1873 - PB101

I've attached the photo link as a hyperlink; according to bustimes, it's been out all day

Not particularly related to NXWM, but saves from starting another thread;

The Caetano H2.City Gold demonstrator (previously carrying Portuguese registration AD45LZ) has been registered in the UK as FJ70 GYD. Looks like it's currently with Stagecoach in Inverness.

Thanks. And H1001-20?

Indeed - by the looks of it :)

Are there many vehicles in the current fleet with bonded glazing, apart from coaches? Most seem to have gasket glazing or the flush glazing system on E200 MMCs and E400mmcs.

1833 going out today

1833 back from paint

I was driving along Great King Street North yesterday and noticed 1822 passing in the opposite direction on the 8C - skipping New John Street West & Hockley Circus

I'm chalking it up to the queue for the Texaco that lies on the island, but I suppose it could be for a different reason.. Driving past the petrol station, I saw 1827 in it(!) - although bustimes suggests it was just there to turn around, rather than to fuel up 😂

   I notice that the new Hydrogen series all appear to have no clearly
  visible fleet numbers ?  at least not in the usual positions?  is there a
  any particular reason ?   thanks.

Haven't been applied yet, presumably

Didn't see any D&G or Midland Classic vehicles, yet coaches from as far away as Swansea.

Midland Classic had their 10, 14, 15, 22, 24 out throughout the day

Belfast too, with their BRT system. Leicester had some until fairly recently, but I believe they've been withdrawn at this point.

re: Leicester

The Arriva fleet changes on the main site shows that 5001/6/7 have been reinstated at EMA, and 5003 reinstated at Thurmaston back in June. I'm unsure if anything has changed since then, but they don't appear to be listed, let alone track, on bustimes!

(Unless, of course, that's what you had been referring to!) :P
