"NBFL"

Leon Daniels has just posted on his facebook page and blog, shots and video of the new bus for London at todays press launch at Millbrook. The engineering testbed vehicle is now at Millbrook for testing. He reports that the first true prototype is due for completion in the Autumn and will enter service with Arriva in the new year. The test vehicle, driven round Millbrook by Boris Johnston, is unpainted and was described by the Evening Standard as "The silver dream machine". The silver lady rides again!

My bus number (if any): RM531
