FRV. Stagecoach London Route 205. Bow Church - Paddington. Enviro400 MMC SH 11377 (SK20 BBF) - SOL2

Todays video is an FRV on the route 205 from Bow Church to Paddington. Seeing as SOL2 was on, I decided to go redo the route since my previous one was kinda mid lol. I thought the bus had subbed at Bow Church since it didn’t go to the usual stands and instead went into the garage, but thankfully it respawned lol. I was planning to redo the route and SOL2 was nearby so I decided to get it over and done with. Imo the visual turned out great! The sun was amazing and thankfully my phone didn’t overheat lol. The diversion made the route more longer than it usually is coz of all the traffic, it was getting annoying and the sun was also facing me so there was a risk of it overheating. Anyways, the route is long but very useful and nice imo. It does tend to get very packed and you would usually see them bunched together when they’re going to bow church lol. I do recommend doing this route and I’d rate it an 8.5/10.

Great 205 E400 MMC SLN Visual RAY!This is a very popular & a touristy bus one of the most successful buses in London in my opinion likewise bus 18 but also whats the meaning of (Spirit in London)?

[@MrBoombastic1]

its a remembrance for the bus that was bombed in the 7/7 attacks in 2005 (the original e400 trident that carried the SOL branding was scrapped a few years ago)
