Goodbye,First London TNA

The First TNA batch came to run on Route 25 Oxford Circus- Ilford to replace the Existing TN and Volvo Olympians.They were formally classed as TALs and They soon became second favoured to First just behind the TN,TNL,VN,VNL class Plaxton Presidents.
 25  TAL 947(R) In Ilford 25.06.04 Credits to London Bus Page







328 TNA 33386 (AS) Route 328 Credits to George Reed
328 TNA 33364 (AS) Route 28 Credits to George Reed
The TNA's for route 10 and 414 were  withdrawn in 2009 and 2010 due to the 414 going to Abellio and the 10 going to London united.

The other TNA for 28,31,328 moved to Atlas road in 2011 due to X having to be made smaller for the Crossrail works. The ones for 23 and 295 stayed at X along with the two routes. The 28,31 and 328 no longer use TNA they use VNW,VNZ and WNH  but you still do see the odd TNA on them. The 23 will be getting Wright Gemini 2 to replace them but then they will go to AS for the 266 and then the 23 will use Enivro 400 Hybrids. The TNA will stay in London until after the 2012 games as they will be used for olympic contracts, then they will be refubished at the Rowan Telmac Trim before moving to Bristol to work for First Bristol.
