So why do SLN's Streetdecks, GAL's WSDs and RTP's WH's have gold diamond for hybrids and SLN's E40D's super hybrids and AB's E40D's super hybrids have grey diamond for diesel power? I thought that StreetDecks and E40D super hybrids were both diesels with hybrid technology and had the same diamonds?

This has been discussed before but to recap: The Smart Hybrids are a 48v Hybrid tech system whereas the Micro Hybrids are 96v tech. Anything below 60v has the standard Diesel sticker due to being low voltage. Is that okay?

You are mistaken on that, for a Hybrid to be 'micro' it needs to be 48V or lower. 96V machines aren't micro and are your standard full Hybrids. Although not all 'full' Hybrids have the ability to move under their own electric power such as HEV96s.

Correct me if I am wrong but the Smarts are the ones with Ultracapacitors & a small electric motor? Many of my mates call them Mild Hybrid tech like a car.

The 44s buses are Micro Hybrids, they're 48V ones. Mild Hybrids seem to be used interchangeable with Micro Hybrid depending on the sources you look at. Smart Hybrids have two ultra capacitors on them which can store 48V. This is not enough to power a bus on its own, but can provide torque assistance and can power other appliances on the bus.

How many routes are allowed on Oxford Street? No limit really but I'd say 5 would be all TFL desire now. For a while it was going to be 4 but now the 94 cutback was formally cancelled leaving 5 along there.

Does anyone know the reason U3 has been using DE/DEL on Sundays?

I realised now with the job titles. I started off with being a cleaner. Now I see I am a conductor. Love it 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Can anyone else get the front page of Ian's Bus Stop to load? Does anyone get this? I’ve tried clearing out cookies and Cache but nothing.

It's been flaky for ages and seems to have gone offline altogether now. Perhaps he can't afford to keep it going. There is a lot of useful information on there although it does need a lot of updating as well. Such is the way with so many hobby sites - they start out well-intentioned but for one reason or another cannot sustain themselves. It would be good to have it back.

The actual pages for each type seems to work (I’ve only tried the RM, RT & T pages)

Riding a Scania SD on the route 100 from Redhill, the buses are very old so I wondered if they will be replaced anytime soon?
