It was an interesting choice when Abellio ordered these Cataneo's instead of ADL, must say Cataneo's design is eh unusual, especially compared to the Nimbus. Hydrogen and electric first seem equal but then the charaging is so efficient this is what could boost Hydrogen technology among operators.

If anyone is interested, can confirm that 8037 is still at Putney Bridge as the meal relief bus, hasn't gone anywhere yet

At the beginning of last year I would either see this, BU05HDY or BX54DMZ on the 481. When the first lockdown finished Abellio loaned some SK07 RATP DEs to replace them. Do you have any pictures of 8037? Last I saw of BX54DMZ was when it was parked up at Bedfont Green... has since disappeared.

Do you have any pictures of 8037? The Darts were withdrawn as a result of the K1 being lost - nothing replaced them. The 07 reg DE's were for school extras

Do you have any pictures of 8037? That isn't true. The Abellio darts were removed from service as they couldn't be made "COVID safe" easily and given how little time they had left in service, it wasn't worth the effort. The RATP DEs that were loaned were to cover V extras. LU still had Abellio's 13 regs in use on the K1.

Been a while since I've been out to see LT37, and the last time I did, this sticker was still like this: I wonder if this is still the case Just looks extremely unprofessional on abellio's part, particularly as its been over a year with no proper stickers anywhere

May be tell the driver so he can tell the garage manager (add the legality of it!)

Tried to tell an Arriva driver that the little sticker stating the buses registration on the TfL notice was incorrect and that that registration didn't exist, but I was told that it wasn't their problem. (Yes, I'm aware that that sticker may not be a legal requirement but I imagine the same thing would've happened if it was something legal wise)

But in the drivers defense it is not their job to monitor stickers though.

Regardless of whether it's their job it's something that they should be concerned about and something that a half decent union rep should be onto.

Who are you meant to tell if the driver won't listen/report it and you don't have any inside contact with the garage. I doubt many people will email/phone the main company/TfL customer service desk as that will take time and you have to provide so much details.

Saw 1 E400 trainer around Chelsea and 2 in a row at Earl's Court earlier today. Tried to get the fleetcodes but light had just turned green so I had to go
