Do you know what Route MHV90 has been refurbished for as it has SW codes. None because it’s only temporarily part of the 333 along with the other MHV’s at SW. Presumably, it was done as an error as they are being refurbished for the 89

Apparently MHV19 has had its stay at Q extended to help fast track more hybrid refurbishments as Hants have had more slots open up due to the LT refurbishment coming to a slow. It's also the reason why there are extra Ees on the 57 temporarily as some of the WHVs at AL are off for refurbishment. I saw a picture of an EH that had just returned from the Trim with the old GAL logo, and I thought "EH?" Some of the MHVs on the 476 could do with a refurb like the EHVs. London Central buses look out of place in North London So do London General buses, as LG represents south west London. I wish NP had been given a new trading name. Admittedly the whole operation would soon go on to be just Go-Ahead London.

Abellio/TUK buses have Morden bound N133s showing Mitcham on a nightly basis even though they are not curtailing there I’ve also seen quite a few buses displaying N63 during the daytime, with some of the destinations being set to Crystal Palace. That's an appropriate bus for people to board when they need a daytime snooze

Admittedly the whole operation would soon go on to be just Go-Ahead London. I think that's the aim with the new logo, but the different company names are under LG in SW18 now perhaps putting the new logo which is just Go Ahead London, without the array of names from businesses acquired during their time in London The original LGOC / General was in these parts years ago before London Transport came into existence, so it's a welcome return. But merging all under one name will end confusion of London General WVNs on Docklands Buses routes for any irritated enthusiasts...

I wouldn't be surprised to see the 396's E200 EVs enter service quite soon as it's only 4 buses. It also frees up SEs for elsewhere. I'd imagine when the 325/396 convert to EV operation. SE's could cascade to rid GAL of the OMs and any remaining SOEs fro the S1. it wouldn't surprise me if they even got rid of a few WS.

WVN23 has just crashed into a car at the Essex Rd/Newington Green Rd Junction whilst crossing towards Angel! I was actually on board with two other passengers.
Driver is now arguing with the 3 men from the car users!

Driver is now arguing with the 3 men from the car users! Very risky junction, especially with Clephane Road. Not too long ago, I was finding myself to walk to Islington Green as a Ferrarri coming from Mildmay Park to Newington Green Road had crashed at the Essex Road junction hitting a traffic light and a 30 bus. This shut pretty much all four roads and New North Road was having delays for a good hour, and New North Road with De Beavouir Town is often filled with roadworks and single file traffic (up to1 lane in both directions).

Why won't Go Ahead put their new logo on the front of new buses/buses being refurbished? Other operators still do it, but is it to save costs or something? I think it would really look nicer with them unless they plan to put the TfL roundel or something, looks really boring with nothing at the front although its not that much of a big deal

That's strange, many new buses have entered service and they still carry the operators logo at the front, it's been seen on the BZLs with Stagecoach and Metroline, additionally with the Electroliners that have/yet to enter service..? I assume it's an optional requirement then and Go Ahead are trying to stay on the safe side?
