Route Visual | Thameslink Rail Replacement - London Blackfriars To Swanley | E283 (YX14RUA)

So, a Thameslink rail replacement service ran from Herne Hill to Swanley last Sunday, however the first 4 departures early in the morning started from Blackfriars station instead, which were at 5:28, 5:58 (cancelled last minute), 6:28 and 6:58. I got the first bus at 5:28, and the journey was almost 2 and a half hours long, however it felt like eternity as the driver regulated for ages at Crofton Park, Catford and Beckenham Junction. The bus was also held for a while at Herne Hill, but that was because my driver had to help another driver who was following us throughout the whole journey.
This was filmed on E283, an E400 part of Go-Ahead London's commercial fleet, operating out of their Luton garage.
I hope you are all safe and well. Please remember to keep a safe distance, wear a face mask at all times, unless you are exempt, and apply hand sanitiser.

Are you new to this channel? If so, hey, I'm GreaterLondonBuses! Here you will find many transport videos on buses, including visuals, journeys, observations, and occasionally Ibus announcements and blind changes. I rarely do train videos, but I'll do them when I can. I often film multiple videos during the day, but only go out to film at least twice a week, so I upload quite frequently, so feel free to subscribe and give my videos a like if you're interested! Looking at the statistics, about 71% of my viewers aren't subscribed to my channel, lets make that percentage smaller!

Instrumental good. Nice visual.

[@GuyArab]

I was most interested to see this video as I am quite familiar with (some) of the route and am pleased that you indicate in your visuals, the other routes which serve the stops.

Nice visual! I'm confused as to why the service stopped at Herne Hill that just seems like a waste of time tbh.

How comes your intro has no voice?

[@gamerbus319]

What routes were the GAL YX14 buses previously allocated to?

[@TheTransportSpotter]

They’re part of the commercial fleet, so not allocated to anything.
