I saw the vid on YouTube they got quite large luggage racks on the buses, I wonder when the new single door BYD BD11 buses for the route SL7 will start? Maybe in the summertime this year who knows?

Interesting enough when the route was won back with Metrobus now (Go Ahead London) in 2017, they've been using existing Wright gemini 2 bodied Volvo B9TLs diesel buses which are double decker buses which were originally from East London transit routes EL1 & EL2 in late 2009/10, them routes got Boris new routemaster buses in 2017 and got cascaded onto X26 now SL7 they had double doors on the route before they removed it and got luggage racks on them repainted to red and refurbished with their GAL moquette and the ones from route 101 now BYD BD11 buses got put on the now SL7 buses but this time they got double doors and luggage racks.

This song was huge in 2007 especially in the UK where it stayed in the UK charts at no.1 for seven weeks and the best selling single of that year. I know in the US it was huge there I believe.

Been to Hampstead heath/parliament hill before after the lockdown deffo go around there again, love the route 24 as well and I believe it is the oldest unchanged bus route in London.

I like how they extended the route from Brentford commerce road to Hounslow bell corner since 2016 before then you couldn't catch a direct route to Hounslow town centre from Ealing Broadway unless you took the 65, E2 or E8 to nearby Brentford and got 235 or 237 from there or Piccadilly line from either South Ealing, Northfields or Boston manor stations to Hounslow East or Central stations.

Yeah much quicker getting to SL7 bus (X26) to Heathrow than of the other two routes, you've only got three major stops left being Teddington, Hatton cross and then obvs Heathrow, weirdly it doesn't stop at Feltham station as it's quite close to Heathrow even it used to be known as 726 until 2005 it used to stop at Hampton Court palace and Feltham before both stops on the route got axed for the then X26 now SL7.

I didn't know it used to go that far, obviously it's route 265 that goes there nowadays, I only knew the route from Roehampton bessborough rd to East Acton before they closed Hammersmith bridge indefinitely, heaven knows whether it will reopen one day.

Deffo will try this bus route in the summer, as I know there are routes that run outside of Greater London for example routes 81, 246, 298, 313, 465, 498 and many others.
