The Anonymous Widower

Another London Bus Route Goes Non-Bendy

This picture shows one of the new buses on route 25 at Stratford.

A Proper Bus on Route 25

It replaced one of the dreaded Spanish-built bendies.

Note that the bus is a Wright Eclipse Gemini 2, built in  Northern Ireland. Wrightbus is incidentally a family owned company. So hopefully not for them the problems of external shareholders, who want to paddle someone else’s canoe. The company is very much involved in developing the New Bus for London. We may worry about the demise of trainmaking, but do we have in Wrightbus a company that is going places in that much neglected and very unsexy part of transport; buses?
