Hi Vjaska, DLA389 was the only one with a cctv screen on the front window, do you remember that? That was a crystal eys screen - the idea was to play adverts to you whilst you were trying to enjoy your journey ... thankfully they never caught on and most of the buses that had them quickly became CCTV vehicles How comes the 137's DWs (DW55-DW93) still have them, non-functional? Except DW76's upstairs screen, which was stolen.  HI Vjaska, Regarding the DLA refurbisments or lack of, these ones have not been done. 324,334,340,389, all spotted on the 109 or 159 today & another one just spotted in brixton today. You won't find DLA389 on route 109 or 159 nowadays...  |

Hi Vjaska, DLA389 was the only one with a cctv screen on the front window, do you remember that? Oh I know the actual bus as it also a Euro II engine grill on the right hand side instead of the Euro III grill, still could of sworn I saw it with white logos in 2010 |

Can confirm that it has white logos. Not sure if it is refurbished though, didn't get to have a proper look. |

GAL's PVL155 hasn't been out for twelve days which is rather a lot given that the fleet availability, from an outsider's perspective, seems pretty d*mn good for those older PVLs drafted in from AL.

Go-Ahead's E73 returned to the road today after a month off. E26/68/74/75/78/79 are still off the road. E68 disappeared in November! PVL396 is also off the road. I don't know why the others are off the road - possibly refurbishment. The only one I can confirm as undergoing refurbishment is E75 which I've seen a photo of at the Trim. E26 was back on the 37 in an unrefurbed state so I was right in thinking it was just missing for mechanical reasons. |

That was a crystal eys screen - the idea was to play adverts to you whilst you were trying to enjoy your journey ... thankfully they never caught on and most of the buses that had them quickly became CCTV vehicles I found it a waste that most buses that had them is that when became dead after iBus came along, they were literally blank. (although I seem to recall a VNW having an on screen, blank white prior to refurb in 2011) The last time I saw working CrystalEyes is 2006-ish in London and February 2008 in Birmingham (it was dead litteraly months later). On the 390s they'd give 'brain teasers'. Wonder what happened to CrystalEyes...  |
