I'm going down to London in the holidays - so I hope I'll be able to catch a ride on a couple more Borismasters - last time I only got to ride one! Looks pretty eyecatching; is that the only one advertising it?
RE: London Bus Operations - Adrian - 16 Jun 2014

Very interesting indeed, and the 10 runs right past where I need to be in a few weeks. Will keep a look out for this one.

It will, because the technology is there to support such a move. Most of your travellers in London will have either a Oyster card or an ENCTS pass. Those there for a day trip will normally pay for a day ticket as part of their rail tickets. In the rare occasion anyone won't have either of the three, then they can pay by contactless payment from a debit/credit card.

In an update to that, It has been Painted Green for Demonstration Purposes at First Leeds, No doubt this is to do with proposed plan for a "New Bus For Leeds", instead of a Trolleybuses which was suggested by West Yorkshire PTE.
LT2 has since arrived at Leeds Hunslet Park Depot

West Yorkshire PTE's Trolleybus suggestion would cost £250,000,000 to Implement, and they'd like up and running by 2019, where First Leeds would prefer to Purchase NB4L's at a of £354,500 each, Resulting in an Overall cost of £70,900,000 for 200 Vehicles, Saving £170,100,000 Overall, and it could be implemented a lot sooner than the Trolleybuses.

It seems Stagecoach has their own Royal British Legion 'poppy bus'...
