LT313 is also on loan at the moment.

TFL is currently seeking funding for another 200 LTs to be ordered.

453 is the latest service to be converted with the 137 due before Xmas.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

I'm hoping to go down to London to see my younger brother at the end of this month, and would like to take a trip on one of these 'Borismaster' NBFLs if I can. Any routes going over Hackney way that use them yet?

My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

They don't seem to be doing too well that the moment with one running at least 20 minutes late

They are now both restricted to duplicate runs.

Don't think they will last very long? Have they specially employed conbductors for the tests or do conductors operate on that route anyway?

Conductors have always operated on the 73. Currently it is Monday-Saturday daytime, Friday & Saturday evening & selected busy Sunday journeys
