East London route 145: Dagenham, ASDA - Leytonstone Station
Approaching Wanstead Station / George Green (C)
Route 145 was retained by Stagecoach London from Barking (BK) with existing E400s and new E40D MMCs.
The new buses are an excellent new addition - smooth and fairly quiet, although the air-conditioning is louder than the engine to fully determine how quiet the bus actually is on the move. Comfort is of high quality and the 145 has some motorway sections to enjoy a fast ride aboard the diesel MMCs.

East London route 498: Romford, Queen's Hospital - Brentwood, Sainsbury's
Romford Station (Z)
Stagecoach London won route 498 from Romford (NS) on 27 June 2015. Covering for the late delivery of 10301-10307 stood some original Enviro400s until the MMCs entered service from 9 July 2015.
My journeys were brief aboard these buses, however I was still able to be impressed by them. They sound exactly like the original Enviro400 but they accelerate much faster and ride more smoothly. The MMCs also feel lighter, an improvement stated but never really apparent with the hybrid version which inaugurated the bus type in London. These are simply the best Enviro400 MMCs so far.

Approaching Wanstead Station / George Green (C)
Stagecoach take the lead with the MMCs. Absolutely fantastic vehicles and the first I got on this day with the air-conditioning needed for the hot weather. The driver was not that fast but route 101 has the potential to be a fast route. There are better options, though.
