(09 Jun 2017, 5:02 pm)S813 FVK Not branded yet - the news says 'in 3 days' so I would expect that to be Monday.
I also imagine that the Streetlites will be drip-fed into service again as per all other recent Streetlite orders. It isn't as if there is a new brand to launch, just the new buses. I would therefore think that the first could enter service as early as next week.

(09 Jun 2017, 5:11 pm)Michael Was hoping they would have a few before they went in to service, the "Black Cats" is a new brand though?, maybe the launch will be done at a later date, like the Prince Bishops but then again i don't think the DD or 49 had a launch?

(09 Jun 2017, 5:10 pm)Dan 5466 planned to enter service on Wednesday afternoon, after testing of the Next Stop media takes place on Wednesday morning.
Should undergo inspection at Deptford this weekend and used for the last bit of familiarisation on Monday and Tuesday.
By Wednesday afternoon, 5463 should also be ready (it is planned to be branded on Monday), and it's quite likely that another will be delivered, branded and ready, so three can enter service on the same day.

(09 Jun 2017, 5:13 pm)Michael Thanks Dan, Any idea which service they'll end up on?
What are the fleet movements going to be once all of them enter service?
--
Also i'm surprised that 4926, 4931 were withdrawn before the B10's, thought they would of took them over as float vehicles.

A bit off topic but this was the best place to put this?
Is there an acknowledgement of sorts between enthusiasts? You know, if you are on a bus and someone else is spotting, wouldn't it be handy to have a certain wave which means something along the lines of 'Hello, I am an enthusiast!'
Any ideas lol?
