I saw it parked up at the East Kent railway. What was the last PVL in London and what route(s) did it last go on? My farthest memory is of the AL ones in 2018 PVL284 it was at BX and got withdrawn in 2019 its last route it did was the 132

I think it looks quite interesting. Also it keeps an old bus on the road being retrofitted, and I maintain profusely it’s far better for the environment than throwing it away and replacing it with a new one which will do well to last barely 15 years. I have to be honest I thought it was a Hong Kong E500 bought here and converted for UK use 😂 but I like it 😂 And yes the G1 Pulsar that got converted to look like a G2 was done by Reading buses wasn’t it? They tend to do very thorough refurbishments when they acquire used stock I'm not sure the bus would of been in danger of being withdrawn because of the front panel - if I had to guess, they may of had a Enviro 400 front spare and decided to use that rather than source an ALX400 front though they shouldn't be hard to find in scrapyards.

LT311 went out on the 115 today for a bit fully blinded. Could be a conversion one day?

If a full conversion of the 5 happens soon then the current EHs could go to the 368.

How long have the Merc Citaro's got left on the 108? Until the end of the current tender in 2023. Suppose route 507 SEe's are not needed once the route 11/507 changes happen, I wonder whether these could move to route 108?

They could move here but then they is always a chance the route is lost on tender so would GAL will installing charging infrastructure? I imagine if the buses become spare they would be used elsewhere on a new tender award?
