I believe WHV1 (usually on the 12) has the enhanced I-Bus display. DW515 usually on the 141 has the "spare seats" display. I've seen that bus near Bank. No idea about which buses have wifi on them as a result of a TfL trial. Metroline put wifi on two low numbered LTs but I've no idea if it still works or not. No idea about a RV1 bus receiving fancy technology. |

I've heard that more LTs have been fitted with WiFi, however I don't know if it's the next stage in the trial or if TFL are rolling WiFi out now, starting with LTs. |

LT345 is one of the buses with free Wifi, identified by a message on the iBus screen stating 'Free Wifi on this bus' (replacing the clock). The Wifi was provided by Magnum.

LT271 now has free WiFi, perhaps TfL is starting to roll it out on LTs? But like LT345 it was a Magnum bus so it could be another trial bus.

Definitely about time TFL added WiFi to buses, I hope they'll plug sockets too, they'd be used all the time. Thanks for the responces!

Interesting, I wonder how this will work when they have to fit it to buses which have the CCTV screen under the lower deck Ibus screen as by the time people notice that theyd have walked past the stairs.

I suppose they could fit it to the staircase wall and leave the CCTV screen. I'm happy as it means I'll have an excuse to try this technology out seeing as it's on a local route of mine lol. |

Perhaps the seat availability status could also be incorporated into the ibus preset message, thus including audio notifications.
Eg. "There are presently 8 seats available on the upper deck"

Not sure if this counts as a modification, but TfL are looking into making a two doored LT based on the Volvo B5LH chassis (mentioned in latest Buses mag)  |

What goes around comes around View AttachmentIf only Voith gearbox, good performance (the fact that V1, A101SUU, can go up to Yorkshire or Scotland and put in a hard days work on hilly terrain, and still perform like it's new shows how good it is)... At least the B5LH finally gives the LT a decent engine and drive train  |
