London Vehicle Finder has revealed that the first Alexander Dennis BYD Enviro400EV City entered into service is:
RATP London United BCE47003 registration: LB69JNL
You can view the image of the bus posted on Flickr here.
As I've said before, the City bodywork uses styling from the three-door, two-staircase hybrid bus known as the New Routemaster.
The first route converted to Enviro400EV City buses was London Buses Route 43 on 1st July 2019 with five vehicles in service operated by Metroline. You can read more in my previous article here.
Upcoming routes to use Enviro400EV City for London:
| Route | Bus operator | Contract start date |
| 173 | Stagecoach | 17th October 2020 |
| 174 | Stagecoach | 17th October 2020 |
