I think some unusual workings may be in force on Thursday :)

If there are any spare Routemasters, Stagecoach will use them on the 158 so i understand with office staff as conductors.

 On my recent trip to London I saw a new ? LT171 in all over BLUE livery...is this the ONLY London Boris? in Blue or are there others? I took a photo of it opp Kings X station and sent it to tony.

@windy miller  LT171 is in an ad for Vita Coco.

Other buses are in a blue ad for Sunglasses Hut.

Thanks Stu... I presume the livery will return to normal in a few months time?

Last Wednesday when I was driving up to Dundee I past green LT2 heading south down the M6 in Lancashire, not sure where it was going, still has the original registration on as well at the moment

LT2 arrived back at Clapton garage yesterday. Rumour has it that both LT1 & 2 are to go to the  Wrightbus facility at Orpington, before a reported return to service.

TEH1224, the bus with e-ink displays, has been dubbed 'The Kindle Bus'... I know for certain there's photos about two pages before this post, but here's a demonstration video of the display changing... [Credit to Owner]

Now. I'm not saying it's horrendous, but it's pretty damn ugly! What happened, ADL? Aesthetically, the front looks almost identical to the E200, and the side too reminiscent of the "New Routemaster". Of course, I assume it's only a mockup image, I hope they can re-evaluate the design a bit, to make it appear more like the current E400MMC... At the front at least. It won't be a "London exclusive" vehicle will it? Like the Wrightbus "Routemaster"?
