Pictured here is Go-Ahead London WVN45 on route 217, about to begin it’s journey towards Waltham Cross on the first day of operation with Go-Ahead London two weeks ago, which by sheer coincidence happened to be on the same day of my 24th birthday! I decided not to ride the route though due to my bias against TfL vehicles not introduced from their original operator, as the ex-First B9TLs were the only fleet appearing on the 217’s first day of GAL.

This route has been moving around a lot recently as it operated with Metroline until 2017, which then saw 217 passing to Sullivan Buses that run till August, when the entire company abolished itself from all TfL services, leading to the route getting temporarily awarded to Arriva on an emergency contract before shifting over once again to Go-Ahead, albeit only on a one year contract.

This makes 217 one of the TfL routes with the largest amount of bus companies in a short space of time with four in total, though I do believe route E10 currently holds this record with five operators running the route within less than ten years and I’m definitely sure the chances of it happening to another route at present are slim to none, due to former operators in London such as Tower Transit and Quality Line being sold.

I sanded and painted the rod, attached arms, and spring while it was apart. The little set screw holds the spring in; remove it and slide the spring sideways to release tension on it. Do this with the window closed, and be careful around the glass.
