well, be happy. most of them were transferd to liverpool to the london bus dumping ground of gtl, serving a good few years till the stagecoach takeover of 2005, with the last titan going in 2006. do miss them alot. noise of them, and the smell i will never forget!
0:45 is probably a childhood memory, Used to live in Barkingside and I took the 169 to Ilford/Barking all the time, I am 80% sure that photo is in Barkingside
Good luck to the kids remembering the ALX400 because they will be sold to other county's
They no longer have those double decker buses in London anymore? That's a shame. I want to someday visit London and would have liked to have ridden in one. :(
They have double deckers, but this particular one, no. The last one was seen on the streets round 2000 - 2001, before being replaced by its modern counterpart.
the last one left London in 2003 though Blue Triangle kept a handful as spares for its LF deckers and these normally stuck to their school routes until Dec 2005 when T8 made the last Titan journey on a TfL service
I loved travelling on the 277 at 0:50 everyday to and from College off Cassland Rd in Hackney lol.

I used to work for Blue Triangle, always loved driving the Titan, great bus to drive, very smooth and easy to drive.
