I should have posted here as well as in the Surrey thread, sorry… Falcon now have new long AD E200MMC YX73 PGY in stock - it’s at Byfleet being commissioned and I would imagine we’ll see it in service imminently. Entered service 13th December. It did indeed : I travelled on it on its first day out! No different to YX73 OTY. |

These three vehicles have been registered, which follow on from the Abellio/TUK 3038-3042 batch, as per BLOTW. Can anyone confirm if these are indeed a continuation of the Abellio batch, or possibly a start to the 279 or E2/E8 batches? These are definitely TfL spec vehicles, being H40/20D as opposed to H42/27F.
