| On 10th July 2023 I joined Ray Monk and Dave Wolstencroft to visit a few locations in North London, first up being Northumberland Park Garage. This Go-Ahead London base has a large allocation of electric buses and, being rather remote, also has lots of crew ferry vehicles. Three of the Mercedes Vito minibuses are visible in this view (WV71ZVS, RX71SYS, RX71SYU), all of which have the blue driver recruitment advertising on the sides and rear. Indeed of 9 Vitos noted during our visit, only one remained in the previous unmarked red livery. Beyond the minibuses on the right is an SEe class bus displaying blinds for former Red Arrow route 507. This, and route 521, were withdrawn at the end of April 2023, being replaced by changes to various other routes. The buses used on Red Arrow routes always had fewer seats than normal, as they were short journeys carrying heavy loads. The SEe buses are now being fitted with additional seats for use on normal services elsewhere in London. |
