*Kickdown!* Go Ahead London Central Mercedes Benz O530 Citaro MEC6 BG09 JJY Route 108

28/04/2023
This bus was working Route 108 between Stratford International and Lewisham Station via North Greenwich.
One from a little evening after work riding older London vehicles before they go. The 108s citaros have been earmarked for withdrawal following the withdrawal of Red Arrow routes 507 and 521. As a result, the SEes that were found on the routes have been suggested as appropriate replacements for these. Good excuse to film these then. Slightly keen driver at the helm. Not the best video out there but considering it was an O2 night and the state of North Greenwich atm is a joke, will definitely take this.
