Thanks for this about another silver Borismasters LT189 same as LT150 too, I've noticed that two different red colour lines, LT150 had two red lines, one thin and one thicker red lines, LT189 had one thick red line and not thin.

Route 10 (Kings Cross/Hammersmith) has converted to Borismasters from today, LT148-71/4/5 are the ones intended for the route, however with route 9 also worked from Stamford Brook depot with LT69-94, there is the odd vehicle working the 10 from the older batch and vice versa today. Route 38 (Victoria/Clapton) is next with LT172/3/6-87/91-234 with a phased conversion to be completed by the end of May, route 8 (Tottenham Court Road/Bow) to follow towards the end of June with LT235-68 which will be the first ones with Stagecoach (61235-68 in Stagecoach speak although unknown at present if these numbers will be carried).

I know most of this thread is about developments of LT operations, but I felt like reporting something completely different. With Transdev about to see London Sovereign to RATP, we now have TfL buses run by just 9 operators. These are Go-Ahead, Arriva, Metroline, Stagecoach, RATP, Abellio, Tower Transit, CT Plus and Sullivan.

The VH's used on the 13 are carrying Transdev fleetnames now, saw a few at Golders Green the other day.

Happened to be in London on 29/4 when tube strike was on.
Had a lovely ride on RTL453 on route 15 from St. Pauls to Aldwych.

Five of the original Wright hybrids that were with Arriva London are now for sale at Ensign, upgraded to New Routemaster mechanical spec apparently and available for less than £100k each.

Also advertised in Bus & Coach week magazine. Also states that their bodies are upgraded to Gemini 2 spec.
RE: London Bus Scene - 126th street - 13/05/2014 12:26
I thought they were Gemini 2s to start with. Shame Impera still aren't in operation, I'm sure they'd have been right up their street...!
RE: London Bus Scene - motormayhem1 - 13/05/2014 18:29
Dont think they would of been in imperas price range,maybe if the decimal point was moved to £9500.00
