VDL/SB200 Pulsar 11.9m hydrogen Bus
I waited 5 years for this bus to come in service. TfL says that its training programme for drivers was hindered by the
heavy snowfall and low temperatures in December so it decided to
postpone the first public services.
Along with Christmas and new year break First still hadn't competed the training on how to use these computers on wheels.
Go Ahead London's Wrights dirty or clean
From the looks of the 21s new wrights all LX59 *** they look older most buses on London's roads I blame the paint job. Go Ahead have used the same colours for many years now. Maybe its time for a change or just choose a different type of paint. But that's just new cross and how they treat there newest buses to be honest all this is from intermixing on routes 36, 171, 172, 321 and the odd rail replacement. Go Ahead have many spear buses in there fleet that could be used on rail replacement. Peckham depot have very clean wrights they make new cross look bad even the refurb Plaxtons look fresh on the 363 cant say the same thing about the 321s refurbs.

Dennis Dart Marshall Capital
The Marshall Capital is a dying breed in London in 1997 to 2003 it was made on Dart SLF chassis has it was the most likely engine companies prefer. First had the biggest order of the fleet with over 300 within the first group. When Marshall went bust in 2002 MCV used there design of the Capital body and the product was continued. Transbus was never add to the Capitals body only on the MCV Evolutions. this body can be found on Dennis Dart SLF Voith or Alison gearbox and MAN 11.220. In the picture is DML41734 X734 HLF
Well i know there is a recession on but what an earth is that plastic seats very bad refurbishment on PVL64 route 171 . I know urban 90s are rock hard but this is something from the flintstones.
Spirit of London Enviro
The spirit of London bus was the first Alexander Dennis Enviro 400 made in 2005 which replaced 17758 LX03 BUF what was destroyed in the London bus bombing. When Stagecoach toke over East London bus Group they began cleaning up the companies act e.g the Enviro 400 Tridents on voith Euro 5 on route 99 and 53. Refurbishment was taking place with the tridents and Darts, so far no Scania Omnicities have been Refurbished or Optare Versas. In the picture 18500 now known has 19000 LX55 HGC with new seats , blinds , Stagecoach signs. has of the engine side i dont know if they updated the engine parts or if its still on Euro 3.
