Van Hool saw limited success in the North American transit bus market with its A330 range. Most unusual of this line-up is the mid-sized A330K, as seen here. It very oddly has the engine mounted at floor level amidships on the offside, hence the missing window in the middle. The Washington DC Circulator network uses some of this model although larger Van Hools that were previously in use have gone. This bus is seen at Foggy Bottom bound for Georgetown. Operation of the Circulator network is contracted out to RATP Dev.
5021 YBZ838 (ex-abellio London 9056 BX55XNK) seen at Somerford Sainsbury's working on route 1a towards Bournemouth.
A few open tops were used on route 1a, but this was an interesting one to snap. The Vikings are hell to snap as 95% of the time, no displays. This was ex-Abellio which lasted until route 172's loss to Go Ahead London. It was refurbished but nowadays only evident by the yellow poles.

2025 (former 523) YX12AEP seen leaving Somerford Sainsbury's working on route 1a towards Bournemouth.
Yellow Buses have a few 12 plated ex-Tower Transit E200s, some being ex-Westbourne Park and Lea Interchange. YX12AEP is former DMV44228 from Lea Interchange, and now is fleet number 2025 with Yellow Buses, also formerly numbered 523.
LY71GHZ is seen approaching Aldwych stand as it operates on the 23 for the first time at RATP. This bus previously operated for GoAhead London before moving to other operators across the country for demonstration.
DLE30311 YX68URR seen at Harlesden, Acton Lane working on route 224 towards Alperton, Sainbury's
Thought I'll comeback to this location, though already mentioned, this is photographed at the site once was a storage yard for London United's decommissioned VAs and DPs. This one did interest me to photograph as it displayed plain "Alperton".
The route was altered almost 10 years ago when Willesden Junction was its previous eastern terminus of then it was rerouted to former route 206 terminus at St. Raphael's Estate in Neasden. This however did became one of those indirect routes from Neasden to Wembley, going via areas such as Harlesden and Stonebridge Park.
The route was again altered in December 2019, this time being cut from Alperton Sainsbury's and Wembley Stadium, though without any replacement.

Former London United Tempo OT7 (YJ11 EHO) is one of four of the type operated by this University located in Haspolat in the Turkish Republic of North Cyprus. All came via Central Connect Buses of Stanstead and the former OT7 is seen with a healthy load leaving the campus at the end of the academic day.

DE20049 YX09HKV seen at Holland Park Roundabout on route 228 towards Park Royal, Central Middlesex Hospital.
Metroline gains the 228 back from RATP who had operated the route since the acquisition of Tower Transit's Westbourne Park in late 2021. Its Streetlites had been moved to the 218 upon the transfer of the route to Park Royal next year.
Whilst it will be using existing E200 MMCs whilst pending delivery of Volvo BZL electrics, the route itself faces a harsh frequency reduction to every 30 minutes.
11 March 2017 saw London United DPS706 working route C1 to White City approaching Victoria Coach Station. The Alexander Dennis Dart SLF with Pointer body had been new to NCP in 2005, passing later to London United. I think that newer Enviro 200 buses should have been working the route at this time, so a Pointer-bodied Dart was not the norm.
