Routes 191 and 106 and some other trivia chat

Some chat about the new blind sets in the buses at Arriva's Enfield garage, and other bits and pieces.

[@johnhall4917]

We have this vehicle type at my depot on 59 and 61 plates. The 59 plates arrived at our depot November 2009 and currently have a whopping 750,000 miles on the clock.

[@BristolRE]

Wow!

[@gustavoperez5480]

Excelent explanation, very interesting. As introvert, social distance Is not a big issue for me. Excelent video Mr. Horrex. Stay safe.

[@BristolRE]

Thank You, you stay safe too.

[@GuyArab]

Another interesting piece and I do like to see a number of buses on the stand. Muswell Hill is always good for that.

[@BristolRE]

Thank You, 4 is about the limit here

[@richardcouthlan4464]

Nice to see DW532 back after its stint at Dartford (DT) after being a Refub float. That one I have seen at EC as well from when the 123 was there.

[@BristolRE]

A half decent bus to drive

[@ThrushCZX]

4! I don't think I've ever seen that many the whole time I was on it

[@BristolRE]

Loooooooool

[@WrightBuster]

Cool video peter it’s nice for a new change for the 191 with using existing DWs

[@BristolRE]

Thanks, and yes, shame it's not getting brand new buses though.

[@BristolRE]

@ldnz460 Yes

[@southlondoner7169]

ldnz460 I doubt that it would have got buses from the 141 as it goes into ULEZ

[@kellyogieriakhi6805]

Until June Some Enfield Garage move From 318 To 191

[@TheTransportHub17]

Great video Peter and looks nice and shiny now. Glad the 191 isn’t getting T buses although could easily stray on the route.

[@BristolRE]

Thanks, not sure if the T buses have the new blinds yet, I need to check!

[@TheTransportHub17]

BristolRE yeah try and get a T bus then maybe do a video it if it has new blinds.

Would you be able to film some full route videos by setting up a camera in the position of 'The Flat Cap Bus Drivers' new video as you cannot see any passengers boarding. I'd love to see that! Loving the videos, keep it up!

very nice video! i miss this bus and dw533 at dt, it was nice having some newer dw’s

Thanks, the 500 DWs are nice

[@mazzarouni5608]

Theres a lot going on in a bus drivers cab I’m sure I’d forget to open the doors every time the bus stops.

[@BristolRE]

That's the best way 😁

[@southlondoner7169]

Welp, 191 is starting its new life at Enfield tomorrow

[@BristolRE]

It came a few weeks late in the end, due to Covid. Sorry for the very late reply.

[@RS-pb2se]

When did you start talking in your videos? You sound like a very nice chap, and really informative aswell. 😊

[@BristolRE]

Thank You, I've been on here since around 2006, but I didn't get a decent video camera until 2011, so my best videos start from then.

How Was It Driving One Of 106 Buses On A Scale To 1 To 10

[@BristolRE]

DW532 gets an 8

[@Bobbyandmog]

@@BristolRE Why do you give it a 8 Tell Me

[@BristolRE]

@@Bobbyandmog Pleasant to drive, a lot of our existing DWs have issues, slow moving off, poor suspension etc etc. This one was fine.

Yes

[@ltv_2005]

Are the DWs cleared for Alexandra road because the Enviro 400s struggle to get down it How much space does Enfield have

[@BristolRE]

It'll be interesting as the steering lock / turning circle of a DW is poor compared to an Enviro 400

[@NextSound170]

They ran the 349 down it when the Hertford Road was closed due to the unused 6ft wide cycle path installation

[@ltv_2005]

@@NextSound170 still struggled

[@BristolRE]

@@NextSound170 That's true

[@southlondoner7169]

How comes they didn’t take 106 off the blinds? If 106 is on there, I’m guessing that 78 & 254 are on tees as well

[@southlondoner7169]

The 2012/2013 DWs look smarter than the 2009 - 2011 DWs and with their repaint, they look even more smarter

[@southlondoner7169]

Nice video! But if 191 is getting buses from both 106 and 230, what will it use in the first few weeks as 230 won’t transfer to GoAhead until two weeks later?

[@NextSound170]

When you say agree with Go Ahead, it seems they’re all in friendly tender competition with each other, but at Garage level, it’s as if he or she is better than

Finally some better buses than the existing beaten up enviro 400's on the 191 which gal do not care about or refurbish.

They've probably given up, Lol

[@itzdann4093]

@@will_n775 Yeah GAL do not care about any routes that are not popular. A streetlite on the W10 broke down today and GAL did not get a new bus in at all. Like they must have Streetlites left from route 192 which arriva took over but noooo they just cancel it.

Orpington have got several of those routes: 246, r5/r10, r8 they're neglected too

[@BristolRE]

@@TrainBoy-tf9gh Not sure about that, the new blind sets have 106 / 191 on for a reason, as they've been fitted to the DWs currently on the 106 so they can come straight to E when the changes take place.
