Tower Transit BH63102 Blind Change - VanHool Hydrogen Bus

[@BusesInLondon]

*Note* the shortest ever destination front and side blinds and the most useless number blinds! Not the most fascinating blind change in the world but it had to be done.

[@TTony]

Basically a countdown

[@LondonTransport466]

Good Video. I wonder if the numbers 0-9 are for demonstrating purposes as these buses were demonstrators.

[@busestransporta-z781]

0 was a private route but withdrawn in 2014

[@lewisnagle5839]

Hadn't appreciated these were so short - I thought the shortest were the E10's E200s: route blind E10 only, dests Not in Service, Railway Replacement Service, Northolt Islip Manor, Ealing Broadway, Greenford Broadway, West Ealing Scotch Common.

[@BusesInLondon]

Me neither, I thought they were short when I checked what routes were on the Mobitec unit, I looked at the reflection from the bus infront and saw 6, 5, 4, etc. I didnt consider the E10, but I would have thought the RV1 would have more curtiailment points, eg London Bridge, Aldwych but it didnt. What do you think those numbers are for. I also filmed the 12m Red Arrow SEe blind change but it wasnt worth uploading due to the blind change being 10seconds lol

[@TheTransportHub17]

Great video, how come the 8,7,6,5,4,3,2 and 1 are on the blinds?

[@BusesInLondon]

Thanks and I have no idea because the Red Arrow SEes only have the 507 and 521 so its nothing to do with the minimum space requirements.

[@8834]

It was probably a layout

[@realfrowz]

It even has 0 lmao

[@eastlondonbusenthusiast]

Nice! Shame it don't have other LI routes on it, but then again it can only really work on the RV1

[@BusesInLondon]

Thanks, is it cos of being longer than the other buses?

[@eastlondonbusenthusiast]

BusesInLondon Yeah

[@spennyb8466]

They were transferred to the 444 after this route was withdrawn, and then these completely withdrawn when that route went to GAL so they did do another route

[@TBTSimPlayer]

So New Routemaster V5.0 can go on the first 10 routes, all double deckers!

[@BusesInLondon]

haha, but it could be banditised. Its funny that Tower Transit operate non of those routes

[@TBTSimPlayer]

Route 4 could be possible but only Waterloo on the blinds. Other curtailments would be banditised. Not sure why but the destination blinds should really include Aldwych and London Bridge.

[@BusesInLondon]

Exactly, thats what I would have thought but TFL specifies this.

[@samrogers7896]

Great blind change!

[@BusesInLondon]

THanks

[@insertnamehere0247]

I don't get the point of the 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9 >_

[@BusesInLondon]

I thought due to minimum space requirments but the Red Arrow SEes only have the 507 and 521 so its nothing to do with that

[@insertnamehere0247]

When i saw the thumbnail I was like nooo 7 is tower transit but now I'm starting to think it was because they has so much space they had no clue what to do with it.

[@BusesInLondon]

Probably but I dont think that was required?

[@BusesInLondon]

depends on what the WSHs have

[@insertnamehere0247]

neither did I they could've just left it or put the numbers for another tower transit route: Personally I still don't understand why RV1 is Tower Transit it should go to Waterloo.

[@lt_20181]

Route 0? Now That would be interesting to see

[@BusesInLondon]

yeah

[@mohibj]

Not in service

[@ho-kitlam8609]

Brilliant blind change, why are the number 0 to 9 on the blind and that must be the shortest blind set in the whole of London!

[@BusesInLondon]

Thanks and I have no idea because the Red Arrow SEes only have the 507 and 521 so its nothing to do with the space requirements.

[@luk3c1ary]

Ho-Kit Lam maybe to validate it.

[@BusesInLondon]

nope Luke

[@londonbusfanrex]

RIP RV1

[@MsEdy09]

Route 0 goes from new cross to inverness

[@bxcsf9408]

Lol

[@rolfharris635]

Noice video bro!

[@BusesInLondon]

Thanks

[@vanotuong8791]

What's the name of the background music ?

[@CookieCft]

Elektronomia - Fire

[@CB-by9nf]

Would be Cool if every single route and destination was on one blindset

[@BusesInLondon]

thats why LED displays exist

[@londonbuses1128]

It is rumoured that the new Slimline Solo SR's for Metroline will feature LED displays because Optare won't offer smart blinds anymore.

[@CB-by9nf]

London Buses If they are for the 631, H2 and H3? I thought they were recieving 9.0 M MMCs

[@londonbuses1128]

They are for those routes , no MMC's have been ordered.

[@CB-by9nf]

London Buses Ohh dont really like Optare except for their metrodecker

[@JAmoahGranite58]

I did not understand, 0 ain't nothin but london.. It starts from 1 to 999.

[@TransportNRTH73]

1-969, skipping alot of numbers along the way.

[@CB-by9nf]

0 would be Not in service

[@BusesInLondon]

[@customtransport2777]

[@BusesInLondon]
