ReplyDeleteif the 453 gets some borismasters, then i suppose the e400's could transfer to camberwell garage's rout 45 to release the batch of PVL's(plaxton president Volvo's).
ReplyDeleteYep that could happen but I'm certain the 1 would get some off the 453 with the rest heading to the 45 if the rumours for the 453 NRMs are true.
Deleteyeah the VWL's off the 1 could go to the 45. Then the PVL's can be released onto other camberwell-based routes that require more capacity such as the 42,P5 and the 360 to boots their services.
DeleteAt the moment Ben, the 453 conversion seem it will go ahead but if it does then certainly the VWLs to the 45 with PVLs more likely sent for the 42/360. P5 can't take DDs I think and could you refrain from using the name South London Bus Blog as my blog is called the South London Bus Blog. Something else would be better.
