 Seen in July 2011 at Milehouse no less than three Volvo B9TL/Wrights queue at the station stop. This is a crew changeover point which leads to bunching here. The route was taken over from Stagecoach and the Volvos displaced Stagecoach bendibuses. They also represented a return to Volvos after the B7TLs no longer met TfL standards, particularly for noise and weight. The B9TLs have lost their rear upper deck windows as part of the weight saving measures. |

 The lead bus, VN36102 (BJ11DSZ) is seen later in the day, prior to the evening rush hour, going dead into the city to take up service. |

 Refreshingly void of adverts, Volvo VN36152 (BJ11EAE) is seen on the D7 at Milehouse the same day. |
