Probably worth mentioning 11066, as it appears no obvious post has been made apart from on the repaints thread, where its special livery wasn’t mentioned. The new Selkent Diplomat does look good in its red/white/black livery! 12345 is also a recent repaint and it thankfully retains its red/cream/black Selkent Ambassador colours. I wonder if they picked 12345 in particular because of its very satisfying fleet number, or just a happy coincidence 😂 I should think it wasn’t an accident that 12345 was chosen!

The three special liveries: 12345 for the quirky fleet number 12400 for the 00 at the end 11066 - does anyone see the connection with something in history?

Don't think i need to say anymore unless someone ignored GCSE History.

In addition to the 3 special livery buses above, 11377 was chosen for the Spirit of London bus for having 7/7 in the fleet number and while 10301 doesn't have the same specific meaning with the fleet number, it is the first in the E400 MMC batch for NS and would likely be reason for it to be chosen for the Macmillan livery bus.

Seen a few posts that mention the 422 today. Is the route going to be using older E400s for its new tender or are they just a part allocation? Not sure what buses it is currently allocated on paper.
As the route runs from PD it most likely will see the mix of buses as does now.

19753 and 10121 were used on the 616 today. I wonder if they were blinded as I thought only the hybrids got new blinds at T.
I could be wrong and the whole garage has been done.

Yes, it will go on pretty much as is. Not sure exactly what its official allocation is, but I believe some of the pure diesels PD has are ostensibly 422 vehicles.

The recent tender award for the 422 states it will be a fully Diesel allocation, so I am not sure what to expect. The 96 & 472 see Diesels daily despite being allocated Hybrids so it probs is a any bus, any route scenairo at PD (excl the 53 due to the ULEZ).

You’ll look in vain for diesels on the 122 and 180 as well, and they are very uncommon on the 161.

Two single decks on the 165 today, 36526 and 36604. It's the first time since the route was converted to DD (end of last month) that a single deck has been on the route - and now there's 2.
