2005 has a sticker saying only for use on 427 and N207. It's on the 207 and was bought for the 278 ?? 2001-5 were bought for the 207. 2006-12 were bought for the 278.

If it was MGW they could not even do that ... MGW is Maximum Gross Weight, which would be 18 tonnes even if running light. It depends on how it is calculated. It seems the rule in London according to the GLA website is that all buses should have a MGW of 18 tonnes. The question that should be asked is how that is calculated. If 68kg is the acceptable average and it's permitted to only use the vehicle's seated capacity as a multiplier then most buses should comply with that. If a more standard average is used and total capacity is the multiplier then things could get a bit more interesting in some cases, which is why a few bus types out there have standing capacities that are a lot lower than the number of people that can and do cram on. MGW is calculated by types of axel and wheel/tyre type ... it has nothing to do with average passenger weight. Average passenger weight is used to establish capacity. 18 tonnes (MGW) - actual weight = maximum weight that can be carried. This figure divided by 68kg -1, for driver become your authorised capacity. The MGW of a vehicle does not vary depending on the load being carried. Sitting empty on the depot, it MGW is 18 tonnes, fully (or even overloaded) it's MGW will still remain as 18 tonnes. So if as bus has an MGW of 18 tonnes and is lightly loaded actually only weighing 14 tonnes, it is still illegal to pass a MGW limit of 15 tonnes as your MGW is still 18 tonnes. Other kinds of weight limit are different, but where it explicitly stipulated as MGW as was stated in the original post, then this is the case.

Is there a chance when the 285 goes to Abellio that we could see LTs on it! Would like to see an LT in Feltham!

Rather geeky this, but I’m really curious to see what registration marks the Caetano ECities will carry. I wonder if Reading (RX/RN) plates could make a return which the old 235 Caetano’s had, or Nottingham (FJ) plates which are very common on National Express Caetano Levantes. Will be interesting 😁
