Why wouldn't it be allowed? It stops them from using the pass again. Last time I checked they're within their rights to do so.

(30 Jul 2018, 12:23 pm)S813 FVK Around the windows - he just referred to the window type rather than using a term that everyone will understand. 

They would look similar to the ex-London B9TLs if they were painted black.

Just got confused as 6902 is exactly the same, and wasn't mentioned!

Depending on the livery, I think it's sometimes smarter that way anyway.

What on earth is going on with that seating configuration?

Also, why wouldn't a driver withdraw an expired pass off a customer? It's no use to them anymore, it stops them trying to use it again, and we get a reward!

First few days of August is Christmas come early for drivers, plenty of kids using expired Under16 POP cards Which "they didn't know had expired."

Angel 6318 doesn’t appear to have had its NSA silencer update to stop it announcing the route and destination while the doors are open - as it is repeating it again on door closure

6902 and 6914 were both in use at Deptford today because the Prince Bishops Streetlites are all having new destination controllers fitted.

Ten done today, more to follow next week. 6914 was used on the Prince Bishops, but a second Streetlite (which had been VOR in the morning) became available, so 6902 was used on service 56 instead of service 20, following a breakdown.

6920 also in use at Deptford today, albeit just as a staff shuttle van.

The pulsars on arriva's 22/24 have a similar arrangement. Great when you've got lots of shopping, mobility aids or an xxl arse.

Think you may have mixed it up with 6104.

6103 has been VOR since the end of June - it's currently at Volvo (Crowther Industrial Estate, Washington) having some work done to its engine.
