Cab POV: Metroline Route 297: Ealing Broadway - Willesden, Bus Garage | Wright G2 Volvo B9TL ZF

The 297 is a 24-hour high frequency, 9-mile long route running between West & North-West London with journey times peaking at 1hr 20mins and 50mins off peak. It travels via West Ealing, Perivale, Alperton, Wembley Central, Wembley Park & Neasden. Northbound, it provides a great connection between Ealing & Perivale via the B455 & 456. Running alongside the A40 briefly, passengers can interchange between Route 95 and the 297 at the same bus stop, giving local residents a link to Hanger Lane, or even further to White City & Sheperds Bush! Between Perivale and Alperton it shares with no other bus, then runs alongside the 83 through to Wembley Central, then again it's own route through to Wembley Park, running alongside 83 up to Blackbird Hill... then after Neasden it is a quick link to Willesden.

On an Sunday morning, too early for the commonly unpredictable traffic, this driver runs on a tight timetable akin to the night-service, but has the advantage of clear roads and moderately empty bus stops through the residential areas allowing for a smooth, clean run.
Big thanks to the driver for making this possible! 🙏🏾
