New pictures of Wrightbus' first complete Streetdeck for the 111. They look good, I’m sure many will be happy about the glass pillars in the corner after much frustration.

A BC driver informed me that work has started on installing the chargers for the 433s new buses. Nice to see some progress after a slight delay. I reckon these will be 72 plate as highly unlikely they will be built and they’ve only started with the chargers. More likely September when they might enter service

Apparently Abellio, at their own cost, also provided new cycle lanes, paths and a shelter at an adjacent bus stop to support the application.

It’s down first right turn as you head along Swallofield Way. Not as far down as Metrolines’s HZ Depot. Doesn’t seem all that big either, then again, WS wasn’t exactly big.

If they were to supply a bus shelter, I’d imagine it’d be for the benefit of their 350 drivers, so they don’t get wet whilst waiting to take over a vehicle should it be raining…

It's a shame these don't have the new iBus system the new E400's have though.

The H28 has moved to GW. 8524, 8570, 8583-91 seem to have moved, 8526 seems to have remained at TF. Any ideas as to why, perhaps for electrification works at TF? Could be as the 3 (or 415) allocation had temporarily moved to QB partially in relation to modifications works at WL.

Very interesting to see how those awful slow as hell enviros made it up the steep hilly nature of 464.
