With the fitting programme coming to an end, I wondered if there are buses out there that were not fitted. (last two garages on the installations thread are WH and KX)
Please include observations of service buses not fitted
Possible reasons could be transfers to a garage already done; bus was away for major repair or refurbishment at the time; was expected to be withdrawn by now, but is still working etc.
I know Putney's three trial B9 volvos VE1-VE3 didn't have I-bus a few weeks ago, but everything else at Putney was done months ago

Was on a 30 the other day which didn't have Ibus - The 30 is operated from WH I believe. (Didn't get the bus number, just didn't notice the usual Ibus announcements)

From another group somebody in the know has stated that U and WH are the last garages to be done with a few odds and sods to be picked up on.

It was reported sometime ago that a number of Transdev London Sovereign VLP's do not have ibus screens on the upper deck for unknown reason. The following ones do not have them on the upper deck are VLP5, 8, 9, 10, 15, 17, 18, 19, 22 & 26. I don't know if these have them fitted on the upper deck yet?

That's odd... but if I'm unlucky enough to ride one or I see one doing the rounds on the 292 then I'll try and look out for the screens for you.

Further to this, saw VLP9 today, and I am sure it has the iBus screens on the upper deck as the board in the front window looked too wide to be a standard 'Bus Stopping' light...

How does the driver communicate with Code Red and the bus depot, is it still the old radio system? If so, doesn't that affect the running of the ibus service?
