Why aren't there any VHRs on the 125 i thought these would be staying on the route even once all the BCEs had been allocated to it as well? The VHRs will only be used in the peaks as a crosslink from the 698, same with the X140 ahh shame. |

Hopefully this means we'll still see them appearing on the 125 from time to time outside of peak hours as well. |

I'm pretty sure BT will send BCEs on other routes as they always do! |

LT135 has been spotted with camera mirrors, look like the ones previously used on LT43

I'm pretty sure BT will send BCEs on other routes as they always do! Wouldn't be surprised, as the 71 and H14 regularly see BCE strays. I wonder if any will go on the 142 before it is lost to Metroline? Perhaps at X too on the 23 etc, since some OMEs have been used on the 295? |

Fulwell had 6 extra BCEs for a while, which moved to 125 in last couple of weeks, now they are gone, I suspect usage on 71 will be very rare, even more so when the refurbished VHs are all available. |

Unless the BCEs from the 94 reduction go to FW. |

LT135 has been spotted with camera mirrors, look like the ones previously used on LT43 The housings covering the cameras are different, so perhaps a different manufacturer being tested? Just seen LT135 and I wonder whether it’s simply that the cowlings haven’t been fitted?? Perhaps equally interesting (at least to me) is that this bus hasn’t been refurbished yet. As to LT43’s missing CMS, perhaps someone did a sneaky swap at Camberwell Green when nobody was looking! |

Just saw one of X’s VMHs in Hounslow West going in the direction of WK I've seen many 18reg BEs and DEs from S running up the A4 near Henlys Roundabout which looked to be en route to WK. Are inspections or some other work carried out there? An hour later and I saw it speeding down Great West Road back towards Hammersmith. |

The junction of Harrow Road and Scrubs Lane resembled a busy terminus as I passed it today. There was 3 ADE/Hs parked at the Scrubs Lane stop (not in service). An ADE and VH parked at the Letchford Garden stand and 2 VHs on the 18 at the bus stop both waiting for a driver changeover.
