As its windy and everything is flying everywhere, things are going to break... just like how a telephone line whipped around and took a rear window out of Arrivas 7529 on the X18 this morning...
Why do you have to post massive photos anyway, it takes an age to scroll.

Some ex-Highwayman Solars have tachographs fitted...

You aren't. The only Loop to be branded for service 97 (and others) is 5218.

5221 isn't ex-Highwayman, it was recently repainted out of it's ''Loop'' branding and into plain black.

5221 isn't tacho fitted. At least according to the company's official fleet allocation it's not.
4941, 4944, 4949, 4966, 4967, 5227 and 5228 are the Riverside Solars with a tacho fitted. In addition to that, 4918, 4921, 5235 and 5391, could also be used.

Likewise, albeit only with recent orders in the last few years. We all know 6071 has one from when it saw a lot of use on the TTX previously. I believe 6056 on the Angel has one too. Not sure about the Streetlites on the Coast & Country and Red Kite.

5395 and 5410 have tachographs.

Hello! First time contributor, though Ive long thought this is a great platform for discussion with some interesting debate.
Apologies if this has been previously discussed; does anybody know why 4973's branding for the X35 was changed at some point from 'every 30 minutes' to 'every 60 minutes'. I'm certain this route has been essentially the same since 2006!
