FRV + Diversion. Go Ahead London Route 171. Elephant & Castle - Catford Bus Garage. EH168 (YX67 VFN)

Today’s video is an FRV on the 171 from Elephant & Castle to Bellingham, Catford Bus Garage. I decided to do the route because it looked interesting but I was wrong. The route was boring and the sun kept facing me which made it worse. Furthermore, my phone overheated right as we the diversion was starting which was annoying, sorry about that cut lol. The visual was filmed in November so it’s a skill issue my phone overheated lol, but my second phone saved it. The diversion was interesting but also annoying as we were stopping at quite a lot of stops lol. Anyways I’d rate the route a 5/10 and I’d recommend during off peak hours.

Nice visual Ray! I miss the old 171 when it went to Holborn. It was much better back then even if it was a bit long. If it was cut back to maybe waterloo, that would have been acceptable. Loads of routes like 45, 67 and 242 were just ruined by cuts

[@OSCandLondonBuses]

Yeah thanks to 242 it ruined the 67 and 171 and also the 45

Fr now it's just a worse 136 :-(

I never knew the 171 was that long... if it stayed at holborn it would be as long as the 468

[@DaGoofyPresident]

468 is would have been longer (12.1+ miles)
