Just seen this.
I love the headline "tfl INSTANTLY removes", they were asked by the manufacturer to take them off the road, would anyone in their right mind go against that advice.

Thankfully most routes are now running some sort of service with presunmably spare buses that have been found.

Had it confirmed that the buses which perished in Potters Bar last weekend are as follows

VW1200/1836.
TE1083/1426.
OME2660/2670. 

Of interest is that many of the Metrodeckers are back in use.

Quote from: Tony on March 25, 2022, 07:21:38 PMThe only FXT 1xx listed in the PSV Circle preserved book is FXT 183 (RT8)

Just gone past it again (at 140 mph!!) - definitely FXT 183 (RT8). Front is now covered with a tarpaulin but before it was, it looked like it had suffered an engine fire which had affected part of the bodywork near the front (second bay).

It is actually RT4686 NXP971 done up as RT8 for a film that required a vintage bus to be blown up apparently,  hence the damage. There are various pictures online if you google NXP971,RT4686 or RT8 replica.

Phew that's a relief - they should have given it a different number to avoid worries!! Blowing up any RT is a bit worrying though, as is wrecking any classic or vintage vehicle  :embarrassed:

News announced this week is that routes 9 and N9 are to be operated by Metroline from early 2024. They will run from the Armchair garage in Brentford and both contracts are for five years.
