@@londonbuses4763 It really must've been awful living on the W9 recently. I remember it being the least reliable route in Enfield (or something) when Sullivan Buses had it.

the next thing TfL need to do is actually add some bus stops. I hate hail & rides in London, on some routes you have to be a local to know where the bus will stop (I now know that the W9's won't usually stop on main roads so people living there will have to walk to a quieter road to get on a bus)

@MostlyBuses1 W video. I'm at Heathrow airport with my brother. And we're now looking at all the buses and bus routes' interior. Please grant us wishes to stay safe. My goodness me that journey was a super thrash at almost the end and almost at the start. XD
Yeah I did do the SL7 end to end. And yeah it's a great route. I did do the interior tour on all buses in Heathrow and I did do the A10 to the bus stop The Square. A bit of an awkward bus stop name innit? I went on DEL2150 & DEL2154 on that route.
For four days but it's missing out a bit of the h&r section. The drivers are nice though and they do stop when you press the bell / put you hand out which is what all drivers should do instead of driving past
@@MostlyBuses1I think the remaining SN09’s that run on W8 are also temporary until summer 2025. LK62’s and LK13’s will soon join in W8 with the electric allocation for 2 types of fleets and then fully go electric after that. For example: SN09CFY now does 606 and 240.

Uxbridge surely they were originally allocated to the 209s when they were new. Also have they been upgraded to smart blinds or still using the old roller blinds?
Yeah I was thinking about that. Maybe it's something to do with the cyber attack? I've noticed it was played at the stop before the diversion and the stop before the end of the loop at Eversley Park Road so maybe it could be something for drivers??

Saw this coming tbh Stagecoach was located way too far for them to logically operate the W9
Yeah they almost certainly didn't bid for it. PB is well suited for the W9 so it's good that they got it with diesels as well
Fairly certain Potters Bar ran it before Sullivan won it in around 2018.
