It will hopefully be on the main site by the end of the week,  I'm working on it at the moment hence no other updates for two nights

will look out for it
The base of it is there now in the ' First' section, just needs tidying up

That must have taken up a fair amount of your time, well done.

I notice someone is altering all the fleet numbers on Bustimes now referencing this fleet list, which is a bit daft as they don't carry them yet. Hence why I am still leaving them in the RATP order for the time being

Mayfield

I've been London today and noticed a few had First fleet numbers

Tony

I have now finished tidying up all the vehicles that were in service when transferred over. I've just got to add the new vehicles waiting to go into service and the driver trainers.

Do the ones with First Numbers have the class letters before them or just the five digit number?

I can't tell from the Fleet list First have sent me, and there's no direct trains from Rugeley to London on Saturday for me to go down chasing them

LVF aren't reporting any yet and they are normally very quick for anything that happens in the capital

Tony

And Finally I have finished the ex RATP fleet with the NBFL, Heritage fleet, Trainers and new buses yet to enter service added

Tony,

Thank you for posting this info, however you need to separate the ORIGINAL LONDON Sightseeing Tour Limited from London United page as the OLST operation is still owned by RATP and hasn't been bought by First.

All of the First Bus London vehicles I saw today have the still got their RATP fleet numbers, however First Bus logos have become more widespread across the fleet over the last few weeks, with the first WK vehicles gaining their new logos in the past week.

I can't remember to be honest
