Route 120 New Buses 29/06/12

Thanks to a tip-off from the new WLTM Bus Blog reporter, Matt, I decided to go and see the ADEs on Route 120 myself. However, due to timing issues with my school, and a really annoying E8 driver, I couldn't actually do a proper ride on one.


Anyway, these buses still smelt new, and the fresh smell of 'rubber' was still there (direct quote from Matt, who told me about this yesterday)

 The people of the 120 seem to get these new buses messy quite quickly...

This was not the way I planned it...

At least I got a video of a ride on ADE5:

Overall, many, many annoyances on buses occurred and I lost three connections just because of the timing issues my school seems to have. Well, thanks to my reporter: Matt...
