Todays video is an FRV on the Route 254 from Holloway, Nags Head to Aldgate. Due to a slight shortage of LTs at Ash Grove, HA17&18 have been kept as a spare and have been in use on the 254. These two will continue to appear on the Route until Ash Grove closes on the 24th February, so after that they’ll move to DX for the SL2 (I’m guessing). The driver confirmed with me that they’re going for the Superloop but I’m not sure if it’s more for SL1 or for the SL2. Anyways, I filmed the route now since I didn’t want an LT on the Route. The route was actually a very nice one, especially with the sun and decent sunset. It had a nice vibe to it and I think it looked cool. Without the Hackney traffic, the route isn’t that long so I’ll definitely recommend it. The first driver was very kind and let me on at the stands which was a W. Anyways I’d rate the Route a 7/10.
