Stagecoach put 86186 into service for the first time today with the LED displays not working. This really should not happen. All the customer information needs to be fully operational every day that a bus is in service. Guess that the calls for mass introduction of LEDs to stop the excessive banditry aren't going to be going away anytime soon. I wonder if the double deckers are being plagued with the same issues from the LEDs as the single deckers.

Poor is an understatement to describe the 174 results. I do hope 174 retained. Don't want Arriva London or Go Ahead London to win it 174 need PVR increase. Nothing wrong with the pvr, it is over generous. Problem needs to be sorted out with driver behaviour on that route. Seems to have the worst at [RM] that loves to run together and cannot be bothered to separate themselves. I would rather it was run from [NS], but that highly unlikely to happen again.

Has anyone rode the 759 temporary route in Brixton that Stagecoach are currently operating? It has quite an interesting routing in that in between following the P5 for a fair bit, it serves Barrington Road which has never seen any bus bar an extremely rare dead running P5 and Mostyn Road which has never seen any bus period. It also serves the tiny bit of Coldharbour Lane that is usually unserved by buses outside of diversions and dead running P4's although once upon a time, the P5 did serve this stretch of road albeit I think it was only in one direction

Any confirmation updates on the W12, W13 and W14's new electrics?
We might be seeing further BZLs?

Nothing's been mentioned yet, I do think BZLs would be likely though for at least the W13 (including 1 DD version), giving a common fleet with the 58 and 276 at LI. The W12 and W14 I think would depend on what length SD can fit around the restructured routes. LI and AW already have 9.4m Metrocities, so they might go with more of the same if nothing longer is suitable for either route.

With the re-routing of the W12, I think it will be able to take longer buses than what it's currently taking, though the W14's allocation may require a smaller length!

So does the W13 have an Enviro 400 City allocated to it, or a diesel Enviro 400?

So does the W13 have an Enviro 400 City allocated to it, or a diesel Enviro 400? This was debated a few weeks ago! I believe on paper it’s a E400 (10115). It was suggested here a E400 City was purchased for it back in 2017 but can’t confirm if that’s 100% official.

It did previously have 2538 allocated which was acquired second hand for the W13’s school journey and replaced EO1 which previously performed that role. Some point since Stagecoach acquired CT Plus, the vehicle has changed to a native Enviro 400

Canteen talk is W12 is getting the E100EV’s due to its re route from Walthamstow Village

Canteen talk is W12 is getting the E100EV’s due to its re route from Walthamstow Village That's disappointing as the "old" W14 is a busy route and the sections of the route that are unchanged will get a downgrade.
Said it before but these changes feel like change for change sake! They remind me of some of the fantasy ideas on here.
