Saw that 2102 was on the PN 2 last night - thought Volvo B7RLE's couldn't go on the 2 as they're never on the route? 🧐

They've been used every so often they just aren't first choice as it's a struggle. Even as the 222 I remember 0405N's and B7's making odd appearances when there was no smaller vehicles or Deckers available...

Big singles shouldn't be on there due to parking on the estates

Same with the 19 and even E200 LWBs struggle to get through on some of the roads. Do miss seeing the B7RLE there.

I took a B7RLE on a 19 once on a Saturday night, was absolutely fine tbh, Wisley was a little tight, but if you're smart about your road positioning its easy enough.

There are a few peak hour journeys on the 19 that could certainly benefit from higher capacity buses although I appreciate whey they aren't used.

When BC operated the predecessor to the current 19, B7RLEs were quite common, although I think they tended to miss out the Wisley Way loop? Not ideal if you live on that section I guess.
