Very Good. It was about time the yellow handrails made it's return after all these years. The beige has served it's purpose. The beige grab rails have started looking very grubby on one of the refurbished DWs at Tottenham, glad it's back to yellow. Noticed in the YouTube clip that the "DB Company" strapline was already gone, with the Arriva logo placed almost towards the back of the vehicle đł Have the others arrived yet?

Does anyone else prefer white poles? The yellow poles age horrendously, they are so ugly on the 255 and 289 for example, even in newer vehicles it just looks off I agree, nothing wrong with yellow generally but it doesn't really go with the rest of Arriva's interior. They seemed to finally bring in line their SDs with the DD fleet starting with the EMCs, but even these have now been repainted to yellow. Then the SLSs/MMCs for the 377/410/450/B13 also had white, but Arriva went back to yellow again for the 192/289/W4/W6 orders. Also odd that the new EMNs don't have high back seats - particularly as Arriva's ESs do have them. This seemed to be the one aspect of high spec that all operators had followed (other than the 339/W5 batches which may have been ordered before the new spec was introduced). Still doesn't make sense that Arriva don't have leather headrests, and Metroline don't have wood-effect flooring for their interiors. Plus for certain vehicle types other variations like sunroofs, glass corner windows, glass staircases etc, as well as the different approaches to highlight priority seats.

That I'm not sure about as of yet. Hopefully someone from the inside can tell us

So folks. This upcoming Sunday will be the last Sunday that the 157 will run with TH's own vehicles. So get out there and make it count.

I thought both SL2 & SL3 were to use LTs(which surprised me being a Mayoral project) It was reported on here that route SL3 is getting LTs from route 168. Not sure about route SL2. The tender award did state âexisting hybrid double deckâ as the vehicles it will use than âexisting New Routemasterâ. However, I am aware things may change on that front.

Does anyone know what will happen with HA20 when the 78 moves to Go Ahead? Also what buses will the 157 use from next Saturday?
