The 61reg B9TLs are for the 486 and school routes, and the 11reg are for the 51 The 51, 89 & 486 are a mix of everything at the garage. There are some ex Abellio vehicles that are in better condition than the Go Ahead & ex First buses. The mix may continue. Forgot to say that hybrids are being used on some of the school routes.

Not sure if it has been mentioned but EH39 was on the 78 around 4pm heading towards Liverpool Street at Tower Hill. Looked very nice and was all new logo's up. Are you sure it wasn't on the 42? 😉

The rest of the 39's SEe's, SEe323-SEe328 were registered on Friday: SEe323: LF24ZHL SEe324: LF24ZHM SEe325: LF24ZHN SEe326: LF24ZHO SEe327: LF24ZHP SEe328: LF24ZHR
Hopefully it won't be long now until the 439's batch are registered.

I agree with your last paragraph and i’d be very surprised if Arriva lost the route Agreed, I can't see Arriva losing it. They've run it very well so far I must add too, bar the ENXs which let the side down a tad. Nothing to do with if the route is well. If the price is right, then it can go to another operator if they could do it cheaper

Volvo demonstrator MVB1 was reported at the Album Bus Conference last week, the bus presently back with Volvo for ongoing bus event tours. Presumably the trials at Sutton are concluded as it's said to only have been for around five weeks

Personally I don’t see it happening. I also think GAL will stick to E400 City’s unless route cannot take them.

Just seen it, absolutely hideous, doesnt even look like a TFL compliant vehicle. I agree. I hope these really are a one off for London. Nothing to like about how they look.

Almost certainly a one-off. The whole charing fiasco will have been an embarrassment for those vehicles and as the years march on battery technology will catch up eventually for the longer routes
