RE: London Bus Scene
Seen that last night, these things do seem to be having their problems this year with the ones in Liverpool and you would have to question their safety.

LT3 has joined LT1 & LT2 on tour. LT3 in Hong Kong http://www.flickr.com/photos/43244539@N00/10052346604/

LT1 has been to New York and LT2 seems to be touring Europe, as far as I know, it's been to Belgium & Poland at least http://www.flickr.com/photos/70747918@N04/9683236617

Fascinating website that!
It seems 68 Wrightbus 'Borismasters' are now running (£354,500 each), with the latest one being Go-Ahead London LT68 (type; 'GAL LT68' for its whereabouts).

DVLA says LT68 (LTZ 1068) was registered 05 September, so it won't be long before those London United examples are on the road.

Anyway, photo of LT68 from your Flickr account

The London United ones for the 9 start on 26 October

RE: London Bus Scene
The 9 converts to Borismasters on Saturday, as with the 24, it will be a complete overnight conversion, rather than phased as was the case with the 11. Also, the 390 converts on 7 December, an overnight conversion once again and will be worked from Holloway depot as are the 24's. The London United batch will be LT69-LT94 for the 9 and the next Metroline batch for the 390 will be LT95-LT117. http://www.tfl.gov.uk/corporate/media/ne...28731.aspx

RE: London Bus Scene
Then, according to londonbusroutes.net the next route for LTs will be route 148 from February 15th.

When LV closes and EC reopens on March 1st, AD, AR and WN will be involved in the reallocations. I think these will be as follows (although SDO routes are hard to say at this stage):

34 LV to AD
102 AD to EC
144 WN to EC
149 AR to EC
318 LV to AR
341 LV to AR
397 LV to EC
444 LV to EC
W3 LV to WN
W6 LV to EC
W11 LV to EC

The London United Wrightbus NBfL 'Borismasters' LT69-LT94 (LTZ 1069 - LTZ 1094) are now on the road and on the LVF website, despite not appearing on DVLA's database (yet).

Type 'LU LT69' etc into the London Vehicle Finder searchbox to pinpoint their exact location.
