Possibly - I understand that Arriva were not able to provide an electric bid last time - which is why they lost it. I do not know if they are now in a position to do so.

@@Graham_Ross ohh so if they have the capability to provide electric buses this time they'll gain the route back? because they have a lot of bus garages in Wood Green for Arriva and I'm aware that the 184s address on the bus says Merton High Strt I'm not sure what that means but it suggests it's not close by. So in conclusion I think Arriva have a great advantage only if they can provide...possibly EMNs??

2:50 that person probably wanted to get on haha This video has solved one of the biggest question I had. I managed to get on a double decker 184 few years ago but it took a diversion at Bounds Green so I've always been really curious how the double decker version fits through the small narrow roads after the Alexandra Palace stop, glad to see this video! 😂
@Graham_Ross3 жыл бұрын
Thank you Mahammad. If a double-decker has to be put on the route, it cannot run in service along the hail and ride section of Palace Gates Road/Alexandra Park Road due to complaints from residents.

Hey, I think it can fit because i go to Alexandra palace every now and then in the park,but what I’ve been thinking is that the W3 is a double decker and it goes through palace gates road. Although 184 dosen’t go the way W3 does, I think that I am right. The exact same double decker bus is used for the 184 when recorded the video as the W3. But I think I am wrong after watching more of the video. Because it does seem small but I once rememmber going in a double decker bus that went through about 4 hail and ride stops with small narrow roads. It was probably because; hail and ride stops get a disadvantage. They are on narrow roads(normally.) normal bus stops are quite busy. I take W5 which is hail and ride but not double decker,but it just zooms past the stops and usually dosen’t even stop at first few stops. That’s the disadvantage to hail and ride routes,they are on narrow roads.while normal stops usually aren’t. For example; Brent Cross Shopping Centre,Finsbury Park,Muswell Hill,Barnet,Southgate and more. Those stops are usually busy while like W5’s bus stops; hail and ride Finsbury Park, they aren’t really busy,I’m the only person to stop the bus at the 2nd stop after the Sainsbury’s. I know you might’ve already got an answer to your question,but I just replied to it again, and hopefully made it hopeful. Thanks for reading 😊 (some phrases in the writing above may be rude,but I didn’t mean it in a rude way 😊)

I moved from London a long time ago but I still have a great respect for bus drivers. What a job in heavy traffic and narrow roads, these buses look wider than the old Routmaster. Although cyclists need cycle lanes, to tag them onto existing roads is a nightmare scenario. London had the worlds first dedicated cycle lanes in 1934 on Western Avenue, and then on other arterial roads. War put an end to that. Pavement width should have been reduced where possible but narrowing the width of roads and increased traffic flow do not go well together.

Also, make it low floor up and down and also extend the middle body part of these vehicles a little bit more so there will be more space for the wheelchair users.

Another great ride with the added bonus of two lots of light running. You must have a fair amount of influence to be able to ride on a bus that is light running. Long may this influence last as it might mean we get more light running's in the future. By the way I know you travel around different areas of London but are there areas you can not or will not go. The reason I'm asking is I keep hoping that one day you travel on a route that starts or goes through the place I was born and lived for the first 20 years of my life before moving to Australia. I'm talking about Watford
