Hybrid on N89
Also,
it’s interesting to see that route 259 will be getting new hybrid buses which
we will see next year.
Also from LOTS:
Sunday 26 June
1) In the past week, many more London United VHs have gone into
service at Tolworth, temporarily on route
131 until route 85 is assumed on 2nd July.
Also many more E400H-City buses
now in use on the 26, resulting in several of the E400s (DN class) returning to
Tower Transit. At Trustybus, six
elderly (but DDA adapted) former Go-Ahead North East Volvo B10BLEs are now in
stock.
