It’s been reported on the LVF FB group that 2503 was involved in a head-on collision overnight whilst on N550 Second/third time that’s happened on the N550 since they’ve been allocated City’s, hopefully everyone on board is okay. 2504/5 were also VOR due to the N550. It looks quite nasty, let’s just say that the car involved is a complete write off

Does anyone know if the extra buses required for the 26/388 changes have arrived yet? I wonder if CT Plus will need to hire in buses in October if the new buses are late.

Yesterday I spotted a W19 displaying a plain large Ilford display instead of the rather detailed normal Ilford High Road. Is the plain Ilford a short turn or have the newer blinds reverted to just Ilford?

It is the newer blinds that has reverted to normal Ilford blinds, a few of the old style Enviro 200's such as 1228 and every MMC's do have the standard Ilford blinds for the W19.

Thanks, it was a older styler E200 I spotted. Funny they reverted just as other companies have to started to include more detailed blinds (I think I see it reported here).

It was something like High Road Ilford, Hainault Street. To be fair, something like Ilford, Hainault Street would be great because there are multiple terminals in Ilford and just Ilford must confuse customers rhst don’t use the Route daily.

I thnk Ilford High Road, Hainault Street seemed to pedantic a bus display. Even just Ilford High Street, or Ilford Hainault Street would have been better.

I think plain Ilford has been around for so long now it's acceptable to use on a bus display, although I don't mind seeing the Hainault Street qualifier. Just nothing that makes the blind too cluttered like what happened with the W19.

I personally think a blind should be descriptive as possible, certainly would rather have 'Ilford High Road, Hainault Street' than simply plain old 'Ilford' especially when you have three different places for buses to terminate. A compromise would be 'Ilford, Hainault Street' as simply having 'Ilford High Road' is still rather vague.

2541 is apparently now on VOR. This doesnt fair well for CT plus with now 3 E400 Citys on VOR however 2541 does seem to be tracking on LVF so possibly not VOR after all, has been out since the 24th Sept before today. Hopefully the other two will return soon.

BBC Breakfast has a report from ADL and was just on a E400 City being delivered to London today. It looks like CT Plus model for the 20 top up.

I thought the internal configuration looked like an Enviro400EV City rather than the hybrid Enviro400H City. If it is the EV, my thought was that it may be for the 26/388 enchantments/extension, with cascades to the 20
