It wasn't this, and it wasn't London. There is a photo of this one in todays Mirror.

RE: London Bus Scene
Deliveries through Heysham weekend just gone, LT104 for Metroline (Holloway) for the 390, interestingly showing 'Hampstead Heath' '24' ( http://malsfotofile.smugmug.com/HeyshamD...&k=KGp2tg5 ) , would fully expect the 24 & 390 batches to be interchangeable as both are Holloway routes. Also of interest is LT120 ( http://malsfotofile.smugmug.com/HeyshamD...L&lb=1&s=A ) which carries no fleetnames/legal lettering as it's intended route is unknown at present (the 390 batch is up to LT117), it is rumoured that the 148 between White City & Camberwell Green may be next for conversion which is a London United route...but has not been officially announced by TFL so a case of wait and see. Above pics by 'MalsFotoFile'.

For anyone interested Mercedes Citaro K Demonstrator BU13ZVE, known as MBK1 is running from Arriva London's Enfield depot at the moment and is currently on 313 Chingford - Potters Bar as I type this

I don't think the next NBfL conversion can be that far off. Up to LT134 (at least) are built.

Something which affects the whole TfL Network:

TfL announce fare rise but only at rate of inflation

Although the article is geared towards the Tramlink, this fares increase is across the Network.

Hints elsewhere that London United's 148 might be next, but not announced by TFL as of yet.
