1338 is indeed refurbished,, it did caught stuck at ADL Harlow after they closed the workshop for over two months, it does look that its been completed so 1338 should be back on the road soon. Oh alright thank you for this. Have all the other buses for the W19 (former tower transit buses) been refurbished yet? Yes they have with 1338 being the last one to do so and by the way those 11 reg E200's are actually ex Metroline buses

Not sure if it's the case for all the YX19 cities, but saw ORZ on the 20 to W'stow Central this evening passing me, and noticed that both the beginning of the W and half the 0 are not visible, due to being too large for the display screen?! I reckon this isn't something HCT are in a hurry to fix, but is a little bit shoddy for buses which just appeared a year ago. Don't think their SN16/66 sisters face this issue when displaying the 26 or 388... or even once up at AW for the 20?

They may have received replacement glass over the blind display that was "pre-masked" for provincial fleets. Happens quite often to all operators in London, not shoddy at all.

I mean it’s subjective as to whether one perceives it to be a nuisance or not. The average person probably won’t The only other examples I can think of are the LJ56s on the 285 and some WH E200s. But they’re all 10+ years old and/or temporary.

But they’re all 10+ years old and/or temporary. would be the same thing- replacement glass (replacing glass that has cracked or smashed) fitted by a contractor. Remember, glass can be smashed no matter how old it is One example: Unos first branded vehicle for the 383, only due to the provincial style glass put on the front blind display. The bus was an 38 going to oodside Park

Spotted today at 1100 passing Highgate Station in direction of Archway (HT?). The few passengers looked like managers rather than drivers.

Any reason it’s going to HT?

Any reason it’s going to HT? loads of reasons why it could be going over- might be being used for route surveys for new tenders, to allow any modifications that need to be made to the BDEs, to trial the blind technology...

BDE2616 has not been used since 14th June, could this be away for work under warranty and the demo is there as cover. Especially now full service is being returned.

Does anyone know why 2611 has its lower deck rear window blacked out.

So does 2601 belong to HCT Group and is on loan to Metroline or is it a demonstrator?

Sorry to ask a silly question but does AW now have a charging facility?
