Le nouvel autobus hybride MAN 2062 du sous-traitant RATP Dev porte les couleurs de la livrée TPG 2014, présentée dès 2013 sur les trolleybus Van Hool ExquiCity et peu répandue depuis, de manière originale.

Il circule en direction de la gare de Satigny sur la ligne 70 ex-S.

Here’s BCE47057e at Teddington on the 281 to Tolworth.

Today (28/02/25), the successful acquisition of RATP London to the First group occurred, now under the full title, "First Bus London Ltd". So, the titles & logos we see on the current RATP group, now First vehicles like the one shown above will soon be confined to the history books.

ADE40442 YX62BYJ seen at Hammersmith, Brook Green as it awaits its journey back to Willesden Junction on route 220.

Hammersmith, Brook Green is probably the rarest curtailment out of all turns on the 220 but it can sometimes be used by routes 72/295.

Because of the traffic lights failing in the Hammersmith area, the roads were severely gridlocked, resulting many buses being turned at surrounding areas.

3 220s were turned here and ADE42 stands awaiting its time to head northbound.

FirstGroup return to Transport for London service work after it withdrew back in June 2013...well, they're going to with a longstop date of 30 April 2025. Now, it's February 2025, and we have two buses with First logos, but we currently have no news of whether the deal has been completed.

The irony is - Route E3 was won by London United RATP from Metroline West, the successor of First Centrewest; now the route will be operated by FirstGroup again. TIme is indeed, a circle.

At Edgware. Don't think these rare buses should be on this route.

SP40178 YT10XCB seen at Petersham working on route 65 towards Kingston, Brook Street.

The Scanias had their days numbered on the 65 which eventually got fully replaced in early Spring. The older Scanias had been withdrawn and sold to operators outside London but the remaining ones do still work primarily on the 71.
