Are the ex-C3's OMEs still in storage? I don't think they ever were in storage? I believe they were used to fully convert the 28 whilst it was still at London Transit?

Having them allocated to a route probably means that benefits from electric operation can also be felt economically. I think they might be involved in some bids for some new contracts, but probably not successful as of yet.

On VMH45335 and the ibus is announcing “Y13 to Victoria”. Blinds show thee regular 13 Doing a quick search on LVF, route 13 doesn’t appear to exist but Y13 does… What is Y13? Is it a Carnival route? It’s the normal 13 but running to a special carnival timetable as there’s no access to X

It’s the normal 13 but running to a special carnival timetable as there’s no access to X what’s happening in general? I’ve seen the 28 and 70 at White City which makes sense if they used the 49/C1 routing. Was surprised though that the 28 didn’t continue further through Wood Lane? Also Citymapper registers a 7X bus but it looks the exact same as the 7 with its diverted routing. Also what’s happened to the 2X?

Also what’s happened to the 2X? 7X runs between East Acton, Brunel Road and Paddington Station serving all route 7 stops between East Acton and Latymer Upper School Playing Fields before running express to Paddington Station calling only at White City Station, Shepherd's Bush Bus Interchange, Holland Park Station, Notting Hill Gate Station, Lancaster Gate Station and Paddington Station. Route 7 is serving all stops along the diversion. There wasn’t any plan to run 2X this year

It was rumoured that they may have been used on the 6, which got a second bid which would likely have been out of X. 31 is probably their next opportunity for use.

Route 7 is serving all stops along the diversion. There wasn’t any plan to run 2X this year I got on a 7 at Notting Hill Gate this afternoon after attending the carnival and it's basically just stopping at the larger stops along Bayswater Road like how the 7X does until Paddington, but continued to Oxford Circus of course. Not sure if it should in fact be stopping at more stops, but at least it's how the iBus suggested and no one got off except near the tube stations anyway.

Do garage codes on the side of buses get changed when they transfer?
