Any news of deliveries of the new Caetano electric single deckers? One of the Caetanos is now on their way to being delivered to WL, so far no decals or number plates as of yet - flic.kr/p/2iu2ga6 (Not my photo). Can’t wait to get a ride on one that bus has really really grown on me and I love the Abellio interior on the demonstrator.

I have loved Caetano ever since the Nimbus and i'm so happy Abellio are ordering from them again. Again? Abellio have never ordered from Caetano before. Abellio inherited the nimbuses from predecessor companies who ordered them, like the old B7TL Gemini 2’s. The Nimbuses were new to TGM when they had the 112 and 235, so technically this is the first time that Abellio are ordering Caetano buses

Indeed although you mean Gemini as the B7TL was only on the original Gemini body - the Gemini2 body started out on the B9TL & DB300

There was at least one at WL when I was working there last week. I had a look around and did my best not to touch it as I edged my MMC out!

A reliable source has said that the 415 buses will be based temporarily at Battersea to allow Walworth to store more of the new electric buses prior to the C10 conversion. It's been said that drivers will still sign on at Walworth but will collect/return buses to/from Battersea... similarly to Arriva's 157 arrangements between Norwood and Thornton Heath. This could perhaps mean that the odd swing door bus from the 24/27 may appear on the 415.
I've got a question by the way. How come the LTs on the 3 have visible running numbers yet not on the 159? I'm aware they're from different depots but I would have thought the same operation would be universal throughout Abellio London.

Where will the C10's MMCs be stored once the electrics are in service?
