What other garages are shortlisted? Guessing other garages with near new fleets Sutton has always been a wonder within GAL. It’s no surprise the 15 year old DOE are still fully functioning beasts. Any other garage, Go Ahead or not, they’d be scrap heaps by now. But they are still in excellent condition and that is largely down to a great maintenance team at Sutton.

Within GAL, AF are excellent as well. Along with LI, WJ and N imo at other operators

To be fair if thr 276’s BZL buses were meant to be subbed/off the road for faulty LED screens the 276 would barely have a bus service! 😨 I've been wondering if there's an issue with the actual instalation of the LED screens on that batch of BZLs. No idea who manufactured them (I known people have said who numerous times) but I can't think of any other LED displays, apart from some of the RATP, ones that have had so many issues. Likewise, I haven't seen any mention of issues with the Metroline BZLs. I wonder whether there are problems with linking the external LED displays with the latest variety of internal displays.

Do you know if Go-ahead seem to be having a LT swap merry go round again like before the 76 went to Arriva LT452,875 and 876 have transferred to Camberwell and LT49 has transferred to Northumberland Park.

This story is across all the main new websites so think they might have had some type of press briefing. There is still not solid confirmed date and I won't hold my breath on these buses entering service by the end of summer.

SW are not far behind, the early E’s were looked after well there unlike at PM

I had to let some WHV/MHV/Ee pass to get one last time but it’s always worth the wait.

Give me a 2011 Enviro400 or Gemini 2 over some horrific god awful StreetDeck any day
