First of Lothians ex-London B9TLs (fleet number 1001) entered with a new LXZ-registration plate. Only seen photos on the Edinburgh Buses Facebook group but it looks absolutely fantastic- interestingly it's been fitted with a full width window upstairs at the back with seating going all the way to the rear of the upper deck (I can't think of a better way to explain it 🤔)

Ex Metroline (First) VW 1851 now with London City Tour Saw another one today, VW1846. All the ex-First buses seem to have retained their fleetnumbers and First staircase logos It’s very rare for any operator to remove the logo on the staircase glass unless that piece of glass requires replacement. That’s why probably all the Tridents with Abellio still had the original Connex or Armchair logo depending on the batch. |

As an example, the PVLs at A all had the London Central "ship" logo from when they used operate out of PM for the 36 Another easy way though not entirely definitive as you can tell what PVL & WVL was ordered originally by the two original divisions by their gearbox - London General always received Voith PVL's & WVL's whilst London Central always received ZF PVL's & WVL's. However, there are a couple of exceptions - the private hire PVL's that were brought new for this role were ZF despite being for London General, PVL355 for London General was on ZF whilst London Central received PVL356-370 which were Voith boxed PVL's and were split between Q & BX. |
