According to bustimes.org, its not out today, neither is 6301 but drivers will probables need training on 6301 before they're let loose on it!

I dont think drivers will need any training for 6301, it is the same layout as a streetlite in the cab, only difference is that it has an upstairs, switches are switches, they all look the same

Only drivers who operated from Deptford during lockdown and a select few who have previously worked from other depots will have had any experience with a StreetLite. So I would imagine there will be many who would need familled.

Well I certainly won't be getting any photos of it soon due to me being stuck in Hospital with a broken leg.
