*UNREFURBED POLE* PT 1: Full Journey on Route 218 | Enviro 200 | SN10CAX/RTP DE20094 | 20th Apr 2024

New series is here after the longest one I have done! This one is a bit disappointing for a few reasons, at least the route is nice though. Firstly, this route was a disappointment because the driver was really slow, which was really annoying as this is my SECOND attempt at trying to do the route with a decent driver, but BOTH the times they were slow, which was really a shame, but didn’t want to try a third time because I have other routes that I still need to do which are more important than this route. Another reason it was disappointing was because this bus has a lot of potential to go fast, and it couldn’t. On the other hand, the bus was interesting as I mentioned on the title, there is an unrefurbished orange pole standing next to all the other blue ones, which was interesting to see, which you usually don’t see on 2010 RATP Enviro 200 buses nowadays, but maybe like 10 years ago or something. The route is somewhat nice, as it starts in Hammersmith Bus Station (which isn’t the nice part), then it moves onto the busy roads until we reach West Acton, which then starts moving through a mix of neighbourhood roads and mildly busy Acton Streets. The bus then finally terminates at its last stop, near North Acton station, but I think while recording this, it was on diversion/or slightly cut off at the end not actually terminating at North Acton station. The route doesn’t take too long depending on the traffic, but I’d say around 30-40 mins with normal traffic.
Anyways, enjoy and don’t forget to like and subscribe for more vids!
