On the 94 and E3 it will sound to warn drivers of the bridge at Turnham Green Station (this is signed at 14'6, so is fine for most double-deckers, but there are a few buses that are 14'8 tall). On Waterloo Bridge it sounds to warn drivers of the height limit in the Strand Underpass.<br /><br />There are a few oddities with this system, e.g. on Rosebery Avenue the alarm will sound because there is a low bridge under the street (on Warner Street) rather than overhead!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702975208925134726.post-84866314690062283882011-06-12T22:37:35.052+01:002011-06-12T22:37:35.052+01:00I can tell Metroline will order Volvo B9TL olympus...I can tell Metroline will order Volvo B9TL olympus for 52 if it is retained.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702975208925134726.post-82649305448992315952011-06-12T15:54:51.472+01:002011-06-12T15:54:51.472+01:00VW1175 and 1179 have been seen in Southall along t...VW1175 and 1179 have been seen in Southall along the 105 route in the last two days, and both were displaying "Special Service" and Metroline logo blinds.Hassaannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702975208925134726.post-41307052521097172092011-06-12T15:17:29.994+01:002011-06-12T15:17:29.994+01:00No like i hear this double alarm sound on all the ...No like i hear this double alarm sound on all the buses like not just for E3 and 94 else where like Waterloo bridge all the bus route which pass Waterloo bridge have that Alarm soundAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702975208925134726.post-68490450516122978662011-06-12T13:18:10.726+01:002011-06-12T13:18:10.726+01:00That's actually a fault with the E400 its some...That's actually a fault with the E400 its something to do with the electronics of the BusJayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07010709763661695170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702975208925134726.post-46941020417804586642011-06-12T12:02:18.003+01:002011-06-12T12:02:18.003+01:00can someone also tell me what are these beeps whic...can someone also tell me what are these beeps which sound on the E3 and 94 thanxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702975208925134726.post-55730853195497985212011-06-12T12:00:48.044+01:002011-06-12T12:00:48.044+01:00oh thanx for the details about the MMsoh thanx for the details about the MMsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702975208925134726.post-62911175463386602442011-06-12T11:07:37.077+01:002011-06-12T11:07:37.077+01:00The TEs of the 297 will more than likely transfer ...The TEs of the 297 will more than likely transfer to HT, not W,EW or PB.

It almost certainly has to be E400s if the route is run from G, as that's what's already there, as it would be unlikely for First to introduce a new chassis to G. This means it could also use DNs, as there are lots of them alerady there, or E400 Hybrids, because they have extremely quick acceleration, so they're good for a route that suffers a lot of traffic.
