EA11024 (LK53FCC) seen in January 2006 on the 18 near Marylebone Station. |
With their days numbered, EA11052 (LK05FCN) is seen at White City on the 207. As seen on page 1, the 207 was the first route to try the bendibus, it was also the last to loose them. The bus is seen in September 2011 with less than a year left in service.

Sister vehicle EA11057 (LK05FBY) heads through Ealing to the convenient Hayes-by-Pass terminus, the roundabout there being ideal to turn a bendibus, but hardly top of the attractive destinations.

Seen from a 607 heading to White City, EA11054 (LK05FCP) shows the view of the bendibus that Mayor, Boris Johnson was most anxious to see. The 607 express maintained the link between Uxbridge and Shepherds Bush which the 207 lost when it was truncated at Hayes-by-Pass with the advent of the bendibuses. Route 427 replaced the 207 between Uxbridge and Acton, but with the demise of the bendibus the 207 - operated by First London's Scanias - still terminates at the by-pass.
