Yes, the majority are being prepared for service at Brighton & Hove's Newhaven Depot (used for maintenance purposes) and a handful have now entered service.

Brighton & Hove's fleet list is available here. If you click '2015' under the 'deliveries by year' section (above the red 'Current Fleet as at 10 April 2015' banner), you can see the examples which have entered service as there is a date next to the fleet number/registration and the majority of these have 'BH4 Coaster 12' which links to a photograph of that vehicle.

Looks like the Destination has fired a Blank at the Person who took the Photo, and they have then went and Cut/Pasted the Destination off another Photo, and put it on the one attached above, thats how bad it looks in my opinion.

You think? I'm not keen on the green / blue, but the vehicle itself looks really smart. 

I'm down there next month so I'll get to see for myself. 


RE: South East Bus Operations - Martin Rogers - 13 Apr 2015

I am very much looking forward to seeing the 30 New Stagecoach Enviro 400MMC bodied Scania Double Deckers enter service at Canterbury (15261-15290), which are expected early next year.

They're really smart looking buses, and they feel like they've got some kick behind them too. I was sceptical when I first seen the livery, but when you see it on the road, you see how striking it really is. It stands out from a mile and for the right reasons.

Link to Oxford's new Streetdeck which hit the roads this week....I think it looks OK

low height as always for them. Struggling to decide whether it looks better than the full height version.

I think I prefer the 'normal' height

Talking of Oxford, Thames Travel currently have at least two of the Oxford Mercs.
Still showing Oxford livery and vinyls, the Thames Travel logo is on display at the front of the vehicle.

That looks brilliant and well thought out by B&H, best speak to whoever is charge of Branding at GNE then citaro5284 and get the interior branding rolled out on the Coaster & WheyAye50.

Also worth noting in here that Brighton & Hove's Scania N94UD/East Lancs OmniDekkas 613 and 620 have been sold to Go North East.

They suit the two tone blue with the yellow semi circle on the side.


RE: South East Bus Operations - R852 PRG - 17 Oct 2015

Brighton & Hove have named two Scania OmniDekkas in memory of two victims of the Shoreham Airshow Crash. Staff felt it was a fitting tribute to the name the two Albion buses after them as they were both keen footballers. They are looking into other ways to pay tribute to the other victims of the crash.

623 - YN04 GJK - ''Matthew Grimstone''
665 - YN55 NFD - ''Jacob Schilt''

I was down there a few weeks back and saw them - forgetting completely to mention it on here.

Whilst in that neck of the woods, I noted a Thames Travel E200 in a Oxford Science Park livery. Hadn't seen that previously.
Didn't spot any of the Oxford Citaro's on lone to Thames on this occasion.

The X39 or 40 and a couple of the Oxford express routes to the likes of Abingdon have had their destinations updated to show an 'arrow' on the via line, indicating a limited stop service.
Hadn't seen these previously, so assuming a recent revision.

Could be useful for the likes of the X9/10.

Oxford have used an arrow for a while on some of their expresses.  I dont think they scroll the via point thou.

I had never noticed them at all in the past either when using them (or Thames) or passing them in opposite direction.

It may have been the Thames examples I noticed first, that drew my eyes to the Oxford ones.
