It seems as though a B5LH MMC has strayed on to the D8, unfortunately I have no pictures, but they are doing amazing on the route. I hope to see the other one on the route soon! (FYI, 13102 is on the route, 13101 hasn't gone on it yet) See that one last night going through Canary Wharf. |

5/9 buses on the D8 are now Evoseti's, I know none are allocated but I assume this will continue happening throughout until the route is *hopefully* retained!

Nothings confirmed and I’m not saying that’s what’s being ordered however, In my opinion I think it’s likely that the 169 and 287 will get electroliners as part of a bulk order with the 247’s. I could imagine a possible discount of sorts if they purchase x amount of buses at once.

Only saying this because I have a feeling BK may be fond of the single decker BZLs and may want to try the double decker one? |

So it wouldn't be down to a garage being fond of a particular type. |

I don't think BK could be fond of a bus type they dont have. You have a good point, I was only making a reference to when they had one of the 276's BZLs on the Open Day. Who knows, perhaps an engineer took a look around and could even advise them for the 169. |

The BZL was at BK for the running day because it was one of the newer motors Stagecoach had at the time - it's quite common for a new bit of kit to turn up at one of those events. |

Once the new EVs arrive for the 314, when it requires a lower of buses are they likely to be onto the 246 & 336?
Is it odd that the W11s EVs have not yet been on the W12 which is also due to convert?
