North Acton Station
Another objective today was to ride the Acton-North Acton section of the 218. Westbourne Park depot (now under the auspices of RATP) kindly put my last two E200’s fairly close to each other so I ticked off the route and its buses, not including the nasty Streetlites which roam it.
YX11AEY was new to First as DML44182, but was then absorbed into the Metroline fleet as DE1900.
Sent off lease, it was quickly re homed at Tower Transit. numbered tantalisingly close to its original identity as DML44183. However since the recent RATP assumption of Westbourne Park Garage it’s now numbered DE20153.
This leaves my last of batch as YX11CNN, which has given me a bit of a headache as it’s owned by EYMS and lives at Scarborough….
Costa Coffee is thoughtfully located right opposite this bus stand at North Acton Station, and indeed the driver of my inward bus followed me straight in there to make full use of his fairly generous stand time. 19.4.22.
