I drove the 64 today, I drove ES18 and 19. Both very lovely buses to drive. However, the only negative thing I don't like about it is that every time the front doors are opened and closed, the brake has to be pressed before moving off. But overall, very nice buses, incredible uphill. I prefer my HAs though

HV80 finally returns to service after nearly a year out!! HV95 has also returned after marked VOR. I remember seeing that one with its engine bonnet open along with Dynes truck at Muswell Hill. Just two weeks before it disappeared. Not uncommon at this time period to come back after a major engine work or electrical component/hybrid failure? Which is becoming more problematic with age I noticed esp with Metroline AC batch. |

Despite its ibis not fully functioning, T220 is one of the only buses on route blinded correctly with all blinds displaying the right thing which in itself is a massive improvement for the 103, most are running around with 103 blank and blank rear blinds there’s also a few DWs with ripped blinds on the 66/103/370. Either all of the DWs are being replaced by Ts which is why they haven’t been replaced or GY have simply given up with presentation, when the DWs were refurbished blinds were always correct on all 3 routes and bus presentation was amazing at GY, they’ve really slipped in the last year massively. Not true, yesterday I went past two DW's on the 103 fully blinded in ALL blind boxes! |

Okay, 2 were blinded at some point in the day, when I was out on T220, every bus I saw was not blinded correctly and 2/14 buses at some point in the day still is not really imo acceptable. |

Saw 5 together when boarding in the Collier Row, they seem to be split up now. DW248 on stand for 20 minutes at Hillrise Estate . DW249 on stand for 30 minutes at Hillrise Estate. Looks like they are sending them off the terminus either end every 10 minutes with 2/3 on stand at a time. |

Route SL5 retained new Electrics Would you know if it's doubles or singles by any chance? (Don't worry if you have to keep quiet for confidential reasons) |
