1471 and 1473 were removed from the BusTimes listings yesterday. Reason quoted below (from vehicle history): It's also noted on the linked page that withdrawn-long-ago 1475 is a spare parts donor, leaving just two K8SR models (1472 / 1474) in service.

That really is saying something if they are not up to running school services!

Is SN65ZGO now a hybrid or is it still a virtually electric? Is it now a E40H?

The 10.3m BYD E400EV demonstrator has finally made it into TFL service and is currently on the 699.

View Attachmenthoto courtesy of Matthew Arnold on Twitter - one of 5 tri-axle Volvo B8L/MCV Evosetis due for Uno Hatfield route X10 from Hatfield to Luton. These have been allocated provisional registrations BV24 LUL / LUO / LUP / LUT / LUW - however they may not be registered until September (as their capacity will not be needed during the University Summer Recess) and may be given '74' registrations.

Their capacity will be needed on the 383😄 Only if we have a severe variant of Covid and have to start social distancing again! (for anyone wondering - their seating capacity is 98 - 60 upper deck and 38 lower deck - no idea how many of the latter are tip-ups, and how many standing passengers these are licensed to carry).

Uno - or rather, the University on their behalf - are conducting a tender exercise for 5 single-decker electrics. Probably the first batch of Herts' ZEBRA-subsidised 27.

Here's one that slipped through the net - last year on 28 November, 1472 was used on the X10, carrying passengers as far from typical TfL EV territory as Luton! ( Picture courtesy of leylandbus) On a related note, BV24LUO was registered on Wednesday and carries fleet number 202 (per BLOTW). I guess the B8Ls will be 201-205, then.

RATPs SDE20295 has been spotted in Uno’s yard at Hatfield, and from what I’ve heard it’s going to be numbered 606 and has had a full refurb.

Yes it will replace the aging bus that was first registered as SK07HLM when it first rolled off the production line in 2007, 17 years ago. And it delights me that it is finally being replaced and why didn’t it get the purple moquette like SN65ZGO?
