View AttachmentAdmittedly not the best photo I've taken but this looks incredible I thought TfL say no operator logo allowed on front of buses on new contract start? |

That new E400 looks hideous.

LV24 EUY currently out in service on the 247. Wonder if they are going to move the 242 allocation to the 247? Will the pvr of the 242 mean there will be enough buses to cover? I do think someone from NS mentioned that the 247's allocation will be the 242's Electroliners until HK's been wired up and ready to accomodate them. In terms of the 247, it's likely that they could fully convert it electric with them, but it also depends if they have enough chargers for the route already installed. There are around 15-16 electroliners for the 242, so there should be enough to make the 247's PVR of 11 buses. That was meeeee, only temp for now as no rota’s or schedules have been done. |

View AttachmentAdmittedly not the best photo I've taken but this looks incredible I agree! It looks really nice, and what makes it better is that the LED seems to be perfectly programmed and is a clear example of what some buses require! |

The SL3 contract doesn't start until next February, it looks pretty much complete so I'm not sure if it is actually the SL3 allocation. It starts in January, and we don't know whether TB will be ready for electrification by then, they are expecting E100 EVs for the B14, BZLs for the 314 and this batch of buses. Whilst you could be right, I still think that this could potentially be for the SL3, or at least trialled on the route. I personally am doubtful a bus for a tender awarded in April is already built and ready for delivery. The bus also has a 24 reg number plate which suggests it will enter service soon which to me suggests more a demo bus.

A picture of the SL3's future allocation, this is NOT a demonstrator because Stagecoach have ordered these before the demonstrator could be released. I can’t tell in these photos but will these buses have the TFL moquette because in this photo the poles look a lot more yellow than the ones on the other electrics so mabey this means brand new stagecoach moquette??? Also will these buses have roller blinds or LED ones |

Is it just that one bus that us allocated or will we see more? |

I hope this new upcoming TfL spec standard for new buses will mandate these programmed screens with Mobitec improving their renowned poor reliability |
