Wednesday 3 April 2013 (1351) – ‘New bus for London’ LT2 (LT61 BHT) one of the eight NBfL prototypes operated by Arriva London on London Buses contracted service 38 seen stuck in traffic in New Oxford Street. Built by Wrightbus the buses are hybrid powered and the engine goes to rest during these periods thus reducing emissions and exhaust. The open rear platform, supervised by an attendant, allows passengers to freely board and alight when the bus is held up like this and so passengers are not ‘trapped’ on board when they could otherwise get of and maybe walk to their onward destination. During off peak times the rear doors are permanently closed and locked and the bus operated by the driver only passengers entering by the front doors and leaving by the centre doors.
There were 1000 Wright NBFL buses delivered for London service which carried fleet numbers LT1 to LT1000. The buses carried registration numbers in the Northern Ireland LTZ series:
LT1-900 (LTZ 1001-1900)
LT901-999 (LTZ 2101-2199)
LT1000 (LTZ 1000)
However, some of the early deliveries (LT1-8, LT10-12 and LT16) initially carried standard style English registrations although were later re-registered:
LT1 (LT61 AHT) to LTZ 1001 in November 2015 (new April 2012)
LT2 (LT61 BHT) to LTZ 1002 in June 2016 (new February 2012)
LT3 (LT61 CHT) to LTZ 1003 in October 2015 (new July 2012)

LT16 (LK13 FJN) to LTZ 1016 in September 2013 (new April 2013)
Thereafter new buses entered service from June 2013 onwards (LT9, LT13-15 then LT17 upwards) with LT1000 entering service in January 2018.
