*New Operator* Abellio London Route 322 Journey | Alexander Dennis Enviro 200 - 8204 (YY64GVU)

After 7 years of being with London General, route 322 has once again passed back to Abellio (it passed back to them previously in 2010, after being won from London General). However, this time the 322 is being operated out of Battersea (QB) as oppose to Beddington Cross (BC), despite its allocation (minus 8127 and 8142) coming from BC.
This morning I originally recorded 3 separate journeys on 3 different buses: 8204, 8206, and 8127. I decided to choose this one to upload, as it was the best run out of the three. This driver was quite fast and high revs were showcased throughout the video. 8206 and 8127's journeys will be uploaded in the future.
I hope you are all safe and well. Please remember to keep a safe distance, wear a face mask at all times, unless you are exempt, and apply hand sanitiser.

Are you new to this channel? If so, hey, I'm GreaterLondonBuses! Here you will find many transport videos on buses, including visuals, journeys, observations, and occasionally Ibus announcements and blind changes. I rarely do train videos, but I'll do them when I can. I often film multiple videos during the day, but only go out to film at least twice a week, so I upload quite frequently, so feel free to subscribe and give my videos a like if you're interested! Looking at the statistics, about 73% of my viewers aren't subscribed to my channel, lets make that percentage smaller!

-VOTY February results when- Great Journey!

[@ameerali.ouarda]

I went on it today and I have some thoughts: -Clearly the Optare EV Electric buses aren’t ready. -The drivers definitely need to get used to the route, they seemed to struggle on the hail and ride and in my case the driver asked a passenger for directions which is no big deal as it’s new to many drivers, but buses were late and journey times considerably longer. I saw two 322’s running at the same time. -The seats are more comfortable but the legroom on most seats are horrendous. Best seats are towards the back of the bus and on the right hand side. -I went on a 64 plate. -Buses overall are better than Go-Ahead.

I also went on it today and the driver was very friendly. In the hail and ride part he just asked a passenger where they wanted to get off as he doesn't know when the bell is pressed if it's to stop immediately or kinda wait for the passenger to indicate roughly where they want to get off. Overall it was a good experience

Most single door buses in London have terrible legroom tbf

[@ameerali.ouarda]

@@tasfixe6031 The drivers are really kind!

[@unknownywuux_bus]

[@andreaholness]

322 bus route used to be on Go-Ahead London but now it's abellio London

[@envirotrident_yt]

this driver was good lol me and SLB got this earlier

[@shacarioking5149]

These use to run the 322 back in 2014

[@ameerali.ouarda]

I will never forget that shit time. Awful box buses back then.

[@shacarioking5149]

@@ameerali.ouarda remember the 322 with abellio on darts along with the P13

[@ameerali.ouarda]

@@shacarioking5149 I will NEVER forget that awful time 😂🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭 those darts my goodness smashing all over the place. Even the Go-Ahead Enviros are quite jerky. The new Abellio 64 plate is also a bit jerky but you don’t feel it as much probably because of the more comfortable seating.

[@shacarioking5149]

The 322s old fleet will still run the 170 and the G1

[@ameerali.ouarda]

@@shacarioking5149 A bit small for 170? But they can have em I used to use 170 going to school and I remember when they got new Wright StreetLite buses that weren’t compatible or something and so they went away to another GAL route 😂

[@thirdcore.]
