Metroline's World - VP's and VPL's

VPL175 heads towards Golders Green on route 260.
Yes, it's a VPL on 260, reason why, it's all below.

As of recently, there are roadworks happening in Wealdstone meaning that the local buses that run in the area:

140 (Heathrow Central - Harrow Weald, Bus Garage)
182 (Brent Cross - Harrow Weald, Oxhey Lane)
186 (Northwick Park Hospital - Brent Cross) although several journeys may run as far as Edgware

Route 182 on your left.


These routes are to have a PVR rise for a while so buses from Willesden (AC) have transferred to Harrow Weald (HD) (140/182) and spares at Edgware (EW) are being used for 186 during this PVR rise. The buses transferred to HD are used from route 260 so VPL's that are being displaced from 52, whilst the route gets its VW/VWH's, are more common to be seen on 260 now. 

VW1396 on 52. These new buses will displace VPL's on to 260 meanwhile.



Also, VPL222 from Holloway (HT) garage has transferred to help out with the cold snaps 
at HD and also VP346 that was involved in a car incident on the H12 last month, but will join VPL207 during these diversions.


Have Transferred to HD:

- VP474
- VP476
- VP477
- VP480 + - VPL222
- VP481
- VP484
VPL222 on transfer at Heathrow, stand 19. This 140 is ready to start the journey back to Harrow Weald.

Thanks for reading this post, hope you've enjoyed it and remember to stay safe!
