QB i thought that it would have gone to TF. It will need to be QB initially, replacing route 196. Maybe in the medium term it could move to TF if work is lost there and Transport-UK see other potential gains nearer QB? Mind you, while RATP are not really in looking at new gains for now TF might not lose much if any work.

Spotted 2531 and 2533 newly refurbished whilst in Southall earlier, are these now part of the 427's allocation? On a side note, I do find it rather funny that 2515-2522 and 2532/2533, the 415's original batch are now in West London whilst 2525-2531 which were originally West London buses (new to the 350) are now based at QB and appearing on the 415 amongst many other routes. Does make me wonder why they didn't stay put in the first place even if the 415 converted to New Routemasters.

The 207 was their new home after Abellio won the route alongside the 12 reg diesels and the 5 new smart MMC's ordered for the route. I was under the impression that 2531 is a 427 vehicle but 2533 alongside 2532 are still 207 vehicles but guess not if it's been refurbished.

Is there anyone who can tell me, who's connected at BC, as to why when 2500 runs as a 109 it has white blinds and when its a 407 the blinds are dayglo. It's the same situation on the front, side and rear blinds. The bus does occasionally run on the 270 but I've never seen it on that route so I don't know if the blinds would be white or yellow! Exhibit A on the 407...... Exhibit B in next post...! Attachments:![](//storage.proboards.com/431515/thumbnailer/zTqPZsPZrdNLvQMhwgaP.png)

Exhibit A on the 407...... Exhibit B in next post...! There are quite a few hybrids on 109 which are re-using the old blinds from 157's ex-Volvos. Those buses had received inserts for N109 and 109 when BC first started operating them in 2015. The inserts for 270 on that same blind will be in white-on-black and also the new Johnston font since this began operation out of BC in 2020.
