- I have seen it reported that The Delaine's new ADL Enviro200 MMC AD21 DBL did indeed enter service on 1st March.
- Finally, out of London, Borderbus of Beccles, Suffolk, has ADL Enviro200 MMC YX21 RPO in dealer stock white for route 146 (Norwich-Beccles-Southwold).

Hopley's Coaches of Truro, Cornwall, have Optare Solo SR WK21 CKJ* for Transport for Cornwall work (they are a subcontractor). Here is a link to a photo (not mine) of the vehicle operating route 304 (Truro-Porthtowan): www.flickr.com/photos/183069820@N02/51045918733/in/pool-21_and_71_reg_buses_and_coaches* WK is one of two "West Country" registration area identifier codes which were allocated to Truro, presumably because the K stands for Kernow.

To kick off - BYD/ADL Enviro400EV City for HCT Group - these were ordered against the new contract for route 616 but will actually operate on route 20 2550e - LG21 HZM 2551e - LG21 HZN BYD/ADL Enviro200EV (9.7m B24D) for Go-Ahead London for route 484, new contract (from Abellio London) commencing 20th March SEe144 - LG21JBE SEe145 - LG21JBO SEe146 - LG21JBU SEe147 - LG21JBVSEe148 - LG21JBX SEe149 - LG21JBZ SEe150 - LG21JCJ SEe151 - LG21JCO SEe152 - LG21JCU SEe153 - LG21JCV SEe154 - LG21JCX SEe155 - LG21JCZ <snip> LOTS has confirmed that the first 21-registered bus to enter service on a TfL route was Go-Ahead's SEe147 (LG21 JBV) on route 484 on Saturday 20th March. Stagecoach's sole 21-plate (14129 - LG21 HZP) also entered service yesterday on route 173. The two HCT Group BYD/ADL400 are still awaited. EDIT: there is some uncertainty about this, as there are reports that Stagecoach 14129 was in service before 20th March but not showing on iBus.

EDIT: there is some uncertainty about this, as there are reports that Stagecoach 14129 was in service before 20th March but not showing on iBus. Very difficult to say it was actually in service if TfL systems weren’t showing it as in service. If it was operating in some form of stealth mode then not really part of the service. Buses out of service on the route don’t show up on I-bus either.
