(02 Sep 2015, 8:20 pm)Dan [*]Service 14 (PVR 34), which is currently allocated Volvo B7TL/Wright Eclipse Gemini vehicles, is due to be upgraded to new Volvo B5LH/Wright Eclipse Gemini 3 vehicles this month. 15 of these vehicles are expected to be allocated to London General (Metrobus) for use on service 202. This will release 15 MAN 14.240/MCV Evolution vehicles (709 - 723). Four of these are to be used on service 246 (previously operated by Stagecoach).
Go-Ahead London General (Metrobus) has now released 709 (AE09 DHG), which is currently at Hants & Dorset Trim.

When I went to London last week, I was onboard the 202, these buses have the alternative type of Streetdeck bodywork to 9119. The chassis were B5LHs, and they are just like sitting in an Angel B5LH, just with a better body, I also tried out Go North East's Streetdeck type on the 122, the B5LHs, unusually are better, pointing out the issues with Streetdecks

I had a ride on a brand new Euro 6 London United B5LH back last year on the 285 and I find them a lot different to the Euro 5 B5LHs.
The Bodywork of course
The D5K? is a lot quieter than the Euro 5s, and have this slight ticking noise when accelerating.
The ride is a lot smoother than Euro 5s
Though the Streetdeck your talking about is a long term Demonstrator for Go Ahead ( 9119s London sister ) and one of the first built ( Only the Brighton Batch beat it )
and so comes with the Demonstrator niggles.

Most London drivers are really impatient and I understand why they are because they spend most of their time at a standstill especially on Central London Routes.
I was in London on Thursday and could tell the drivers frustration with being at a standstill or crawling for most of the route ( Route 63 Honor-Oak-Kings Cross ) On the limited space he had to accelerate -
He put his foot to the floor.
Anyways did you make TFL or Go Ahead London General aware of this? If this is the route 19 I'm thinking of its operated by London General?

I used the 63 daily when I was there because I stayed on Kings Cross Road in the Holiday Inn next to Mount Pleasant. They are normally OK but I had an idiot driving a President that I had on Monday taking me to Kings Cross to come home. Never has a President gone as fast.
My dad complained to TFL, you are thinking of the correct 19.
