It's been a while, hasn't it?

First Bus London London United RATP | VH45189 | Route E3

 

Location: Chiswick

Registration: LJ16EWM

Type: Volvo B5LH | Wright Eclipse Gemini 3

 

FirstGroup return to Transport for London service work after it withdrew back in June 2013...well, they're going to with a longstop date of 30 April 2025. Now, it's February 2025, and we have two buses with First logos, but we currently have no news of whether the deal has been completed.

 

The irony is - Route E3 was won by London United RATP from Metroline West, the successor of First Centrewest; now the route will be operated by FirstGroup again. TIme is indeed, a circle.
