| Seen at Chase Farm Hospital (Enfield) on 12th September 2024, this unmarked Kia Niro 3 electric car was in use as a crew ferry vehicle from Metroline's Potters Bar Garage. This location is the terminus for routes W8 and W9. The former is run by Metroline using double-deckers, while the latter was worked by Sullivan Buses until their withdrawal from TfL work in August 2024. Stagecoach London provided cover until a new contract was awarded to Metroline in September. Note the Optare Solo bus parked behind. Stagecoach London has recently disposed of the fleet of these buses that it inherited from Hackney CT, leaving just 7 examples in London, all with Metroline. Six are at Cricklewood for use on routes H2 and H3 (and 631), while an elderly ex-Arriva example is at Potters Bar to provide a reserve bus for commercial route PB1. The bus seen here is presumed to be the latter, perhaps parked up as a crew rest vehicle. |
