Default Hybrid buses

Single decks are on the 360 (South Ken - Elephant) and the double deck
is normally scheduled for the 141 (London Bridge - Palmers Green) but I
believe it is away for further mods at present.

An ethanol powered Scania double deck is scheduled for use on the 148
but it's not been passed for operation yet.


From LOTS News Sunday 24 June

1) The Wrights Hybrid d/d HEV1 with Arriva was taken back to Wrights at
Ballymena on 18th June for mods to the system that keeps the traction
battery pack cool and which needs to be replaced by a more robust
system. It is unlikely to be back in London much before the end of
July.
