That's correct Shaun. An interesting point as well is that the amount of new Enviro400s for the 12/13 should be the same as the amount of Axcess-Ultralows it received in 1996. In theory the 12/13 should be receiving 20 Enviro400s to cover its PVR of 19 and allowing for a spare

It's hard to believe it's been nearly nineteen years since the 12/13 received new buses - and in my opinion it's been with the wait

For those interested 2345 is still in traffic - it is operating on the 8/9s today

A Yahoo forum notes that 4647 has been built and has been seen at the ALD works at Falkirk

Seems that they were expected in the Autumn but are now expected over the next month or two now

Allocations like this have been normal for the past month or two since Green Lane lost most of its newer Pulsars. Also, up to four Renowns and Myllenniums can usually be found on the 18, with the odd one appearing on the 15 (and the 14, albeit less often).

I've personally not seen a Myllennium on the 26/27 before - and I use it regularly

I am fully aware of the usual allocations of the 14, 15 and 18

Saw 2345 on the 12/13 and Bonnet looked loose as when the Bus would start moving the bonnet would fly open
