*SOON TO GET ELECTRICS* Journey on route 83 (VW1243) (LK12AAF) | Metroline London

[@AB-ii5pi]

This route (along with the 297) was meant to receive electroliners over a year ago, PV still haven’t sorted out their electricification. The 83’s batch of vehicles is currently with the W7.

@@AB-ii5pi ahh okay so that’s why the W7 has them.. half the LED blinds are messed up

[@AB-ii5pi]

@@londonbuses4763 yeah I’ve noticed that with the BZL’s as well. These buses are brand new so they really shouldn’t be messing up this early. I get why Stagecoach are using paper blinds on the 86/199 ones

@@AB-ii5pito be honest I wish Tfl didnt implement the LED blinds on London buses, power blinds have never been a problem.. if it ain’t broke don’t fix it

[@AB-ii5pi]

@@londonbuses4763 I think tfl are using more LED’s now as using paper blinds is not exactly environmentally friendly.

[@londonbuses4763]

@@AB-ii5piah okay that’s understandable

[@LB141toPalmersGreen]

It’s been a year…. PV are SHAMBLES! I bet you, 243 gets its electrics first

[@londonbuses4763]

Well idk about that now since the 217 coming to AR has kinda slowed down the process
