Which garages are the semi-automatic enviro200s at? BC & TF - all the 64 reg examples at both garages should still have the ZF Tronic box Which batches would they be? AFAIK only the 201 uses those buses and I'm not sure where the rest are located.

At BC, the S4 uses 8.9m 64 reg examples, 201 & 130 uses 10.8m 64 reg examples (130 has a single one allocated). At TF, the only 64 reg examples are 10.8m ones allocated to the 490.

None of the MMCs have those gearboxes?

2438 has now been refurbished again with tomato refurb (no LEDs or extra spec tho) 2618 is also going through an electric conversion experiment with magtech, which will mean it will be back in service around september I'm suprised about 2438. Is it known what route it's for on paper for it to be treated again? 2618 is also interesting to know, it being numerically the newest MMC E40H

Ah ok! I didn't realise those routes were spec'd with the mk1s

They seem to be performing well. Not forgetting that Wrightbus NewPower are currently working on converting a number of First Group's buses. The plant has a capacity to convert 500 buses a year.

While there may be other examples in London, I noticed how route 207 - potentially the busiest Transport UK route - includes their oldest double-deckers, the classic former route C2 E400s.

2543 on 196 with LEDs. Not registered on LVF, and is sure to offend the font police.
