Ride on Arriva VLA16 LJ03MXK route 123 3rd March 2017

[@diamondmanuk1356]

Why did almost all VLA types (ALX400) have loud cooling fans activated on route 123?

[@BristolRE]

No idea, loud cooling fans was usually associated with a fault and/or bad design on Volvo buses

when i was a driver in 1970 123 was palmers grn and ran turnpike lane tube to enfield town.

Why did AR bus garage get rid of their VLAs from 76-98 in late 2015 and got the older VLAs from Norwood?

[@BristolRE]

Sorry, no idea, perhaps the newer ones could be refurbished and sent to other Arriva depots outside of London, and the older ones would be used until withdrawal and scrap? I'm only speculating.

@@BristolRE No problem, How do you feel about 307 going back to E and receiving the allocation of Enviro400s Hybrids?
