Has anyone sighted 2319 or 2320 in service yet? BTBuses shows that both were delivered in August 2017.
I have seen the next five - 2321, 2322, 2323, 2324 and 2325 - but not 2319 or 2320.

2319 and 2320 are the buses being showcased with the driver security screens in them. They are currently stationed at Sherwood. Not sure where they are off to next.

I saw 2319 and 2320 parked near the garages at Carina yesterday so maybe they are close to coming into service.

2332 and 2333 have been out and about for a couple of weeks now!
Caught 2332, nothing different to the other 2309 onward B7RLE

With the impending introduction of the B8RLE Artic, are there any plans to move from the B7RLE to the B8RLE for standard buses?
Re: BT Volvo B7RLE Optimus

Not really sure, but there are at least 2 more B7RLE's registered, with another 8 to come before the batch of 9 B8RLEA's. The B7 chassis range is about to be replaced by the B8 chassis range, so possibly will happen.

So do you know whether BT have ordered B8's instead? Or are these the last of the Volvos for the moment?Maladjusted wrote:Last B7's

How many more new B7s/B8s will Virginia be getting before other depots start getting new buses?
