Despite the livery having been replaced over 5 years ago, Air Canada's old Evergreen livery still lives on and whilst in certain conditions does look particularly dated and even weathered poorly, in most cases such as good lighting and well-maintained still looks sleek and elegant... The winter light certainly proves the old colours still looks superb and dare I say better than the new livery.
For the W22 scheduler, Air Canada are certainly busy at London Heathrow; the carrier is operating 8 daily flights from their usual hubs across Canada, as well as a fifth-freedom flight to and from Mumbai. 5 out of the 8 daily flights are in the hands of the large Boeing 787-9 fleet, whilst the remaining 3 flights are provided by one Airbus A330-300, Boeing 737 MAX 8 and Boeing 777-300ER each.
At present, Air Canada is in the process of finalising their upcoming S23 schedule where capacity and frequency are expected to increase, expect a update in the future...
Currently, Air Canada operates 37 Boeing 787s, which includes 8 Boeing 787-8s and 29 Boeing 787-9s. Air Canada have 2 Boeing 787-9s on-order.

Recently replaced on the 901/906 from Largs to Glasgow is McGills Mercedes-Benz Citaro 3321 - BU64MWO which has now moved onto service X7 and now wears appropriate X7 branding.
Pictured in glorious evening light, here is First Solent's Volvo B7TL 37162 pictured heading through Titchfield Common on an X4 for Portsmouth. This is the first sighting I've had of a double deck out from Hoeford for months - since 30th March - and is probably due to the social distancing requirements.
What is also most interesting about this photo are two links. Firstly, these five buses (3 at Southampton on-loan from Hoeford, and 2 at Hoeford) have been reported as transferring to First in Cornwall, being replaced by Enviro400s returning on lease from Rotala in Manchester. This is also secondly interesting because it suggests the Enviros will be thrown into service for social distancing - likely to be on the Solent Rangers - sooner than expected.
Either way, I'm just glad the LED came out. A warning Kernow photographers - these are a nightmare to get consistently!
