Tower Transit route 444: Chingford Station - Turnpike Lane, Bus Station
Departed Chingford Station (B), towards Station Road / Chingford Station (E)
Tower Transit purchased WV46101-46111 for Lea Interchange (LI) route 444 when they won the route from Arriva London earlier this year.
These are interesting buses. They have a different engine sound to all other Wright StreetLites in London, Daimler the engine supplier for all StreetLites with Euro 6 spec. The buses drive like a Volvo B5LH with quicker gear changes.
While they might not be the most comfortable Wright StreetLites in London, they are definitely better in driveline which is devoid of the infamous flatulence within the suspension upon braking accustomed to previous StreetLites with Go-Ahead London.
The WVs are very good buses that suit their route excellently and out of Tower Transit's first three tender wins, I highly recommend the 444 over the 212 and 488.
