278 and U5 finally move to DH at the end of this week.

It would appear the 322's Metrocities will have emergency exits on both the nearside and offside of the bus. Tweet shows first photo (offside) with an emergency exit label, and second photo (nearside) shows emergency door

Not the best wording, but probably meant newly won from GAL this year |

Seen earlier today heading south on Grosvenor Place towards Victoria with "Alexander Dennis" blinds was 3435, one of the next batch of Enviro 400 City EVs for Abellio - does anyone know when the U5 goes electric? (Coincidentally I had a ride on 2525 on the U5 earlier in the day).

(Coincidentally I had a ride on 2525 on the U5 earlier in the day). There’s rumours it might begin to convert when it moves into Dawley Road on Saturday |

According to LOTS the transfer of the U5 to DH has been delayed until the electrics are ready.

How come the 267 isn’t on the MMC’s blinds despite being at the same garage as the 285?
Or it might be, but I would highly doubt that since abellio has impressingly had a 100% allocation since it’s takeover.

Not every LT route ends up on conventional bus blinds - IIRC, the MMC’s at QB don’t have any of the LT routes on the blinds apart from the 415 due to it originally being a MMC allocated route whilst the old body Enviros should only have the 3, 415 & N3 included IIRC |

As the 285 is the only DD conventional route at TF, it actually uses a GW/WS blind set. It will have the likes of the 427, 482, 207 etc on it. |
