The first buses with the new Tait communications systems are now on the road. They are from Bromley garage and can be identified by the R sticker in the nearside front windscreen.

DW335 of WN....for ServerKing DW335 ExhaustI ended up behind it on the bike the other day, so was not able to get a shot of the 'blank' fitted behind the round cut-out for the old exhaust port.

I saw this ages ago, and thought it could be a Citaro engine as these also had the same shape exhaust, but apparently the bus sounds just the same. Must have been an early Eu6 conversion. Now a modification so the blinds actually work would be fab

Tait have now fitted updated comms kit to the 1000th vehicle. Camberwell Garage.
Progressing quickly. An R sticker indicates buses that have the new kit.
