Arriva London route B13: New Eltham Station - Bexleyheath, Shopping Centre
New Eltham Station / Southwood Road (D)

Arriva introduced ENR1-7 to route B13 this week as part of its renewed contract at Dartford (DT). These are London's second batch of Enviro200 MMCs.

Stagecoach didn't really make as much of an impression with the E200 MMC as Arriva have. The silky cream and blue colour scheme provides what a passenger described to the driver as a 'premium' service and the driveline is absolutely amazing: smooth yet eager to accelerate like your standard Euro VI E200.

Unlike the standard Enviro200, though, the bus doesn't drag but swings with oomph out of corners. In my opinion, these are the best diesel single-decker buses in London.

A quick review of buses I have already been convinced are the best diesel-powered buses in London. If you think the B13 is brilliant with its new ENRs, you will be amazed how the buses can show off even more so with the B15.
