Have any of 6944-47/61-63 appeared in service as yet?

I think 6944 is at Consett with its front missing

6946 entered service today on the 900 only to breakdown on its first trip.

6944/45 are both in the North East awaiting parts for MOT.
6946 has now entered service but overheated yesterday, should be back out in service pretty soon.
6947 is VOR.
6961-63 are still in London undergoing MOT and repaint prior to heading north, should be delivered one per week over the next three weeks. The final one will swap for some of the examples not yet repainted.

6967 is operating Metro Replacement without NSA equipment:
“Our smart Euro 6 buses will have free Wi-Fi and next stop audio-visual announcements”.
Thats because it wasn't originally planned to be part of the Metro Replacement fleet. It was originally going to be a spare parts doner, however due to delays in other E400 arriving and due to the fact it's in decent condition they put it into service.

Give them a chance!
That one was rushed into service at the eleventh hour due to delays with the buses coming from London.

Just quoting what was said little over a day before the operation began.

This was a spare, the oldest of the lot. It wasn't intended for service.

And 24 out of the 25 buses have been of this specification since day one... The last one not having this because kit wasn't ordered for a bus originally intended to be a scrap part donor...

Fair enough 96% is pretty good.

They seem to have put more effort into allocating vehicles for the Metro Replacements than they have for the rest of the routes!

Pretty hard to get the allocation wrong for Metro Flow when it’s one route out of one depot with one set of buses

I wouldn't put it past them!
Is the Metro Flow NSA programmed separately from the rest of the routes, or do all vehicles have it. And do the E400s have the rest of the network programmed, should they inevitably end up venturing out onto other routes

Daniel, I would have thought you would have learned your lesson by now.
Whatever you say, is often seized upon and thrown back when the inevitable happens.
Quite frequently too!
Don't be surprised when everyone jumps on this one.
PS: I'm not gonna be asking you for the lottery numbers.

At this point I wonder if he does it on purpose to get that sweet sweet attention that he so obviously craves!

Oh aye. The hilarity of the inevitable posts on here from the same people make typing the next Tweet all the more amusing.
There was a breakdown the other night which resulted in a Cityrider being allocated to the 900 - I’m sure someone will quote my “it’s difficult to get the allocation wrong on one route from one depot with one set of branded buses” post in due course.

Oh, that's a guarantee!
You're going to have to start adding caveats to all of your potentially quotable posts
Given that they had a Cityrider on it, I assume the NSAs were indeed programmed into the rest of the fleet?

Actual sighting or a bustimes sighting?
