Todays video is an FRV on the route 18 from Euston to Sudbury. This is a route that is quite frequent, busy and definitely long. Tbh, it’s not that long as people make it out to be. It’s just the traffic that makes it long. The route was going swimmingly until Wembley. Then we were stuck in Wembley for a good 20-25mins. It was sooo long and boring, the traffic was moving slower than the average Romfordian. Thankfully it wasn’t that sunny, because then I’d have to worry about it overheating lol. The first driver was actually really good and we ended up going the wrong way by taking the underpass at Warren Street, making us miss both the Warrent Street Bus Stops lmao. Was so cool going that way. The bus came very late and tbh I was close to do doing 253, since I thought this bus curtailed. I wanted do the 18 on a G2 VH but one that still has the orange poles, since those are certi. Thankfully the bus spawned last second. The route is actually really nice, the first bit tho. After Royal Oak the route is boring mid. The route is basically straight a line, a few short turns here and there but nothing that much. I don’t get why people don’t like this route that much, it is definitely underrated lol. I’d rate it an 8/10.
