4493 on the 101 is not noteworthy, but has it had LEDs fitted?

I understand that it's not noteworthy, I know it's the usual allocation, alongisde the ALX400 Volvo B7TLs, but it stikes me to see them with LEDs in person, that's all! :)

One of the unbranded Enviro200s is also on the X64 this afternoon, saw it on my last trip from City around 2.30pm

One of 808 or 809 was going along Wheeleys Road, Not in Service at around 1.15pm, looked like it was on driver familiarisation or something like that.

The Enviro on the 22/23 is 4903.

Tridents are becoming increasingly uncommon on the 22/23 with most boards Hybrid operated rather than them being split between the 22/23/24.

Hybrid are becoming more uncommon on the 24. Its mainly a mix of mostly tridents to at least 1 or 2 E400s a day, now... Today 4905 was on the 24.

Well in reality the 24 can have any Hybrids/E400's/Tridents/B7RLE's of which are left over from their original allocation. So really some days/weeks the 24 wont see Hybrids.

What I'm saying is, the only Noteworthy workings on the 24 are E200's! The rest is the standard.

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.
