8118-8121 are now untaxed, which perhaps suggests that they have returned to the leasing company?

8328 went on the 464 today, what was even more interesting was how it came on directly off the 130, a crosslink which has probably never been used before

I was hoping Abellio might bid route 183 before last year's tender result, which showed this route will be retained by RATP with new electrics. In terms of where this route operates, would it be too far away for Abellio?

In terms of where this route operates, would it be too far away for Abellio? Abellio don’t have any garages near the 183. The closest is Hayes which is 14 miles from the Route, not to say it wouldn’t work because garages have been running routes from long distances for a while now. If the 183 was to change operator I would expect it to go to Metroline. Route 112 was probably the closest route they ran near that area Brent Cross however now the route goes to North Finchley.

Their Southall garage is closer, only about 8 miles on the fastest route to Pinner. Still probably too far to launch a credible bid on the 183.

I would say they have better chance with the 483.

I wonder if the U5 will be an add on order for more City's that will have that higher spec that the ones on the 63 are getting?

Is it just me, or do any of you think about the red seats on Abellio London buses when eating strawberry flavoured sweets such as red wine gums?

Have any single deck school extras at BC been withdrawn recently as 8326 and 8328 have returned to WL this week?

According to this month's LOTS publication E40D's 9456, 9457, 9458, 9459 and 9460 are on short-term loans to RATP.
