London buses & trams in Croydon 17/05/2024

Buses and trams around Croydon town centre on 17th May 2024 - locations include George Street, Wellesley Road, Poplar Walk, West Croydon, Reeves Corner and Addiscombe Road. With the 312 extended to Purley, the Optare electrics previously allocated to the route have been stored and diesel Enviro200s are running in their place. Other E200s are in use on Superloop SL5, the only single deck route in that network.
Tramlink was running a reduced service on this day due to a shortage of available trams, the Elmers End branch being suspended entirely. One Variobahn is seen in this video along with several of the older CR4000s.

3:45 wait SL5 with normal bus?

[@astock5000]

ENX16 regularly appears on the SL5 despite not being in Superloop livery. It otherwise is used on the 166 and 312.

12:10 why did it go so fast...

[@ismaeltch5999]

is that considered fast?, plabably was like 20 mph

[@DidrickNamtvedt]

The bus going in the opposite direction right afterwards drove at pretty much the same speed and it wasn't abnormally fast to me.

@@ismaeltch5999 i rarely get to see buses go to a full 20 mph cause the roads r never clear 😅

[@just_chancubi]

@@DidrickNamtvedt maybe the one i pointed out just looked dramatic to me cause it was going round a curve lol 😅
