120 is going to Metroline? I wonder if this will change where the bus picks up passengers at Hounslow bus station, as I believe the 120 has its own stop there, but as you know the bus station is a London United garage.
@New Routemaster Fan Wouldn't say I hate them but I'm not a fan at all. One or two routes will need to convert back to conventionals and those HT VWHs will need a new home.
They won't for at least a little while yet. Metroline signed a three year exclusive deal for these which I believe still has some months left to run (seeing as it must have been signed after the 332's E400H MMCs were ordered).
Yes, had Gabriel telling me about this for however long. Mostly because of the new allocation to the 120. He showed me them running on the 105 in the first day on lvf. Caught a 285 from Heathrow to Hatton and was kinda disgusted, confused yet amused that I saw the 90 with a VWH. Now I though PA already had Gem 3s which they do. But what I didn't pay attention to was that the 90 had the facelift back (the red has a traingle-like shape rather than rectangle) and PA's original LK14s don't have them. What I was always confused by was why AC was supposed to get more VWHs when it already had some, but now I understand. When I first read the description, I also got confused when I read "120", "260" and "302" altogether, but now remembering how those three routes needed it, this makes sense.
1) Nice to hear you comment after a while LOL, exams finished? 2) Whos Gabriel? 3)Yes, saw that too, one made its way on the 297 yesterday for the first time too 4)The 7's VWHs moved to PV, and 90 is getting new VWHS later on in the year, as well as the 222,6,98, and a few more, I think the 17? 5)Yeah, hence the VWH blinded for the 460 :)
Ah. The good old days when they were new and the top front window of arriva ones didnt have a crack and a mess downstairs in them

I thought the station is next to the garage
You could be right, for some reason I thought the bus station and garage were part of the same complex.
I've been there for like 10 seconds...it's similar to Edgware Bus Station/Garage if you want to Google that too
Look forward to seeing them on the 4 and 17. Wonder if they'll order any for the 43.
the order for the 17 should be arriving this summer I believe
43 will get a mix of VWH’s and VMH’s in April 2019
@New Routemaster Fan Is that official? I really hope not. Where would they be coming from anyway? The 390? The 91?

Cool buses, have you seen one yet! I have been trying to find them for ages and have only found one
use lvf.io !!
ive been on the 120 so much times
Watching this now and knowing most are refurbished
I certainly expect Metroline to order something different very soon. :O
I dont think they will

Was I wrong in thinking that the MMCs would appear on the 113? Maybe they're just inheriting the older E400H buses from the old 139 route.
Yes..MMCS were never ordered but they were suggested ...but ML have many e400s spare this summer

1) No
2) My friend. *****
3) Okay
4) 222, yes. But why 6 and 98? They have enough, not to mention the 52's LK62s...
5) Okay
The 6 & 98s VWHS were ordered for the 245 contract I think, and the new ones are actually for them I believe
Good thing I did a route summary on that BEFOREHAND.
London are messing up my routesssss.... :(
So the 6 and 98 were never supposed to get LK15s or...
This is so dead. At least the 113 still has TEs...
When are you going to 260 and 302
what do you mean
I mean when are going to do a video of 260 and 302 in Gemini 3 Hybrids
I will see
Are you going to you film them on the first day
maybe
Cool vid!
Shame they aren't TEHs, but then again it is Willesden, and there are people that love them... 😉
Isn't 222 and 460 getting them as well?
Yes, the batch for the 460 and 222 along with the batch for the 6, 98 and the 90 will come later on in the year
My hands were shaking a lot, it was my first filming event for a long time,
yep
BusesInLondon ah cool, ok.
Thanks 😉
Nice, isn't 222 going to get them as well?
yep but newer ones coming in august
Jenkins Buses Thanks.
Why don’t Metroline get new Alexander Dennis buses. These days they most of the time get Gemini 3’s
Because of quality issues, delays and price
Imagine one on the 395!
They wont be blinded for the 395
i dont deckers can do the 395 i think due to low trees around northolt but i am not sure
yeah, the VWs would have been on the route then
I'm only joking
LOL
I thought they would of got the normal g3
Theyre not available
Nice
thanks
Where actually on Google Maps is this place?
this is mutiple places this is the perivale west garage and perivale east garages
West :)
I can get a 105 there, is that correct?
When your feeling better, Ill tell you :)
Thanks😊
120 bus at southall
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Well the ugly replacement for the VP's and VP's are great buses.
the looks get to you i guess
Yeah I absolutely hate the looks of a VWH, Too modern
Hattasdod Ham
260 to white city
Dowland Cross City
266 to hammersmith
267 to join hammer St Andrews
I don't like these buses but nice video.
They are actually a better bus overall (build quality too) compared to other available buses on the market
BusesInLondon+ I like the MCV Evoseti, BYD and the E400 MMC.
No more vp
still VP at UX on U4
And HD
Yep some on H12
And 140 but not very often anymore with gemini 3
Yep
