If only the New Routemasters had dayglo blinds by being swapped with the 279s. That would be so cool.

I was lucky one day when cng507k arrived brand new to Ipswich. They really glowed when new, my pic of 507 is a treasured item in m6 collection! It was a shame the front grilles stained so badly in use, they always looked a bit tatty within a few months in service

Yesterday all the remaining HVs from EC went to W3 now W3 is no longer using Ts. New Routemaster are apparently soon to be replaced by the BYD buses.

Broken down electric buses seem to a regular site in Dublin. It's amazing that the company I work for has 24 year old ALX400 bodied Volvos and yet they never give us any trouble yet its nearly always the newer buses I see with the hazards on and warning triangle out.

I love the sounds of the electric buses when they've stopped. Don't seem to be that many around London though. How many miles can it go on a single charge? The 307 is a fairly long route.

Not sure about miles, but they can last about 16 hours if they start on 100% charge, then run in with about 6-8%

The duty card has abbreviations I know a few but what is NBAR? And is that the electric bus noise ?

NBAR is New Barnet. Because electric buses don't have an engine, and thus no engine sounds, they emit a noise at speeds below 15mph to warn blind people that a vehicle is close by
