1020 and 1021e have moved to GW and are finally on the E5 Fantastic, how promising. Add 1016 to that too.

Seems 2612 is the TF bus for the 670.

Hopefully that means we’ll see the E7 convert soon as well I expect the E7 to convert at least partially from the 29th as the 16regs are needed for the 465. Spare 12 regs at GW can be used as an interim part allocation. Doubt we will see a full conversion until the R70 receives its own electrics due to the fact that a few 67 regs are away acting as refurb floats for the 195 batch. The electrics are covering for those buses. Btw; 2612 went to QB after doing the 670 morning journey. Maybe this is the plan for the bus to be parked at QB until the afternoon journey. bustimes.org/vehicles/ablo-sn18klc?date=2024-06-10#journeys/590009022

Could also be a trial from TfL to help retrofit some Hybrids that are still in service that may be older, as there are too many issues with blindless buses in service as McKenna are making a limited amount of the traditional blinds. Would love to see Arriva put some of these similar units in their hybrids too. There are too many 'bandit' buses with paper sheets, (see 262 and 473) LED blinds get rid of this issue for buses changing garages Saw a retrofitted MMC on the 344 yesterday UK Transport Abellio London QB E400H have LEDs blinds on 156 2447 is the only non MMC E40H so far fitted that I'm aware of, done back in 2022 for the Euro Bus Expo Birmingham NEC event. As one of the showbuses it also has the new spec vynil flooring that's used on electrics

Apparently the 670 is being operated from QB not TF.

Apparently the 670 is being operated from QB not TF. The schedule that’s been uploaded by TFL confirms that it is indeed running from QB with 2482 on it this morning. Seemed a bit ludicrous running it out of TF imo!

May've been either a typo error or a last minute change of depot, the latter which happened with the 270 which was destined to be QB based then changed to BC weeks before start of contract.

Indeed it was in one of their news updates on the site. Like I’ve said many times LOTS don’t always get their information correct.
