Saif Jeetoo thanks

[@Darkscythe3991]

Yo busesInLondon nice video can you tell me the music name for when 258 reaches Harrow and Wealdstone stations

[@quintuscrinis]

Great visual, suprised that the camera didn't capture any of the feel of the climb/descent at Roxeth or Harrow.

BusesInLondon btw Driver training has started on the 175 so try to do a visual on that.

[@ho-kitlam8609]

Fabulous!

[@BusesInLondon]

Ho-Kit Lam thanks

[@ho-kitlam8609]

BusesInLondon Will you do any other routes in Harrow?

[@BusesInLondon]

Ho-Kit Lam what else is left?

[@rafidavis4326]

Great visual. Very excited for this transfer. I think some DWs will go and some VLAs will go once this has transferred and I don't expect a single double deck outside of possibly DW190/1 and T199 to survive past january. Those three buses might be kept as spares for the 340 until it moves as well

[@BusesInLondon]

Gallifrey rises 7 all routes are moving to Palmars Green so I don't know what's gone happen. I think the old DWs will go with the VLAs following in Jan. I agree those vehicles should remain as spares as the DWs from the 38 and the 640 (now allocated to the 258) were built in the same year

[@rafidavis4326]

BusesInLondon I know but I don't think those 3 will make it to AD. They're not in great shape and I don't think Arriva will consider it worth refurbishing them for 9-10 year old buses. Once the routes move there, I'm sure they'll have other spares to accommodate appropriately

[@BusesInLondon]

Gallifrey rises 7 I think they'll be reblinded but I'm not sure what buses AD actually have (Gemini 2 hybrids). I think the 340 will take the two dws and the SW demo

[@rafidavis4326]

BusesInLondon the SW demo is already allocated to the 340. I don't know when you last rode DW190/91 but they'll need a refurb. I don't think they'll bother. AD is fairly large, they'll have some spares somewhere if they ever need an extra spare (PVR of 9, 10 SWs) so if they really need another spare, I'm sure they'll have

[@BusesInLondon]

Newer DWs could move to other garage and T199 could move to DT

[@samrogers7896]

The visual was very good! Seemed like a long route though!

[@BusesInLondon]

Sam Rogers thanks

[@AdityaJaokar]

It takes about 1hr from South Harrow to Watford junction

[@mastchekm1923]

I live on the 142 and 258 routes and I'm very glad to see Arriva go. The buses they use are terrible, especially the gemini 1 Volvos on the 258 that are loud and not very nice to be on. (I believe they were transferred from Wood Green Arriva when Garston bus garage announced its closure.) The services are often unreliable and inconsistent which I'm hoping London Sovereign can sort out. I'm planning to go on one of the new enviros today. All we need now is for them to take over the 142 in January. I'm hoping London Sovereign can make these routes more reliable and enjoyable.

[@BusesInLondon]

Yeah I agree with everything you say as I use this route regularly too! I have done a video on the First day and it was awesome, no curtailments no delays...all was running well!!!!

[@CBam3003]

BusesInLondon I'm on a 258 right now and you could call it beginners luck but it's running well

[@BusesInLondon]

Yeah it did run well

[@londonbusexplorer]

This was filmed on T199 wasn't it?

[@BusesInLondon]

londonbusexplorer yes....it's also mentioned in the description and people guessed in the comments from the video yesterday
