The End of An Era for Stagecoach Route 262. Volvo B9TL Gemini 2 Wright Eclipse. 16994, BJ11EBD.

Well, Stagecoach London has lost both 262 and 473 AGAIN! 😂. I was hoping for a ZF Volvo B9TL but despite being a ZF fan of the Volvo B9TL, The ride on the Voith one was pretty smooth ngl.

Brand new Enviro 400 City EV bodied BYD D8UR-DDs will be introduced on this route. 262 will convert to a full Enviro 400 City EV bodied BYD D8UR-DD operation during 2024.
