LT118/9 LTZ1118/9 have been allocated to Go Ahead for Route 11. One is to replace an accident victim and the other for longer journey times due to Crossrail works.

Managed to catch up with 'Year of the bus' silver liveried LT150 yesterday, it's currently working on the 9 but will be used on the 10 from the end of April then the route converts to Borismaster's, as with the 9, it is worked from Stamford Brook so would expect that the batches would mix as do the 24/390 with Metroline.

RE: London Bus Scene
Quick recap on the current status of the Borismasters.

LT1-3 away on tour
LT4-7 Arriva London, route 38
LT8 shortly to return as a Euro6 prototype and will be used by Metroline, routes 24 & 390
LT9-40 Metroline, routes 24 & 390, LT35 back in service this week after it's bump last July.
LT41-68 Go Ahead London, route 11, LT62 out after it's accident during it's second day in service last September.
LT69-94 London United, route 9
LT95-117 Metroline, routes 24 & 390
LT118/9 Go Ahead London, route 11
LT120-47 London United, route 148
LT148-71/4/5 London United, route 10, silver LT150 is seeing service on route 9
LT172/3 Arriva London, Euro6 prototypes
LT176-87 unallocated
LT188/9 Go Ahead London, Euro6 Prototypes
LT190 Metroline, Euro6 prototype.
LT191-234 unallocated
LT235-68 unallocated
Route 38 is to have a phased conversion during May so likely to include LT176-87/91-234 in the allocation, PVR of 57 so will be the largest NB4L operated route.
Route 8 is to convert towards the end of June, the batch *should* be LT235-68 (as Stagecoach numbers 61235-68 have reportedly been allocated).

I shall update any changes as I know of them.

Hi GKA472L and all.
Yesterday I went down to London for RT 75th Annivesary, First thing I was straight to Arriva Ash Grove Garage near Hackney for RT 75th display, seven Borismaster already at Ash Grove were LT179/180/181/182/196 and 211 parked outside of garage, also one of them inside the building can't see fleet number but too far away. All of them not enter service yet and could be enter service next couple of weeks.

RE: London Bus Scene
From 'MalsFotoFile' LT189 is the second silver Borismaster, destined for Go Ahead (not Arriva as the caption says) as one of two Euro6 prototypes for them (LT188 is the other).
