Although, their 2016 buses and Euro VI came in September 2015. They can’t operate on TfL services within the Central London area, bordered by the ring road unless forced into the zone by a diversion. Only hybrids, hydrogen and electric buses on TfL services are allowed to do so on the above basis So what about the “Merton Evader” batch of buses that consistently run the 36 - they are diesel enviro 400’s older than the ones previously suggested

I couldn't understand why a stray 'E' can be seen on the 36 most days as I thought the route entered the Congestion Zone now I know! However 36 does follow the Congestion Zone western perimeter all the way from Edgware Road to the south side of Vauxhall Bridge.

Yes, Park Lane, Grosvenor Place and Vauxhall Bridge Road all form part of the boundary of the CC Zone, but are not actually included in it. I think that's where people get confused. Marylebone Road, Euston Road, Pentonville Road and City Road also border the Zone, but are not included.

I was at Gants Hill earlier waiting for a 123 guess what??? All 3x buses in a row were HVs! Is there any chance the route will go back to fully DW? The 158 did so we shall see. Perhaps after most of the HVs have moved on, I can see the 123 being DW / EZ operated depending on how many are ordered. I could see. Arriva ordering more than enough for a route retain, perhaps the new shape Electroliners (Wright are apparently to update the double deck model again in near future) for 158 and 217 as DWs won't last forever All speculation, we will see. I never thought I'd be seeing GY DWs on ths 217 before today anything could happen Talking of DWs, I might be late on this but had not seen one on 150 until a few days ago. Really odd looking but much better than the usual branded Ts.

Thank you for pointing up my typo; I meant to write 322.

New EKL Kites for the 255 at St Helen's depot in Merseyside in storage. Photo courtesy of Arriva North West Facebook group. They definitely look to be shorter models judging by this photo (10.2m)

Easy way of telling is the amount of windows of the driver side. A TUK Kite has four full sized windows on the driver side, these only have 3 I can’t believe these have even been registered, they’re sitting there with tape over the plates, no need to register and tax them yet

Just seen T221 on Eastern Avenue at Marks Gate area. Looks like it’s on its way to Grays.

Although, their 2016 buses and Euro VI came in September 2015. Euro VI buses and coaches are permitted in the Congestion Charge Zone. However any bus working a TfL-contracted bus service must be hybrid, or zero-emission, this is a specific requirement. Use of a Euro VI diesel on a TfL service inside the Congestion Charge Zone may be subject to a penalty*. * but only if the operator gets found out I wonder if the CC ANPR is trained with that information (or if info is then fed on from that)? Presumably not?
