Cab POV: Tramlink Replacement | Wellesley Rd - New Addington - Croydon, George Street | VDL DB300 G2

Bridging the gap since the last upload of a Cab POV we have some Tramlink Replacement! During early to mid-April there was engineering work carried out in various locations, resulting in a fortnight-long period of buses replacing the trams.

You're met by darkness again... here on the last rounder of the day, this VDL DB300 in Gemini 2 body from Arriva London is driven quite spiritedly, fit for purpose as you will be able to tell! Leaving several minutes late, the driver has to fight time with an already-tight timetable. But as late as it was, not a single soul was picked up which meant there was a good chance in catching up to schedule!

The stops this route served was (going Eastbound) Wellesley Road, East Croydon, Lebanon Road, Sandilands, Coombe Lane, Gravel Hill, Addington Village Interchange, Fieldway, King Henry's Drive and New Addington. Westbound services alighted at Electric House for George Street instead of Wellesley Road and instructed to stand at Hogarth Crescent, further down the A212.
As always, headphones are advised, make the experience a bit more immersive for yourself!

Big thanks to the driver for making this possible! 🙏🏾

Enjoy the video!
