I noticed some differences in unlaiden weight on some of the vehicles. 11155kg on some 11265kg on others. Anyone know why the extra weight on some? Are weight saving measures an ongoing development in manufacture?

What about just the number of buses per routes? I worked out the 29 is 6 buses usually 5 SD and 1 DD.

Some of the X51 were just showing the route number. A couple I saw had the full display at the rear.

Saw 6721 with just 997 on back. Full destinations seen for all routes.
