Welcome to the last hour of my 2022 video review of Go-Ahead London Central. Filmed between April and August 2022 (except where otherwise indicated), this part covers routes 343, 360, 363, 386, 436, 453, 469, 484, 486, B11, B12, B16, P12 and X68.
In my humble opinion, the highlights of this video are:
(1) The assortment of old/second-hand vehicles working the 486. These include E131 and E133, still in as-delivered colour scheme and seen only weeks before their departure from Bexleyheath at the end of July (E131 went to Go North East). The oldest vehicles you will see on the route are WVL297/303 dating from November 2009;
(2) The ex-Red Arrow 12 metre ADL E200EVs, which have been up-seated for use on the 360;
(3) The nearly-new E200EV midi-buses which replaced Abellio’s diesel E200s on the 484 in March 2021;
(4) The ex-Abellio E200MMCs used on the 469 and B12, which previously worked the C10, and;
(5) An interesting selection of second-hand buses on the 386, which serves some of the nicest parts of south London.
I hope you enjoy the ride!
