BREAKING: Daily travelcards have been saved after agreement between City Hall & Rail Delivery Group. Source close to the Mayor: “There’s been a lot of back and forth between TfL, Rail Delivery Group and Government in recent weeks and a good compromise has been found.” >

Who needs to go to London, when London can come to Norfolk? Latest arrivals at @konectbuses are at least two of these Optare Olympus Enviro400 Tridents, still looking fit for the capital. Former DOE5 is now KB's 649, spotted in the market town of Dereham this morning! 🔴

There are just over two weeks until we open our doors to the public at Orpington Garage on Saturday 23 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Metrobus.   
A group of local colleagues are working hard to prepare for a fun filled day and, among other things, the following attractions are planned:   ·       A vehicle display covering the last four decades. ·       Bus wash rides. ·       Garage tours. ·       Stalls selling transport memorabilia.   A commemorative brochure, raising funds for St Christopher's Hospice (stchristophers.org.uk), is also in the pipeline.    Kastriot Gashi, Area General Manager with responsibility for Orpington and seven other locations said: "Garage open days are very popular events and in commemorating 40 successful years, we look forward to many more."

Interesting start to the new 84B plugging the Potters Bar to Barnet gap. Mass confusion over the loopy route in Barnet. Lots of Potters Barites giving it a first day send off.

New trains for the Piccadilly in Germany. These will be a huge upgrade for London when they’re introduced. Hopefully feeding into a wider line and signalling upgrade in the next 5-10 years (subject to funding) 🇩🇪

You’d be forgiven for thinking I’m currently in a Go-Ahead London bus depot… The @SouthernVectis @IsleOfWightFest bus fleet is all ready to spring into action from tomorrow - excellent collaboration across @TheGoAheadGroup to deliver this high-profile event. – at Newport, England

We’ve used up all our spare buses (and more) for our new @Morebusco and @BluestarHQ services, so at @SouthernVectis , we’re borrowing some London buses from @Go_Ahead_London to help out at @IsleOfWightFest this year. Here’s the first one being prepared for service.

Our Metrobus operation is 40 this year and we are pleased to announce a garage open day at Orpington on Saturday 23 September 2023 between 1000hrs to 1600hrs. David Cutts, Go-Ahead London's Managing Director, said: "In celebrating its distinguished past, we also look forward to a bright future that includes innovative electric buses on Route 358.  We know from experience these events are very popular, as was the case at Orpington in 2013 when Metrobus celebrated its 30th anniversary, and further details will be shared over the coming months." Metrobus was effectively born on 24 September 1983, with buses initially adopting a blue and yellow livery.  The company secured its first London Regional Transport bus contracts in 1986, for Routes 61 and 361, using 13 ex-London Transport Daimler Fleetlines. We are London's largest bus company and a part of The Go-Ahead Group, an international provider of passenger transport. #goaheadlondon #londonbuses #publictransport

On Tuesday we revealed a commemorative livery on LT511, a Stockwell-based New Routemaster, celebrating this weekend’s historic Coronation.     Earlier today, this vehicle joined a select number of other London buses for a one-off Transport for London photocall in and around Parliament Square/Westminster Bridge and we are pleased to share images with you.    Andy Edwards, Go-Ahead London’s Operations Director, said: “LT511 has been very well received by colleagues and they tell me passenger feedback has been equally positive.  It continues to operate on Route 11, which passes Westminster Abbey, where the Coronation itself will take place in a couple of days.  A trip on the 11’s is the perfect vantage point to see many historic buildings with a Royal connection and to soak up the atmosphere in the UK’s capital city at this special time.”   We are London’s largest bus company and a part of The Go-Ahead Group, an international provider of passenger transport. #goaheadlondon #londonbuses #publictransport #coronation2023
