Go-Ahead London powermode Volvo B9TL WVL438 LJ61GWX - route 89
This one is rapid - one of the best Bexleyheath B9s I've found so far. Just need a run up Shooters Hill on this without a car in front!
This bus was serving route 89 from Slade Green to Lewisham Station.

One of the 358's Citaros getting a good ragging. With the Irizar electrics finally undergoing route testing these shouldn't have too long left on here, but then again they've taken so long that who knows!

WVL461 seen here with some vigorous driving out on 51s.

One of Carousel Buses' recent acquisitions is this excellent batch of Citaro C2s from sister Go-Ahead company Pulhams.

4484 out on 12s sounding pretty decent with a good ZF.

4511, one of a fair amount of B7TLs still going at West Bromwich, seen here on its regular route 5. It doesn't seem to have working kickdown, but it shifts pretty well. Of more interest is the intermittent cooling fan, which can't seem to decide if it's on or off, cutting in and out every few seconds at some points!

One of four ex RATP Scanias at Uno, now part of the last batch of Scanias on TfL service - which is a scary thought! This one is working the emergency timetable on Sullivan Buses route 298, following that company's sudden withdrawal from TfL service. Being an emergency timetable, it basically involves flooring it to keep to time - so whilst these 10reg SPs aren't known for being that exciting i...
