As we are now just two weeks away from the start of 71 registrations on 1st September 2021, this thread is for reports of buses and coaches carrying the new 71 plates.
It seems that Arriva London's EAs (BYD/ADL E400EV City electrics) for route 319, already in the course of delivery, will not be registered until after 31st August and these may well be the first 71-plates to operate in service in London.

What about RATP buses for the 65/281/371 and 49/X140? May these be the 71 plates that enter operation first as some will definitely be registered after 31/08?

Indeed, I believe LOTS said that the EA’s will definitely be 71 plates, would explain probably why only the demo has been spotted out and about on driver training

Should know by Wednesday which of RATP new electric buses are going to receive 71-reg plates
Tuesday 31st is last day that a 21-reg can be done and taxed, and basically anything that isn’t done will get the new plates. Haven’t checked, but unless there is sudden spurt in August registrations might be only 13 got 21-reg, therefore 180+ buses likely to get 71-reg

registrations aren't known yet but Southdown Buses have 2 Enviro 200MMCs on order arriving in October, directly replacing SN53LWL and V380SVV. No idea on the different lengths of the Enviro 200MMC but presumably they'll both be "full length" versions instead of the 3 mini ones they have in the fleet currently given what they'll be replacing.

The Southdown website's fleet list lists two Enviro MMCs "in build" as fleet numbers 118/119 and 8.9m in length. www.southdown.net/fleet-list

The Delaine of Bourne, Lincolnshire, has done it again - AD71 DBL, a ADL Enviro200 MMC, entered service on the first day of the new age identifier, 1st September. The article below has photos, and there are strong hints that a fourth Enviro200 with a 22-registration will hit the roads on 1st March 2022. www.focustransport.org/2021/09/delaine-buses-continues-tradition-with.html
