An year since the first 60 reg entered service

 



It's nearly coming up to an year since the first Ex Tayway Enviro400s entered service time does fly by so fast! I remember they entered service still in Tayway 73 branding or were looking sorry for themselves by looking really scruffy. Earlier this year the whole batch were branded for the 1 to convert the 1/1A to Double Deck operation but have appeared off route quite an bit allowing some of the Single Deckers onto the routes. This post focuses on the first batch (19648/9, 19650/1/2/3). Don't want to make this really wordy as I want to focus on the main post.

 

The first one I ever saw in service 19648 (SP60 DTF) seen on the 1A in the late winter sunshine

This is another of the first ones that entered service 19649 (SP60 DTK) also seen in the late winter sun on the 1

Later on in the year 19650 (SP60 DTN) is seen in the Summer sun appearing on the Eastbourne Loop this first entered service still in Tayway 73 branding.

19651 (SP60 DPO) is seen last month on an really rare working and I sadly didn't get the blinds in.

The first one I went on in service and it still had Tayway 73 branding when it first entered service 19652 (SP60 DPU) seen on the 1A.

 The last photo shows 19653 off route making an appearance on the 51/251/252 recently as the photo was taken earlier this week.

They are known to appear off route quite an bit and this one first entered service rather scruffy and was still partly branded I can remember 19653 (SP60 DPV) seen on the 51/251/252
