Is anyone able to confirm if LV24EUU is indeed 3103/the sole Electroliner ordered for the 111? I can't find anything on LVF or BLOTW regarding what fleet number it has, a new Electroliner was recently commissioned and delivered to FW so would make sense.

Managed an end to end ride on a Switch Metrocity on the H20 today - great as it is that Transport UK spec phone holders, they do need to use better materials for them as 1020 had several that been broken off and it's really cheap plastic as I found out when using them on the 322. Other than that, I think these are my favourite electrics so far
The other interesting thing is the blind on the electrics for Hounslow is Hounslow, Lampton Park - the MMC's still carry the old blind of Hounslow, Civic Centre when the centre used to be based by the H20 terminus (now situated at Bell Corner). Would of thought Hounslow, Civic Street or even a blend of Hounslow Central, Civic Street would of been used instead

Proper little pocket rockets. I'd pay good money to see one do a run with no speed limiter and how fast they reached...

The first few Electroliners for route 133/N133 have been spotted at Grayson’s en route for delivery to Battersea depot (QB). The first spotted examples are; 3059 and 3062.

It has been parked in Twickenham for over a week according to a reliable source.

Apologies, I had meant TF not FW.

Could keep all the frog faces at TF instead of just having one with the new front. I'm hoping it does end up staying as I'd like to see this new front in person.

A red Switch MetroCity has been registered as YJ24BKD on the 8th. Since it's red, it's highly likely to be for TfL use, I believe it's 8.7m, presumably for the S3 as part of an unannounced order? Not sure what other TfL route would need MetroCitys. No other record of the bus online. It's not Stagecoach for the 379 is it?
