@Eric Shaw, pretty sure a BC Trident on a BC Trident operated route isn't rare...

4575 had already been transferred from YW to BC prior to Tony posting the transfer update on the 7th September... Did note 4572 and 4575 was working the 97 and 45/47 on the 3rd September respectively. Just surprised their transfers wasn't mentioned earlier.

Can assure you that both 4572/4575 transferred to BC before the 7th September.

Saw one of central vehicles in lea village pulled up in the centre of the road with the engine cover hanging off, I am guessing it is related to the stabbing in lea village earlier. Any ideas on fleet number?

One of the BC tridents broke down on the 822 literally only after leaving the stop.

It's tracking perfectly at this end, so the problem appears to be somewhere other than the bus.

Do the X1 and X2 interwork? Because I've seen X1 branded buses in the X2 and vice versa.

Yes. It's on an X1 running board.

I believe at certain times of the day some journeys do interwork, but not all of them, usually in the peaks. From memory most interworking occurs on a Sunday, but I haven't used those services for a year myself, so things may have changed.
