On another note, the 487s are back to Cadets after the departure of the ex-Runcorn Pulsars.

I noticed there was atleast one B5HL in service today with no branding, not even an "Arriva" logo on it! :l
I quite like them compared to the Enviro 400's and VDL DB300's on the other side of the river, the interior is brighter, especially the ligthting, however I did notice people kept putting there sets on the nice new leather and marking it! tut tut!
A video of 4519 will be on my youtube by tonight

2441 has a front centre panel in the old livery - looks a little strange.

You know - that's just not right - I'd be well p****d off if I bought a new car and I had to have it towed on day 1. A Y-ABA I can understand, but not brand new buses on their first day in service - and reports indicate at least one other failed but made it's own way home.

I was on a hybrid at around 10:30pm on the 437, and i looked over into the drivers cab and noticed that the battery level was on mininum, i think its going to be hard having to charge 33 of them everyday if there just about lasting a full day and evening

Its expected with new buses - theres always teething issues! Ive heard at least one of the breakdowns was battery level related, presumably because theyve been sitting around in the yard for some time now, and have only clocked up delivery miles so ther'll probably be a few problems!
2442 (i think) on 464 today, also a 59 plate pulsar on 418s and a new pulsar on 487s.

Noticed today that some of the Hybrid's are still displaying the wrong fleet number. I have seen 2 with number 4514 and 2 with the number 4521 to name but a few.
