this month’s featured strange visitor is a dlf on the usually slf 232. 232 has always been single deck, but previously was double deck as the northern half of the 112 when the north circular service was one long dd route. previous to that, back in the 70s, it ran as 2 routes again, but as 112 and 212. dlfs on 232 seem to be fairly common visitors at the moment, though the loadings would suggest it wouldn’t be a bad permanent idea… apparently due to shortages of single deckers at uxbridge garage, june 2003 saw the first reported sightings of dds on the usually slf’ed a10 between uxbridge and heathrow. curiously the slip of paper in the windscreen says ‘reserved for a10 use only’, though i have no idea why this might be…. was there a problem with the vehicle which was preventing it’s use on the usual 607 for some reason? the last few months has seen the continuing trend of giving two different route numbers to sections of lengthy routes that in some cases already operate as two separate services, albeit with the same number. here are 3 examples from feb – may 2003… 2/432, 63/363, and 253/254. 260/460 is next, to be followed by the likes of 149/349, u1/u5 and 207/??? in due course… although first in cornwall has by far the largest fleet of bristol vr type dds still in service, there are a few others still operating… southern vectis’ open toppers are converted vrs, whilst closed top versions still perform school and ordinary duties with southern national plus regular duties on the usually sd/slf 101-104 routes between bournemouth and poole for wilts & dorset… southern vectis have made a start on transforming their island explorer round the island 7 routes to dlf low floors, however the led light displays do not always lend themselves to easy photography, as this example with an apparently blank display shows. southern vectis always specifies semi-coach seats and luxury interiors on all its dd orders, and these dlfs are no exception. the location is newport bus station. check the newly updated southern vectis section! first in cornwall could well take a leaf out of yellow buses book, brand new low floor double deckers, and just for the open top tourist service! surely the first wheelchair accessible tourist summer service, sandbanks – christchurch quay 12, complete with bournemouth’s golden liveried vehicle in operation during a week in which all services were withdrawn due to strike action, seemingly becoming a more frequent occurance recently. looks like the last london operators titan dd will perform on thursday 19th june 2003, vehicle availability permitting, and on the 40. large orders for both metrobuses and titans were placed in the early 80’s as the london dms replacement programme got underway, and at one time there were over 1100 titans in london, but the titan v metrobus war was never going to be won by the former… more than 1400 metrobuses were ordered and ran in london, and various companies both in and out of london still use them in regular service, albeit mostly for spare cover and they feature heavily in the north london transport society. ..though to be fair to first in cornwall, they have got some new vehicles (new to them, that is, not new new!) that are less than 12 years old.. and have low floors.. they haven’t bothered to repaint them, or get some new blinds sets made, but you can’t have everything! here is one they seem to have been handed down from first in london, on the shortened 2 in the new look pe
