Route 474 - Canning Town to Manor Park

[Clip]

I have the rather infrequent joy(sarcasm) of catching buses in London every so often - and I detest it - but the last week I have had to catch the 474 service.

Is there any reason whatsoever that the buses on this service are the brightest and cleanest buses I have ever ridden on in London?

What's wrong with catching buses in London? They tend to be better than in many parts of the UK.

I'm not aware of anything special about the 474.

I tend to find buses in London tend to normally be a lot cleaner than the ones up here. Well, depending on the area they travel through.

And I agree that a lot of London routes are well presented, but not to the exclusion of provincial routes.

I just dont like buses.

The contrast between that and either a 51 or 53 ive also had to ride on in the same week is massive in the presentation. both the ones on this sentence were dirty and lots of grafitti but the 2 474's I travelled on were sparkling. I mean properly clean. I only noticed it because they really were that clean compared to just about every other bus I have ever used

Probably because the Garage they're run from has decided to give them a wash after all the snow etc.

I know a lot of buses atm are going around dirty because the garages can't wash them because either;

a) The wash has frozen/will freeze up
b) To stop the buses themselves freezing up (Wipers, doors etc)

But they should start getting cleaner again now the weathers getting (slightly) warmer!

Sorry, the outsides can be filthy especially as they go past the crossrail worksite all day long I mean the insides of them. If anyone is bothered next time your around that area go and sit on one. Im still amazed

I was on one just yesterday as it happens and they are quite clean....

You must of just had some dodgy buses as the one's around my end of London are in the same sort of condition of the 474's buses.
