New contract means a new batch of electrics for this short, yet fairly popular route to the halfway point of Zones 1 and 2. | Tower Transit London Optare Metrodecker Electric on the C3 to Earl’s Court Tesco
The C3 transferred to Tower Transit and their Westbourne Park (X) base back in October but they started out with Volvo B9TLs. Now the bulk of their new electrics have been delivered for this route, I had a chance to ride them today and I have to say, it's a nice, refined journey even if the phone charging plugs look weird with their seating.
These Optare units sprint very nicely along Wandsworth Bridge and will be joining the 23 at a later time, thus continuing West London's push into electrification.
No idea how Tower Transit are performing so far on this route but they're losing a lot of route across both their garages. I know they've won the 414 for next year but that will only be five routes in their western base.
YJ70EVK (OE34007) is at Clapham Junction Station ready for an afternoon run to Earl's Court Tesco via Wandsworth Bridge and Chelsea Harbour.
