Arriva London route 377: Ponders End, Bus Garage - Oakwood Station
Hail & Ride Section, Lower Kenwood Avenue, Oakwood.
Arriva London retained route 377 with new ADL E200 MMCs from Enfield (E) on 9 July 2016. The buses, EN34-38, entered service on the suburban North London route as early as 29 June.
Alexander Dennis' efforts into their MMC project have been showcased in the design of their buses and the new E200 MMCs continue to impress with the ENs. The bus type, in general, is my favourite when in Arriva's new silky blue and white colours.
But what impressed me the most about the 377 was the service. The drive in general was good, but seeing the driver chatting to passengers and shouting friendly remarks to residents as he drove by, the passengers showing their gratitude for his service, cars giving the bus the right-of-way out of polite choice and other vehicle users acknowledging the driver was an incredible experience of the diversity and mutual respect aboard route 377 - everything you could possibly want as a bus driver.
Some amazing stories were shared from behind-the-wheel of the 377, too. So a massive big-up and thanks to Sai - blessed driver! What a pleasure.
