Lets count to 100: Post 91 The Streetlite Finally! By George

After an Unsucessful attempt at trying to catch a glimpse of the Wright Streetlite Metroline currently have we recived word that it had been moved to Metroline's Potters Bar Garage so we notifid them and went up to see the bus.

Before I start I would like to thank the staff at PB letting me onto the premises with such short notice.

This Bus is installed with a Wayfarer machine, Buses Roundel,
High Back Lazzerini seats,Irish Registration bus includes no Blinds

Intially reports suggested that the bus was going to be put on Route: 316 which runs between Cricklwood Bus Garage and White City but as this moved to PB they soon changed to it being trialed out on route 234 which runs between Barnet The Spires and Highgate Woods, But after some ponder Metroline have concluded that the streetlite is too wide for the tight turns the 234 endures every day.

So the future decisions of the streetlite is still to be confirmed, In  My opinion I dont think that Metroline will order the bus but what can I say that could all change.

Other Shots From the Day:

 Seen below is TPL296 LR02 BDU  which was involved in a fire on route 82 on the 15th of October 2011, the bus engulfed in flames destroying the engine and the rear of the bus.

It was written off for scrap but it is used for spare parts at the moment as some parts are salvageable for use on the current TPLs.
