They're definately bonded glazing. I'd put £100 on that one ;D Ok, thanks for clearing that one up Any news on LG's upcoming Trident/Olympus? Sutton routes 93/151/154 are due to obtain these vehicles this coming Saturday and nothing has been mentioned of them. I wonder if Optare have even begun building them. First one not due until Jan.

I doubt Optare's that far behind where they've yet to build them.

One decker has already been delivered according to someone who passed Sutton Garage the other day, not sure if its a DOE or SOE.

VJ, DOEs are the double deckers and SOEs single deckers.

I don't know about the MAN/E200 on the 202s but from what I hear, the 202 is extremely busy with double decks. If the route is extremely busy with DDs why don't they stick with it or has TFL got something to do with it?

Any news on the MAN/E200s? They still haven't arrived so maybe this Sunday 461 will be back out on the T32 ;D.

I saw a vehicle on the 405 today which looked like an SP/15xxx, no idea of reg or fleetnumber I'm afraid.

If the route is extremely busy with DDs why don't they stick with it or has TFL got something to do with it? I agree with the 202 being extremely busy with double decks, especially during peak times. The actual reason why DD's were not previously used on the route (when with Selkent), is because they were deemed unsuitable due to low trees along Wells Park Road, in Upper Sydenham. Now that the trees have been given the needed attention and DD's run alongside the Darts, they might as well double deck the whole route, like what Arriva did with the 319 and Metrobus with the 405, as they run perfectly with no issues. The MAN/MCV's can then be used to replace the V-reg Darts. There are currently eleven of these at Croydon garage and IIRC, there are sixteen MAN/MCV's on order.
