Lets count to 100: Post 96 - First Day of First London Operating Route: 206 - By Lawrence

Following our post yesterday, Metroline were unfortunate enough to lose route 206, and instead was handed over to First London. Today, Saturday 28th April, saw the change of operator with Brand New Alexander Dennis E20D's operating the route.

First London's new DMV in service on route 206

These new buses are operated from Willesden Junction garage which also run routes 18, 187, 226 and 228. Although the buses may be similar, they have a major difference. They are a little bit longer - the older vehicles - the DML's are 10.2m whilst these are 10.8 and re-named DMV's and accommodate an extra row of seats.

I'd love to see these buses on route 226, however, I think it'll only be used in the rarest of circumstances. In conclusion, these buses are a great addition to the fleet, and is operated to the highest of Standards.
