The new ADHs will be registered YY67UUO/P/R/S, and are coded ADH45258-61. Is there a reason why they have not been coded ADH45052-5 to follow on from the 27's batch, similar to how the 15-reg G3 VHs follow on from the 13-reg G2 VHs? Any updates on where/when these will enter service (the 258's original contract start date is 3rd Feb). Probably because the route number in the bus code ADH45 258. I did hear something about MMCs into BT this week but I dont know how accurate these rumours are. I guess we will have to wait and see. The 635's VHs are going to the initial designated garage, so hopefully these MMCs will be too. Remember ADL did tell me via Twitter that these MMCs will be delivered on time. Edit: Ive realised why it is coded from 258, due to the numbering from the VHs.

Edit: Ive realised why it is coded from 258, due to the numbering from the VHs. The 18's VHs are until *251. The 635's VHs may be 252-4, which still leaves 255-257.

VLP45253/4 fill that gap, so the 635's ones will be 45255-257? Unusual the ADHs are also in that coding area though, I thought RATP were going like First and Stagecoach where each bit of the number means different things, hence why Volvo hybrids are 45101+ and ADL hybrids are 45001-45051. Maybe it's to do with the Euro rating, since the last ADHs were E5 and these are E6.

The 635’s VH’s are 255-257 - the pics that were linked in the RATP thread shows those fleet numbers on the actual buses. Also, as mentioned by Lewis J.N. the two Vantage VLP’s took the 253-254 numbers.

Maybe it's to do with the Euro rating, since the last ADHs were E5 and these are E6. VH45101-VH45123 are Euro 5 so it can't be the Euro emission rating.

Also, as mentioned by Lewis J.N. the two Vantage VLP’s took the 253-254 numbers. Just *252 missing then That bus is expected to be a Streetdeck Demonstrator and that will be numbered as WH45252

Any updates on where/when these will enter service (the 258's original contract start date is 3rd Feb). The buses at renumbering where done in blocks, where possible incorporating the existing digits The newly delivered buses are in continuous sequence which is 45xxx for hybrid double decks VH45101-45123 for 2013 euroV VH45124-202 VHR45203-208 VH45209-215 (long versions for Kingston University services) VH45216-51 (for route 18) VW45252 is a streetlite demonstrator (not yet arrived) VPH45253-4 the Vantage conversions of VLPs VH45255-57 (ordered for route 635) ADH45258-61 (ordered for route 258) Type TBA 45262- (ordered for 105)

A small update on the 470's incoming MMC's They are to 9.7m spec with a dual door (similar length to the outgoing OS's) and at least some are already delivered sitting at Epsom - I saw some pics earlier on Facebook

Has anyone got pictures of the adh for 258 Looks like the MMCs for the 258 will be coming to BT after all!!!!! I was sent a screenshot of an image from facebook by one of my Instagram followers, if your reading this post, thanks for letting me know. They were seen at ADL's Scarborough plant, logoless. There are fewer black panels in comparison to Metrolines MMCs I think.

What I fear is that RATP have had the light panels will be red instead of black like how their VH with red and not black, that makes it distinctive but too red and then when you step in it's all green!
