I seem to remember the GL ones came into service around Jan/Feb 2015 so the SH ones sometime after that

I’m unsure if this will apply to the 64 plate Enviro400s though, as they could have been put into service in September, meaning they wouldn’t need to be compliant until next year.

Does anyone know when the 64 plates were put into service please?

Thanks in advance

Speke had a few 14 plates that came in service first, they would have been late spring/ summer 2014 followed in September by 64 plates. Thinks GL's were into service in Late Autumn 2014 or early winter. December rings a bell with SH probably February 2015.

Was passing by 4686 earlier today and noticed there's a visual display inside near the front of the bus displaying route/stop information... Any idea if this is one of such vehicles with audio visual announcements?

Pity they can’t fit some heating in the saloons and all but that’s for another story.. In the meantime, progress is being made on the Gemini 3 B5LH refurbishments with numerous also going down to Derby for repaints.
