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 The top ups for the extension are hybrids not electric though AFAIK?

Happy to be corrected on this, as I only drawing assumptions off of a previous post. To be fair this could a solo example bus i.e. one demonstrator out of a hybrid order As far as I understand the E400H City does not have the under staircase seat that the E400EV City has, which made me believe this is an EV example.

That’s certainly a BYD. Is it definitely a CT plus one though? I think it's a demonstrator. After watching BBC breakfast, I noticed the bus doesn't carry any operator logos. It has a large "Enviro400EV" logo on the front bumper panel, as well as side adverts that promote the E400EV. Interestingly, I also noticed this example has a lower deck rear window, unlike the Metroline examples.

Sorry about the earlier mix up about the BBC Breakfast report. I just assumed based on the interior and fact a delivery is due any day now.
In other news its been reported elsewhere that CT Plus put out 3 single deckers on the N26 on the 29/9 - LVF shows the following
1243 YY66PYJ 29-09-2019 01:05 01:31 1266 YX17NWG 29-09-2019 00:30 02:25 1294 YX68UJM 29-09-2019 00:59 01:35
Looking at the times they seem to have only run a rounder at the most so wonder if there was some type of issue on that evening affecting the night run out.

Still no sign of the extra buses required for Saturday onwards?

Not good news, looks like unless they have kept it quite or have buses loaned from elsewhere temporarily that the 20 will have a few single deckers appear on it daily, not ideal but out of all the double decker routes, the 20 would cost them the least.

CT Plus, sorry HCT Group has form when it comes to getting buses delivered at the last minute - the buses for the 309 and the 20 appeared just a few days before the routes were taken on.
Could these be the first 69-reg buses in London service?

2548 - YX69NLY 2549 - YX69NLZ The first 69-reg buses on LVF!!! (The top up enviroCities for the 20) Yay! At last. I'm glad these have been registered so hopefully now its good to go for the 26's frequency increase, although could someone confirm if either of these have arrived yet?

On they day prior to the 388's extension to London Bridge, I spotted 2533 at London Bridge today, I guess it was route learning as I don't know what else it could be.

I saw two 69 plate buses without logos or blinds arrive at Ash Grove on Thursday.
Also I updated the thread title as I got an email at work stating CT Plus were to be referred to as HCT Group with immediate effect!
