Kickdown: Arriva London South VLA25 LJ53BFO | Volvo B7TL Transbus ALX400 10.6m | Route 2

I decided, after I got HV306 on the calming route 2 yesterday, to, one by one ride and take a photo of every last other VLA which should all be withdrawn for time to time, with the renew of 2 with brand new HVs 295-323 and 176's loss to Go-Ahead with brand new Euro6 hybrids (PVR from current 28 to new 24 with frequency lowered to every 10 minutes). Didn't expect a kickdown right from the bat from pretty much the start of the trip at the shops along Norwood Road near West Norwood station. I took the wonderful opportunity to take a photo and record this bus in action. Euro 3 (+SCRT = Euro 5) diesel ZF Ecomat 5HP500 5-speed gearbox Volvo D7C250 250hp engine Volvo B7TL 10.6m Transbus (Alexander) ALX400 10.6m Chassis number: Vo B7TL YV3S2J3173A002907 Body number: Tbs 3012/25 Layout: H49/25D + 18 standees Weighs 12100kg New September 2003. Ordered as part of a large batch (VLA1-55) for the contract retain of route 2 and to convert it to low-floor, as well as to convert neighbouring Norwood (N) routes to low-floor by having this VLA batch allocated to 68 to displace 68's DLAs to 176, thereby cascading a lot of Leyland Olympians. This bus was one of few selected to be refurbished in 2010, retaining the black window paint upstairs yet receiving the new seat moquette of Arriva.
