislip Station (Aubrey, 07/07/14)
The driver of this one seemed to gloat to the other drivers of his hybrid bus, which did seem to go faster than most other buses on Route 114.
"IT FINALLY HAPPENED!!" by Lewis JN (07/07/14)
The title of that photo just sums up Lewis's feelings of this working. Relief and joy.
"Even the general public noticed a difference - I overheard someone describe the bus as 'beautiful', so I'm not the only one of that opinion :D "
London Sovereign VH15 on Route 114, Tithe Farm (which is between South Harrow & South Ruislip) (Lewis, 07/07/14)
But just to add more oddness, a more common VH stray occurred (but still more rare than a VH on the 605):
London Sovereign VH22 on Route 183, Harrow Bus Station (Aubrey, 07/07/14)
The only reason I could think of that made the VHs go on the 183 and 114 is that the Tour de France allowed them to stray onto the route due to the reduced PVR of Route 13... I know Lewis will want more of the 114 variant of this working!

How common is a VH on 292?
ReplyDeleteIt hadn't happened when this post was published but since then a few workings have occurred. They're not all that frequent, definitely more odd than a VH on the 114 or 183, but they are becoming increasingly common.
