If you are talking about a post from aaron, I think Metrobus put up a duff fleetlist on their site at the weekend, which was quickly changed. I do not think that 957 is here yet, someone queried this fact on the group if it is the Yahoo one ... but it should not be long ... it is definitely in the UK now. He did also say possibly iBus float for the Darts --- which no one confirmed --- I would suggest this was a bit of a speculative guess on his part. If this is a different Metrobus Group where these details were confirmed, then I am happy to stand corrected Yeah, it was from the group you are referring to, and the post was from aaron. Thanks for the correction. Typical Aaron, I'll have a word with him ;D

Saw 707 YX58 DXC MAN/E200 on the 130 sitting at the Norwood Junction stand this morning. Trust me Arriva, these buses look one-thousand times better than what they look like in the photos. Hopefully if another makes it onto the 130 tommorow, I may sample one during my college lunch break and take a video. Believe it or not, I've never been on a MAN before. Noooo!!! I wanted to get there first ;D ;D but seeing as you live next door to them (MAN/E200s) compared to me. plus what happened to the route they are actually meant for??

Not sure, but apparently yesterday was their first day in proper service. I'll keep my eyes peeled on them.

Hopefully, more companies will order the MAN e200 over the ADL e200.

All three MAN/E200's (706-8) were out to play on the 130 today. Here's a pic of 707 I took this morning, I spotted it parked up beside the kerb along Portland Road, just before the railway bridge. Not only was the vehicle not parked properly (yes there were yellow lines), but the driver was nowhere to be seen and no passengers were on board at the time, although in service and blinded for New Addington. I'm quite baffled as to what happened here, I hope it was not abandoned! I do apologise for the blurry shot, I was quite in a hurry to college. Video shoud come sometime next week. Also just to let you guys know, all three of them now have their destination blinds the correct way round lol.

Quick trip to the paper shop or tea stop And no I haven't done it ;D ;D They look quite smart if you ask me. The rounded windows are a nice touch.

I got done by our old APM for parking up outside the kebab shop and getting my dinner in my defence I was running dead back to the garage As for that bus, it's not exactly parked next to the kerb, more like on it ;D
