There is not much to say about this route but it's one of the overcrowded routes making it way to Hither Green via Deptford Green School using a 10.2m vehicle.
It runs via Canada Water, Surrey Quays, New Cross, Deptford, Lewisham and Hither Green. The route consistently suffers from a long wait with the bus being ridiculously crowded, which means NX (New Cross) having to pull out longer SD's on the route to deal with the problem.

Personally from my own point of view, I feel the route will be better ran under both Go Ahead London (London Central) and Stagecoach by using either Streetlites Max or Mercedes Benz Citaro's.

Remember to stay safe.
The 225 got a new contract last year (2013). I personally think it should have got 12 metre long Mercedes Citaros.
ReplyDeleteHi Anon,
ReplyDeleteYes I'm aware 225 got it's contract renewal in 2013 (year just past) and I strongly agree it needs Citaro's 12m.
I wish you a happy and prosperous new year.
