*BANDIT* Journey on Route 104 | E172 (SN61BHD) | Go Ahead London Blue Triangle

About time I upload this :3
Anyway, right here we have E172. Known as one of the weirdest E400s out there. Normally this route is stuck on the 147 and school routes as due to finance they won’t bother updating the blinds as they do have enough buses blinded for it (still when will EH do 104). 147 pretty much uses these E400s pretty much everyday. However, sometimes blue triangle (quite rarely) sticks some of the 147 buses on 104 which pretty much means they have to banditise it. Though when they do come on they only stay out till they get to East Ham Central Park where the driver will wait for a bus that’s actually blinded. In this case E127 came. A brief description, of E172. At the time of recording it was a quite a hoover and has topodyn (though it still does). And the engine just has some problems that just doesn’t all that right. I’ve technically been waiting for E172 to genuinely happen on 104 because I knew when 104 went GAL these 147 E400s can do 104 for a short period of time. So come September, it happened
This bus was serving Route 104 to Manor Park. It goes via Stratford Centre, Stratford Park, Park Grove, Upton Park, Hatherly Gardens, Lonsdale Avenue, East Ham / Central Park, East Ham High Street North (alight here for Ron Leighton Way, East Ham Station and Romford Road. This route (God knows when) will be cut to Lonsdale Avenue but also be extended to Beckton Station. The withdraw section of Route 104 will be replaced by a new route 304 via East Ham, Lonsdale Avenue, Newham Hospital & Custom House. The route 304 will run from Custom House - Manor Park. Again no one knows when this will happen :3
