Merry Christmas everyone! Apologies for the inactivity, started a new job last month and has been non-stop since. This was supposed to go up yesterday but was having problems with WMM. Enjoy!
Back in October I returned to the Isle of Wight for their annual Wightrider weekend event, which was just as good as last year, however the day before I decided to go out and visual at least one Southern Vectis route. This was the quickest route I could do before meeting some friends for a meal afterwards.
This is route 1 which runs between Newport Bus Station and Cowes Co-op in two different directions, one via Four Cross, and the other via Somerton Park & Ride, and this visual covers both. This was the 17:13 off Newport and the 17:40 off Cowes.

![*Thrash* Southern RRP Journey | Southdown Buses Scania N250UD / ADL Enviro400 MMC | 503 (YN18SCV)
This was a Southern rail replacement service from East Croydon to East Grinstead, a service that only had three buses from 7am to 7:30am. Out of the three buses that operated, this was the only fast service, which meant this was the only double decker, all the all stations services were both E200 MMCs.
503 (YN18SCV) is a Southdown Buses Scania N250UD Alexander Dennis Enviro400 MMC from their Crawley Down (CD) garage.

![*Thrash + Amazing Voith* Journey On The SEBF Feeder Service | DAF DB250 ALX400 - 6007 (KL52CWW)
Happy Easter everyone!
Todays upload was originally supposed to be a deadrun journey on the now withdrawn WHV1 from the N136, recorded back on New Years. However, due to the SD card incident, I no longer have the footage. This will do instead though.
This was a feeder service ran by Arriva Kent between Tunbridge Wells and the event. We were lucky enough to get on at the garage, whilst everyone else got on later. However, due to an incident that happened on the way back to TW, these services will now be invite-only.
KL52UWW was new to Arriva The Shires in December 2002. It then passed from Arriva The Shires to Arriva London North in the New Year of 2016, along with the now closed Garston (GR) garage. 6007 is now owned by Arriva Kent under Arriva Southern Counties, from their Tunbridge Wells (TW) garage, and is a regular passenger service bus. This bus has a really nice voith retarder, reminds me of my childhood.

![*New Operator + Squealing* Metrobus London Route 463 Journey | ADL Enviro 200 Dart | 192 (YY13VKS)
Due to Quality Line and Epsom garage closing soon, route 463 transferred to Metrobus London from their Croydon (C) garage. I didnt cover this on the first day as it was just Streetlites that transferred with it, and this was one of the first times an E200 did the route since then, except some that did V463.

![*New Allocation* London United Route 111 Journey | Wright New Routemaster | LT89 (LTZ1089)
So for some reason, RATP decided to start placing LTs on the 111, taken from PVR cuts of other LT allocated routes. LTs are also apparently being trialled on routes H32/H98, but only time will tell whether they will pass or not.
Despite the 111 being a nightmare of a route, this run wasnt that bad, besides annoying passengers of course, which prevented me from filming the driver hitting 40mph. If you want to ride and/or record this route, Id say the best parts are between Heathrow Central and The Avenue, and between Hampton Station and Wood Street.
Also, ignore any obnoxious music in the background if you can hear it. I couldnt be asked to get this back to Heathrow, so youll have to deal with it unfortunately.
London bus route 111 is operated by RATP Group: London United from their Hounslow (AV) garage, allocated with Scania Omnicity N230UD (SP) and Wright New Routemasters (LT). Route 111 will pass to Abellio London from the 30th of April 2022, operating from their Fulwell (TF) garage using most likely E400 EVs.

![*DIVERTED THRASH* Arriva London Route 405 Journey | Alexander Dennis Enviro400 MMC | HT18 (SK70BVN)
Last week, from Monday to Thursday, due to resurfacing works on the A23, London Road North was closed, preventing routes 357 (non-TFL) and 405 from serving Redhill via Merstham. So, some 405 buses ran short via regular routing up to Hooley, which was its new temporary terminus, while other buses were able to serve Redhill via this diversion.
This diversion started from Purley Cross, following the 407 via Kenley and Whyteleafe. It then took the third exit from the roundabout (the 407 takes the 4th exit), and travelled along the Caterham Bypass (a 50mph National Speed Limit (NSL) section), until the next roundabout, were it again took the third exit. The 405 then followed Metrobus 400 via Godstone and Nutfield all the way up to Redhill. Here are the timestamps of each section:
Intro: 0:00
Via 407: 0:35
A22 Caterham Bypass (NSL): 8:09
Via 400: 12:30
Via 400 (A25 Section): 15:00
Entering Redhill (End Of Diversion): 24:07
Outro: 24:42
London bus route 405 is operated by Arriva London South from their South Croydon (TC) garage, allocated with Alexander Dennis Enviro400 MMC (HT) double deckers.

![FULL ROUTE VISUAL | Stagecoach London Route 180: Erith Quarry To North Greenwich - 14166 (LG71DRV)
A few things Id like to make clear:
1. Apologies for the inactivity, for the past couple weeks Ive been looking for suitable editors to replace WMM, as Ive recently been handed down a Mac from my dad. As it is a 2009 version, there are a lot of limitations, such as not being able to install most of the apps due to the Mac being outdated, meaning that most of the editors Ive found are really old and cheap. So, Ive decided to stick with what I have now.
2. Yes, Im aware of the poor quality of this visual. This was a test for a phone I got back in February as part of my contract, having been told that this phone had an amazing camera... which it doesnt. Both the camera and audio qualities are horrible, and Im now stuck with this phone until the next contract in 2024, or buy a new phone myself if I can afford it, which I cant at the moment. Please try to enjoy this if you can. I may invest in a gopro.
Anyway, as the long awaited Crossrail has finally arrived, so have the changes for some of South East Londons routes. Some were minor changes, while others were major, with the 180 having the most major change. Not only was it extended from Belvedere to Erith Quarry, but it was also re-routed from Charlton to now terminate at North Greenwich as oppose to Lewisham, with that section being replaced by an extended 129.
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.

With everyone focused on the east London Crossrail changes, lets not forget that today is also the last day of route 135 with Go-Ahead London. Tomorrow it will pass to Tower Transit from Lea Interchange garage (LI) with the Wright Gemini 3s that were used on the temporary route 733. Whether Im doing the first 135 or first 304 hasnt been decided yet, but both routes will be covered tomorrow.

![*Last Day + Full Journey* Abellio London Route E1 | Alexander Dennis Enviro400H | 2450 (SK14SYZ)
Yes, this is the full journey, Im not joking. Probably because I filmed the first journey towards Greenford, and considering this was my second attempt at this route (the first try had too much traffic and I barely got anything done), this was still underwhelming imo. Hopefully the Osterley extension makes the route better, however that has apparently been postponed until Crossrail finally opens, and who knows when thatll be. Anyway, enjoy!
Today is the last day of route E1 with Abellio West London. From tomorrow, it will pass to London United under RATP Group from their Hounslow garage.

![*NEW ALLOCATION + FULL JOURNEY* Arriva London Route (N)264 | ADL Enviro400 MMC | HT19 (SK70BVB)
Last Sunday, three HTs were sent out on route 264 very late into the day. They stayed on throughout the night, and everyone thought that it was a one time thing, until it started happening every night, which meant that it was a new allocation. Apparently its part of TFLs scheme to make every night route use hybrid or electric buses.
Here is the full journey of route 264s night service towards Tooting, filmed on HT19 from the 405. This driver was quite fast, and the bus regened a lot.
London bus route 264 is operated by Arriva London South from their Croydon (TC), allocated with Alexander Dennis Enviro 400 Tridents (T) and VDL DB300 Wright Gemini 2s (DW).
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.
Note: I wouldve gotten the HTs on the 312, however something happened which prevented me from getting them, which will be explained in a future video.
