I love how all the LX09 Es still contain AL codes. These buses do suit the 269 and I actually don’t mind GAL on the 99/269. The 401 is easy to get use to considering it’s seen B9TLs and E400s under GAL’s previous operation. Interesting fact is that WVL358/359 were part of the 229’s allocation and also part of the 401’s too initially under GAL so basically two natives returned to the 401
Idk what it is about the 269 but no matter what operator it's with it seems to get fast drivers. Maybe because it's mostly A roads and B roads but Idk.
@@nathanw9770 That's true, I've gotten some really fast runs on the 269 and it's always as fast or sometimes faster than the SL3. I think the timetable is quite tight as well, some journeys can take around 30 minutes at night which is quite impressive.
I regret going to bexleyheath on January 3rd and had to rush for 269 train so I coughed up nothing At least I still have a throwback for long ago of T80 on 99 Ex DT routes always suit g2 and E400s people who don’t think it’s true are probably new Routemaster fan
@Jackthegamer329 the SL4 will be electric on day one and will probably never see a diesel bus on it since the Silvertown Tunnel only allows electric buses.
@Jackthegamer329 I think they could be withdrawn since the Electroliners for the BX routes will probably be arriving soon and GAL don't need that many spare buses to cover for electrics. The 129 will also be electric from day one for the same reasons as the SL4.
@@cooldude-12-1 I wouldn't stop them because of climate change and stuff. They've got bigger problems and shouldn't be worrying too much about enthusiasts imo
@@chandlerbstransport422 oh yeah. I guess Norwood would be about the same distance from the 335 as DT although I'm not sure if they have space with the 196 and SL6 moving in (apparently the SL6 will be at BN temporarily which I kind of predicted).
Great video as always my friend. I admire the time and dedication you take to record the footage and then put it all together ❤👍🏾🔥🔥
@@ManlykefreshINC thanks for the support!
It was nice to meet you on the first day of 269 with Go-Ahead 👍

These buses suit really good on routes 269, especially 99 and 401
@@londonbus180 agreed, I'm loving the variety we're getting on these routes
At 2:12 the bus has a weird back engine cover(look closely)
Also I may be wrong but an enviro400 showed on the 269 at 0:44 Used to have its engine taped up And so was the side of it
Interesting

yeah it's funny how they've been carrying AL codes while at so many different garages.
@@MostlyBuses1 It happened on the 299 first day too
@LB141toPalmersGreen yeah they had no time to replace them. I do miss E200s on the 200 although WVLs are better
From the 3 routes, I think only 401 actually suits go ahead, 99 and 269 would better suit arriva, especially the db300s
I don't mind GAL on the 99 and 269 tbh
This is GAL’s first rodeo ever with the 269 so let’s see what they can do ❤🙌🏾🙏🏾

@Lx11awu_studios oh that's unlucky. Hopefully you have time to come back and do the routes again before the electrics arrive.
Do you know if the 118 Enviro 400 will be temp on SL4
@Jackthegamer329 the SL4 will be electric on day one and will probably never see a diesel bus on it since the Silvertown Tunnel only allows electric buses.
@@MostlyBuses1oh
Do you know where they would go and 129 will get Electric before it gets extended

@Jackthegamer329 The 129 is electric on the same day when the extension happens! ,:)

There are one BZL running on the 316

It's a shame they're not permanent

I don't really have an opinion on it but it's ok I guess
