The FIRST *NEW* BYD BD11s In The UK! Route 320's New Allocation EXPLAINED | TfL London Bus Changes

[@TESL1.10]

0:17 bro you found the best places to film!! this is why you're the goat man

[@MostlyBuses1]

Thanks so much man, this was just a lucky coincidence as the Biggin Hill Airport curtailment just so happens to drop you off at that spot. The 320 is the best route for these EBDs to first appear on. It's very fast for people who like to record journeys and it's also very quiet at the Biggin Hill end which is good for interior shots while the bus is moving. So yeah it was lucky that I had nothing planned for that day

I acc like the BD11s ngl, the back just look odd tho but other than that it’s growing on me. I look forward to having them on the 333 which is my local and it’s certainly a route I’ll be using more again as I use to under Arriva once the EBDs arrive in the next few months at Stockwell.

[@MostlyBuses1]

They've grown on me too. The final design is much better than the prototype although I still prefer other types of electrics

[@zfs.59]

Yeah the Electroliner is my favourite electric so far tbh, they’re good to see on the 50 and 133 which have effectively been Wright routes for most of their vehicle allocations (ie the 133 was an ADL route before 2017 tho and was still partially an ADL route until this year).

They can't order more Ees as they've stopped producing them. GAL do have a huge deal with Wright for a load of electrics (which I have a video on) so it's likely that they will get Electroliners.

Great video bro! Do you think these will be on 208?

[@MostlyBuses1]

Thanks! I don't think they will unless one strays onto it. The 208 is allocated the MMCs so I think GAL will retain it with them for 3 or 5 years, and even if they do put electrics on it they'll probably order Electroliners since they have that huge deal with Wright

[@zfs.59]

Nah the 208 hasn’t had a single electric stray on the route from the 353’s Ee batch so I doubt it.

@@zfs.59 Same, MB are strict with their electrics which is weird when they constantly put DDs on the 126 and put every type of SE they have onto their other routes. Even the 358 has seen a single door E200 although it was subbed off quickly

bro electrics are killing the history of london's buses, like the last hybrids we got are the 405s SK70s n last diesels we got are bow's SK20s. Like now im pretty sure london aren't allowed to order diesels or hybrids

[@MostlyBuses1]

Yeah they stopped being allowed to order diesels or hybrids in 2021. Sadly the MMCs on the 425 and 405 are already being replaced although the 25 will keep them until 2030. I don't mind that much though, things change and we just need to appreciate the buses we have now before they get replaced by electrics

They are not killing history, they still got character to them. They are just as nice as diesel and hybrids. Plus they are quicker than diesels or hybrids too. They are in no way killing thr history.
