That’s 2414 with the yellow stripes added that’s on the driver training runs now. 2408 has been in Eastleigh works for a couple of weeks now and still has no yellow stripes.- dan bennett

Southern 27-way is not the same as Blue star 27-way, so it’s definitely only 33/1s and 73s that can work with them- dan bennett
