The Streetdeck vs The Gemini 3 - Which is better?

The Streetdeck vs The Gemini 3 - Which is better? Background on the Gemini 3 : Back in late 2013 the Gemini 3 was born, initially on a Volvo B5TL chassis, there was only 4 ever in London, all of which were demonstrators and were the following: V6 BF63HFE (Demonstrator for Go Ahead) VGD1 BF63HDE (Demonstrator for Arriva) VW1469 BF63HDG (Demonstrator for Metroline) V6 (2) BJ14KTL (Second Demonstrator for Go Ahead) Of these VGD1 & VW1469 remained in London after they finished their spells with Arriva and Metroline and headed off to Go Ahead by summer 2015 where they were renumbered WVL509 & 510. The B5TLs were quickly followed with the B5LH hybrid equivalent, which saw no more B5TLs ordered as London was heading towards a more hybrid based fleet at the time. The first set of B5LHs to arrive was Stagecoach's 13001-13032 for Plumstead (PD) depot for their flagship route 53, this was quickly followed by Metrolines VWH2001-2023 for Perivale [East] garage, where they were destined ...

The Optare Fiasco

Image
Intro On Friday the 22nd May a fire broke out at Metroline Potters Bar [PB] depot, with the bus going up in flames being an Optare Metrodecker, this has since led to the grounding of every fleet of these vehicles in the UK since, however this is not the first time the Metrodecker has faced an issue... Route 134 Back in 2019, the 43 & 134 were the first 2 double deck routes to go electric upon tender, both were to get different batches of vehicles. The 43 received 37 Enviro 400 City EV vehicles (BDEs) at Holloway [HT] garage and the 134 received 31 Optare Metrodecker EV vehicles (OMEs) at Potters Bar [PB], as seen below: OME2663 & OME2667 by VP500 However, from the very start the 134 was plagued by issues. The batch of buses began arriving very late, however the 134 had already gained a temporary allocation of hybrids due to the ULEZ coming into force in April 2019, which affected the 134 at the time due to it terminating at Tottenham Court Road, which was within the zone. The t...

Route 240

Image
  Route 240  Introduction to the 240 The 240 is a very quaint little route running through the quieter suburbs of North West London, it also happens to be Londons oldest, least changed route, having not had a single routing change since introduction in 1934. Routing The 240 takes the following routing: Edgware Station Hale Lane Mill Hill Broadway Station The Ridgeway (Also referred to as Mill Hill Village) Mill Hill East Station Holders Hill Hendon Brent Street Golders Green Station Brief History Whilst the routing for this route has always remained the same, it was initially split into 2 sections due to a low bridge at Mill Hill Broadway. The split saw the Mill Hill Broadway to Golders Green section of the route use double deck AEC Regent III RTs, whereas the Edgware to Mill Hill Broadway part used single deck Leyland Tiger TDs. The latter section was initially numbered the 240a and was extended via Page Street & Copthall Sports...
