Although I found this very unlikely to happen, it seems that HV282 has a new LED iBus at the lower and upper deck, and the seats have been refurbished to have priority seating. It almost looks like a future spec to me! A shame they couldn't add the wooden flooring. seen a photo of the front on The Londoner. Looks absolutely fantastic, hopefully the refurbs for the 66/103/150/175/370 are to the same standard

I believe these are the first refurbs to have the priority seating maquette, new screens and (apart from the SL routes) USB points added.

Trying to add the images, but the file is too big I fear. I did actually notice that same new iBus screen when I saw Ee244 on the 119 two weeks ago. I do think that's a step in the right direction, but hopefully there's more information added to it, such as live train/tube/tram departures when the bus is approaching a station.

Yeah these new screens are pointless if they just show just the route number and bus stop. No point installing them if they don’t do anything different

While the interior on the 14reg looks rancid the refurbs are very recent and the actual refurb on them seems to have been done relatively well so I can easily see them lasting 3 more years.

Plus, the new screens also fit the wall they're installed to unlike the older screen and I suspect are probably more energy efficient too so they're not pointless in my eyes.

Says first of 2 with 67 more to do ... the exact number (69) of G3s at N ... if my calculations in my head are correct.

HV280 will be an easy one to do as it already sports a nearly new repaint & logos from last year
