Currently routes 435 & X26 do not. #24 I wonder whether routes 482 & 350 will participate in the Heathrow Freeflow scheme. Currently routes 435 & X26 do not.

I was having a bit of a blond day! Has anyone travelled on them yet? They're a real step up in quality- proper leather seats, with cushions! Fantastically comfortable, although the ride is typical Scania- on the crashing side. The build quality seems a little better than previous East Lancs offerings, but still not up to the standard of WrightBus. They suit the TLU livery very well too- very smart looking. I for one am glad they're not going for the all-over red that their SP's carry... Thankyou #21, as soon as i’d asked the question i worked that out! I was having a bit of a blond day!

In the same area the 453 generates lots of expensive empty miles between Plumstead and Deptford.
