Great news. Tp1510 is back in action and in London? Where did u get the info from or did u see it? Tp1510 is one of my favourite TPs. But with the LEZ, will it be there for a long time. Well it's not compliant is it?

Well it's not compliant is it? All the tour companies fleet have to at least meet Euro IV emissions at present as most, if not all, of the older vehicles have been fitted with modern engines to comply. |

Their garage is at Falcon Court, St. Martins Way just off Garrett Lane and the head office is on Buckingham Palace Road. |

It's was at the Westbourne Park running day & I think the 'Londoner' event as well - shame it's being locked away. |

Just spent couple of days in Washington DC and big bus tours have some of the ex London sightseeing buses (originally in Hong Kong ?) even saw a couple still with a yellow G prefix reg plate on back. The double middle doors have been moved to the other side, but they are still right hand drive. The Big bus fleet in New York is a mix of ADL enviro 500 and Ankai. Some are enviro400s. The environs are fully open, the others part open |

This was at Londoner Live: flic.kr/p/wK7Uvh - Photo credit to Alex Campbell MA1, which started the big bus to small bus movement in London. I imagine these were ten times as worse as the Darts that replaced them a couple years later. |
