New electric buses have entered service today on route 180: 14167/8/72 2 didn't last very long. Only one out now. Probably take a little time for the staff to get used to them. I see the 160 at TL is 100% Dennismasters as I write.

It's no more a stupid term than Borismaster, or indeed another coined by a member of this forum, "Frog face". Do you object to those too? I'm astonished at this.

I am not Borismaster is touted for Boris Johnson (politician) and Frog Face is a joke as the buses do look a bit like frog faces. You do realise that if you are in a community of bus enthusiasts, ridiculing incorrectly a very fine indeed company which produced one of the best buses some people, like cl54 and myself to a lesser degree, can find it irritating. Anyways, at least bususer79 is gone, his gambling plans were not implemented ; what a shock! [joke]

I much prefer EvoSeti's (MCV) and Gemini 3s (Wrightbus) on B5LH chassis.

[joke] I absolutely refute the allegation of "ridiculing" the former Dennis company, the present Alexander Dennis Ltd, or anyone else called Dennis for that matter. The term is merely a portmanteau of Alexander Dennis Ltd (the manufacturer) and New Routemaster (which has very obviously inspired much of the styling of this bus). For what it's worth, the ADL Enviro 400 City (as it is also known) is my favourite of the new generation of buses. Ridicule could not be further from my mind.

No, Dennis was bought by Hestair holdings (early 1970s) who later sold it to Trinity Holdings (in 1989). This was then bought by Mayflower Holdings (in 1998), which became Transbus International, however Transbus International went into administration in 2004. What became ADL was a buyout of some of the assets in administration by group of Investors including Brian Souter (one of the founders of Stagecoach). These days ADL is owned by Canadian New Flyer Industries So to answer your question directly ADL is the successor to Transbus

Excellent news, looks like Stagecoach will be existing most of its coach market though although the Oxford Tube is remaining with them.

Stagecoach brand retained interestingly I wonder if some National Express services will eventually park coaches in at least one Stagecoach depot during the day (assuming there aren't any existing arrangements as I'm not clued up on that part of town).
