What a year for the Loop

On this day last year, the Loop converted to Double-Deckers using E400s which had worked the 1/1A. There have been a few odd workings for example Loops not on the Loop and most of the 5 selected Loops that are featured, are on other routes however, each of the branded E400s, were 1 of 8 to carry the branding. The style of the branding didn't change to what the E200s which were on the route previously and the E400s have the pink front and Loop vinyl's on the rear and the sides. 

When the route converted, there were 7 E400s branded up for it (19648/9, 19650/1/3/5/9) the 8th would eventually be 19652. However, Doubles haven't always been available and the odd Single-Decker would appear on it sometimes mainly the Single when there is one on it, is an E300 either ADL or Scania. 
Single-Deckers still appear on the route when there isn't enough Doubles as demonstrated by E300 27574 (GX58 GKE) on the Anti-Clockwise orbit recently.

Loop 19659 (OU60 CVA) is seen away from the Loop on route 5A.


19653 (SP60 DPV) is seen appearing on its former route the 1/1A.

19650 (SP60 DTN) is seen taking an outing on route 5.

One on the Loop 19652 (SP60 DPU) is seen on the Anti-Clockwise orbit.

19655 (SP60 DPY) is seen on the clockwise orbit.
