From London bus net (londonbusroutes.net), route SL9. The same site on the service changes page shows the 698 crosslink is being removed, does this mean something? Or is it just to ensure a non Superloop branded bus goes on it?

Is that Electroliner demo LY71GJE? I can’t see it going to TfL operations as I think Wrightbus built two demos. This one, and LY71GHZ (the one that is built to TfL spec)
Reading Buses sent their Enviro 400 City 732 (GL23LDN), Stagecoach sent 11377 (Spirit of London II) [London] and 15089 (not sure which subsidiary this one is operated by since withdrawal from London service)
Abellio London sent Pride BYD/ ADL Enviro400 EV 3406 and LT999 to the event, and within...
The new MCV EvoRa info:
I am pretty sure that its from a dealer order, and according to BLOTW (buslistsontheweb.co.uk), it carries fleet number 12, and the registration is BV23NVH.
What else is there today? For those of you wondering, GAL did there preparations at Camberwell.
PS: if you click on the link and look closely on the last image a new Ee is there

A further 34 hydrogen buses have been ordered, which are:
23 Wrightbus GB Kite Hydroliners (Presumably going to be 6071-93)
11 Wrightbus StreetDeck Hydroliners
These are due next year, and will be used on:
100 (Redhill - Horley - Gatwick Airport - Crawley - Three Bridges - Maidenbower)
420/820...
Summing up your first paragraph:
Most of there buses do seem to be diesel, they get just electrics currently for their London operations as the requirements set by TfL, seemingly more recent non London batches are ADL Enviro200/400 MMCs, and Merseyside have gained the 10 E400 FCEVs. Electric...
Just one more left, this one taken from BLOTW (buslistsontheweb.co.uk) as usual:
ES049 - LV23ZCY

New kit Ee192 reported at Q with registration LB23PGE. However, it is likely it is going to be replaced by a 73 plate as that plate is not registered as of yet. Is this the first of the...
The chargers at Camberwell for 40 and 185 done

‘In advance of new e-buses being introduced at Camberwell Garage on Routes 40 and 185 over the coming months, we continue to make good progress installing the...
Anyone know what is being represented by various operators this year? I heard on X that Go Ahead London is using RML2318, but not an electric bus. EP1 was there last year.

I think Hants & Dorset are busier with the New Routemaster refurbs, other companies such as Thornton Brothers seem to be doing the conventional Metroline buses

Extras have started going on it, WVL492 - X26. According to LVF (lvf.io) it’s interestingly listed as withdrawn - disregard...
Todays tenders look interesting, my opinion is mainly routes W7 and W8. Both are being electrified as expected. If Alexander Dennis order logbook for orders drop significantly it could get BDEs for common fleet with 17 and 43. For W8, to keep a native common fleet at PB, they could go with...
I wouldn’t be surprised if DB end up getting rid of Arriva sooner if they don’t fill in more accounts.
I believe there is a value to the fleet, including the batch of very expensive 10 Enviro400 FCEVs. I personally think that it might mean writing off the value means ordering new buses might...
With today being a Sunday, as I post this route 433 is full e.City Gold. First time this has happened so far (at least its not 322 situation) and never be full EV despite it being officially allocated
The redesign of West Croydon Bus Station must be the reason why TA1 was used on route 12 instead of X68.
It’s definitely from route 101, I have seen an image of WVL493 with branding getting applied:
not my picture, I got sent this on Discord (discord.gg)...
I can see the operator that wins it ordering electrics against the contract on a hybrid route to release them to SL7 since I don’t know what electric could do it, and hydrogen will have a lot of problems
Another Scania going to Cardiff single doored, this one is ex RATP Dev SP40120
