The Big Crash WHY4, LT62 & 9401.

On Sunday the 22nd of September around one o'clock, 3 buses and 3 cars were involved in a serious crash which left Chelsea Bridge Road closed for nearly 8 hours; fortunately nobody was killed with only 3 taken to hospital. The buses involved were Abellio London's first Enviro 400 - 9401 working route 452, Go-Ahead London's WHY4 working route 360 and finally Go-Ahead London's Borismaster/NB4L - LT62.  LT62 was actually working away from the normal route altough it was in service. 

The 58 year old driver was among the three seriously injured with 12 others treated for minor injuries. 10 ambulances attended this horrfic scene, while the London Fire Brigade had to cut at least one person from the wreckage.


As of now LT62 has been kept in police evidence along with WHY4 but for 9401 it has been towed to the Hants & Dorset Bus & Coach Refurbishment Centre.

Route 11 - NB4L Route Learning

As all Londoners know ... Route 11 is to be converted to NB4L operation from 21st September 2013. For some people, they will too agree this is another horrid date to note down. Currently, 18 days before the conversion begins; the drivers are still testing the LT's out and familiarizing the route before the big, horrible day comes. ;(

The only things people are looking out for LT41 - LT60 is that will they actually have air cooling fans that actually work like those on the prototypes LT1 - LT8. Will the PA's be nicer than those with Arriva and Metroline? Same Thing ...
