Not sure which vehicles are in use, I know I've definitely seen 303 and 304. I can see the buses from my office window so will keep an eye out. Although I can't see the numbers, they are identifiable by their tree deflectors - 302 has red, 303 has yellow, and 304 doesn't have one. (302 also has an extra bay of roof compared to the other two.) I think I've also seen one with undivided upper deck windscreen and old-style City Sightseeing branding, which could well be the Volvo, 301.

On a separate question, anyone know what was the reason for the word "HOOP" below the windscreens of both 201 and 202? At first I thought it was a name, until I realised that both buses had it (plus it would have been a bit of an odd name anyway!)

Will the City Sightseeing tours be run now then on the Hollywood Limos licence or will the Ace travel licence still be operated under Mr Mc Caughrans name? Thanks.
