The green is genuine, but it could also be the base for an advert, like the black adidas ones

Good to see LT 2 back in the country, was last used in London on 19/02/13.

Will be interesting to see which company it goes back to, was an Arriva bus before it left.

I thought the 'Borismasters' were exclusively for use in London, thus other operators round the country couldn't have them?

Thats right!

I should have said which other London bus company will get LT2 when it returns to London.

The last list I saw said it was due to return to Arriva for the 38

I did wonder as Ash Grove have just LT 4, 5, 6 & 7 for the 38 which are quite often all used, so an extra LT or 2 would be useful.

Hey guys

Was with work and we drive past the First Bus garage in Hunslet and driving round the yard was what looked like a green Boris bus (no idea what they're actually called). Anybody got anymore info on this?

Cheers

Update on this bus: Seems they've adhered vinyls & logos to it!

What I don't think First understand, is that the trolleybus up Headingley Lane is proposed because of lack of current road space. Not the quality of the vehicles - most of us are students and don't really care about what we're travelling on, how can these magic green buses cut through the traffic on existing infrastructure? Even for extensions across the city - the same thing. We have plenty of new buses up here, it's the infrastructure we need, not new buses.

Well, you know. It's clearly a 'game' (if you will) of whether this'll work or not. If so, then Borismasters for Leeds. If not, then it's a continuation of the trolleybus scheme. Someone correct me.

They are not the latest pictures. It is 6 months evaluation with First in Leeds.
