I did think that but if you look NBFL specific items are annotated as such. Also every bus on that document has white operator logos shown. True but the only specific reference to white logos appears in the NRM section and nowhere else despite white logos being shown in every diagram used. We already know the NRM required white logos whilst standard fleet didn’t and it doesn’t appear to have changed. Extract from one of the type specific guidelines - Electroliner. Attachments:

Looks like I have an excuse to hop on the 58 after all these years. I like the new buses. It's about time Stagecoach moved from the traditional Alexander batched buses. It was slyly getting mundane.

Strange as I've seen another picture with the big "I'm an electric bus" decal on the nearside above the passenger door but nothing on the offside.
Odd they've sent them out different.

I really like to look of these MCVs. Even more so than the MMC City and Electroliner. Glad I’m staying in Leyton so I can go for a convenient ride.

is there any plans for the geminis once all the BZLs are out Doubt there will be any need for them in London considering how many spare E400s are floating around at the moment. |

They should have either left the volvo or put stagecoach logo in the grill area. I know I'm in a minority of one, but I agree with TfL that there should be no branding (roundel/operator logo/manufacturer logo) on the front or rear of the bus, just think it looks much neater. |

I think something should go on the front as otherwise, it just adds more blandness to a livery that is already extremely dull. The roundel looks fine on the front if sized correctly |

12511 for HKs 26/388 has been refurbished. The seats have been replaced with the TfL moquette as it had previously. I think 12504 is the only one that has been fitted with the leather seats (unless more have been refurbished that I'm not aware of) which Is interesting.

I am pleased they have decided to use the TfL moquette for the rest of the batch. I assume the horrid grey seating will continue to be used for other refurbishments. |

Have the handrails been repainted to orange (like 12504) or left gold? |

Have the handrails been repainted to orange (like 12504) or left gold? They have been painted gold like they were originally. Also it seems like the flat seats (like the ones at the rear and above the wheels) seem to be more padded. I'm not sure if the TfL moquette was originally like this but I know it's alot more padded than the standard Stagecoach ones  |
