Rainy FRV. Go Ahead London Route 104 Beckton Bus Stn - Stratford. Enviro 400 EH12 (SN61 DBO)

Today’s video is a Rainy FRV on the route 104 from Beckton to Stratford. I’ve been wanting to do the route for some time but I haven’t really been that bothered, but when I was on half term I did it straight away. It was nice getting the transferred Enviro 400 and tbh this definitely suit the route! It’s great to RR getting more of a variety now lol. The route wasn’t that long and was actually really nice. If it wasn’t for it being 9° I would’ve enjoyed it more lol.Thankfully the visual wasn’t ruined because I defo didn’t wanna get a cold lol, idek how I didn’t get a cold lol. Despite the route being not that long, I defo recommend trying it out. It’s peaceful and nice. The first driver was extremely slow but we were very early lol. We left 2 mins early and barely anyone got on the bus between Beckton and Upton Park.Between and we only stopped twice 😂😂 probs coz of the closed bus stop at Upton Park . Moving on, I’d defo rate the route an 6/10 (ik it’s kind of boring but whatever).
