Out of interest, how would it be managed? Do all the access points redirect authentication (or TOS acceptance in this case) through a RADIUS server or the like?

@Robert
Presumably the Solar must have been there earlier on the week, as it was towards the middle/back end that Dan was saying all of the Solars for the 35 were out.
Unless, it ended up being pulled for whatever reason by Deptford.
@Citaro5284
That's a canny chunk of data being used. Has it gone up gradually since the WiFi issues were resolved, or has there been a sudden increase?

(05 Oct 2014, 2:04 pm)Michael Will they continue with the B10's only or will something else be up for repaint since the tridents are done?

(05 Oct 2014, 2:10 pm)Dan Moved your post here, as the main purpose of the other thread is just to provide links to the news articles rather than for discussion...
We'll have to wait and see, but I think we'll see fewer corporate livery repaints now and more branded vehicles getting repainted.

(05 Oct 2014, 2:12 pm)Michael I hope they will drop the pointless brands... either way it might give us a idea on what else will get new buses this year..
I just noticed, they're's still a lot of the trident down as Northern.. mistake or are these ones not getting painted?

(05 Oct 2014, 2:18 pm)Dan I believe only twelve Tridents were due to be repainted, ten remaining in "Northern" branding, and this was mainly linked to the timeframe available when these buses were not required for scholars, etc.
The repaints started as soon as the schools broke up for summer, way back in July, and I think it was expected that two would be completed per week (12 buses divided by 6 weeks holidays = 2 per week).
The repaints were delayed somewhat due to some of these buses being re-deployed elsewhere in the fleet to cover for absent Volvo B7TLs when the Glasgow Games were on, in addition to various buses being VOR (the Tridents are seemingly notorious for having engine issues). This is why, one month into the new school term, we're still seeing the Tridents undergoing repaint.
