6287 was involved in a incident this morning at Selsdon with a lorry. Only damage to it though was a scrape, however I saw the driver taking pictures of the lorry and the bus, possibly for insurance purposes

Yep 16 are due for Crawley to upgrade Routes 2, 4 & 5 plus frequency increase for Fastway Route 100. To me it seems silly putting Streetlites into an Enviro 200 garage but heyho......

Regular users won't be happy that the dual door Darts won't be on the 4 & 5 anymore presuming they are still allocated to those routes.

Regular users won't be happy that the dual door Darts won't be on the 4 & 5 anymore presuming they are still allocated to those routes. Dual door darts have never been allocated to the 4/5. They had the ex 465 Arriva enviros and are now allocated the ex London Omnitowns (ranging from 6615-6623). Route 2 has always been allocated the ex London dual door darts. (6201-6207 + 6217/6218) It's not been that long since 6201-6207 were refurbished with the painting of the handrails etc. 6217 and 6218 remain with the London yellow poles so assume they will be sold. I'll ask at the depot tonight. As Jay says, Route 100 is getting a frequency increase to every 15 minutes from September. In other Metrobus news, Route 400 goes double deck from September with Wright Geminis from Brighton upon being refurbished with brand new branding on the outside too.

It's Omnicity DDs that are coming from B&H for the 400 not Geminis.

Noticed just a minute ago that 6478 has quite a big hole (big enough to be noticeable) in the top left pillar where the tree deflector is

It has finished its refurb at ADL Harlow and Ive found a picture of it here. Hopefully it'll meet Metrobus London's 955 one day at Redhill!

It wont be looking like that, they got the paint job wrong and it is being repainted into correct scheme atm
