There isn’t really a specific thread for buses getting reblinded, so it’s be a good idea to have all talk on vehicle reblinding concentrated here.
- So I’ll start by saying the 188’s WHVs have new blinds for Q garage, making they’re old MG ones redundant.
- I hope the Q fleet gets updated soon so the majority have the 176/188.
- I also hope all of the DT E400 fleet gets updated to show the 99/269/401 soon.

WVL350, 352, 354, 355 and 357 have all been reblinded recently.
The engineers are being a bit lazy, and still haven't done 351, 353 and 356 yet, even though it's been over a month!

It is incredibly easy to put it down to engineers being lazy, however the real problem is sourcing blind sets themselves. Only one company produces smart blinds. |

The only DT T's being done is the 160's 61 reg batch - DT 11 has mentioned before that the newer ones are not being done Only T288, T289, T296 & T297 have blinds nothing else at the moment. I think it would make sense to merge this with the White Blinds Observations thread because most buses now have them and quite pointless to have two threads with the same subject. WVL350, 352, 354, 355 and 357 have all been reblinded recently. The engineers are being a bit lazy, and still haven't done 351, 353 and 356 yet, even though it's been over a month! So what if 3 haven't been done at least some have already been done in that batch. It is not the case of being lazy, smart blinds take time to be removed and fitted and if engineers have other more important things to do then dealing with blinds isn't a priority. The task cannot be rushed otherwise blinds will get torn / damaged generally can take about 1 hour per blind and must be fitted properly and not rushed. |

DW's 490 and 492 re blinded - though I wait to see if reports of the new Solos Metroline are buying for the H3 will be the first in London with LED blinds. Last month's Buses mag hinted at operators being able to use LED as the costs of the current system was too high  |

BK Enviro 400's will need to be reblinded to contain the new 169 Clayhall THE GLADE blind (Currently only found on 16 reg MMC's), the 179 (Which will move to BK later this year) and the 677 (The blinds currently only found on 16 reg MMC's).

Clayhall always had the "The Glade" as a qualifier, it was only removed when the Y-reg Tridents were introduced to the route in 1999/2000. The 11-reg Enviros were not reblinded when the 101 transferred into BK so they may not get done for the 179 or 677 any time soon |

The 11-reg Enviros were not reblinded when the 101 transferred into BK so they may not get done for the 179 or 677 any time soon The 16reg are mostly blinded for the 179 so that should provide a large enough pool of spares if they decide not to reblind them, however I did see one which had the 387 on the blinds the other day and that set does not contain the 179. BK were very good with the 101 for 5 years, with only 1 or 2 non blinded buses escaping onto the route, unlike its new home which has already exceeded that in the space of a year . Talking of which Blue triangle need to get the 147s buses reblinded because about a month ago there was a 147 bus on the 5 quite often and it was banditised onto the route, and when the 474 goes these will be route bound to the 147 which I don't see ending well at all. |

Great thread. Does anyone know if the EvoSeti’s on the route 1 (MHV84 and MHV85) are now based at MG and if so, will they be blinded for the other MG routes?

I think some of the 2/249 HV's have been reblinded to have 468 as 4 have been out I suspect all of the 17 reg HV’s at N now contain the 468 as I saw a number of older ones on the route as well. |
