Cheers!

2675 is on a 407/471/472 board. I rode it on a 407 journey this morning.

Cheers for that, caught a shot of it on the 407 heading up Laird Street http://www.flickr.com/photos/dmc1947/853...hotostream

Also, seems there was some event at LS for the hybrids as at least 10 were lined up at the back with "Cross River Hybrid" on their destination diaplay and a crowd of HV clad people in the yard.

afaik today was the publicity launch for the hybrids

I did read the posts, when "publicity launch" was said i thought they meant that people where there to take pictures for blogs, news papers etc. Not the actual launch day

Apparently 2949 is on the 432/433/437 this afternoon. Launch of hybrids will be end of March when the next delivery arrives.

I've heard Enviro400's 4421 and 4422 could be staying with 4400 and 4401 leaving. The seating will be changed over.
Also new buses will not be used on Night bus services.

I remember they did the same thing when the enviros first arrived and made sure all drivers took a palatine out on them.. however being as clever as usual one night bus came straight off a 437 and stayed in liverpool for 20 minutes before going out as an N450 and was an enviro anyway!
