You just need to look below the existing RATP numbers, for example BCE47001 is now 38290
thats not as bad as i thought
basically just the SC system
???? why are there fleetcodes for the tempos etc
ew
That will be old RATP codes before they were withdrawn in 2019
horrible fleetcodes
DEs -> 443__ SDEs -> 443/449/451/__ DDE -> 455__ BME -> 488__ DLE -> 447/455/456__ MCM -> 495__ MCL -> 303__ DXE -> 456__ DME -> 456__ BE -> 489/488__ ADE -> 327__ VDW -> 361__ ADH -> 391/389__ VH -> 348/347__ VHR -> 392__ VMH -> 349__ WH -> 357__ OME -> 395__ BCE -> 382/3/4/5__
Should be correct
im so pissed that bustimes have already started changing it
ew.
jus saw
?
?
busifier is going to have a field day with all these changes
pls keep the old ones
nobody will know these fleet codes that’s actually so sad
i don’t have them saved locally
cuz im finally memorizing them
the changes have already been made
try searching a ratp fleet number
bustimes is the only one changing it
i was gna say its kinda easy cuz u can refer it to first's regional operations but the problem is outside of london, e200mmcs are 67XXX not 449XX
they are gonna be acting like stagecoach now 💀
nothing is easy when it’s just digits
so that's probs gna show off how this will pan out
true
i dont get why they are changing them now
cuz the garages especially edgware are gonna take forever
they have only just started putting the new logos on
stagecoach ain’t even that bad
because you learnt the fleetcodes over a long period of time
first london just changed theirs
and it's going to take ages to get used to it
yh exactly
its bare jarring

-60 min (early)
because lvf is separate to bustimes mate
ik
so-
oh
why is it still doing an hour gap in the timezone tf
why the fuck
so obvs they have just changed it themselves
are they acting like stagecoach
or maybe it is genuinely 1hr early
a person who thinks all the time
yh the bustimes owner fixed it on his end so it might glitch with yours now
or maybe u could check the aimed and estimated arrival

its only that website
no other source
Know what os real
the fleet code changes
is*
is*
cuz the only source is that one website
fuck you both
which may be a reliable source
Dans just a copycat
Fairs
Yh
Wait so if First are changing the fleets when do you think it’s going to be done by?
take a guess mate
no it’s not
and that source is just a website for bus pics
idk that’s why i asked sir
we all knew this was meant to happen since they acquired
tomorrow
no tfl official
what
ok
wtf do you need a tfl official for
tfl officials dont decide fleet numbers
the operator does
why the FUCK should TFL officialise that
oh sorry lemme just call tfl up and ask
im sure the company send it to TFL and then they approve it, no?
no
only thing tfl keeps track of is reg plates
that’s why when u file complaints u only get asked for reg plates
like if u put wrong registration plate
huh
Garage: [V] Stamford Brook
Cavendish Road - Shepherd's Bush Station
Good Service
im sure the company dont just make their own choices without TFL knowing
It is real
probably don’t yh
uh
Just trust me
tfl do not keep track of fleet numbers
right.
guaranteed i can file an FOI right now or request the tech forum to add fleet numbers to their data feed
they’ll say they keep no track of the fleet numbers
bold of u to assume i even know the current ones 😭😭
😂😂
i mean why would they fake this
It is reliable
The person who runs that site has contacts with high ups in many companies
And he works for NXWM as well
The training fleet is yet to get new FNs
fairs
what is nxwm?
national xpress west midlands
ah alr
It's reliable dw
yes
Look outside of the M25 bubble can you please
over fleetcodes 😭
valid crashout blud
never
^
its so much easier to remember a lettering system so then you can atleast distinguish the bus type
5 digit numbers is such a harder thing to remember
44348 is harder imo than DE20193
fuck the letters as long as it isn’t like random numbers after the main bit i’m fine with it
i feel as if it’s easier now for someone who has no clue abt RATP/FLN to learn them now
that’s jus my opinion tho 🤷♂️
It’s a bit of a shame they didn’t bring back the original FLN prefix codes
Like DML/DMV etc
easier for a sc veg
harder for anyone else who usually use the letter fleet codes
Yh
It took me a while to memorise them, now this..
People with Ratp as their locals will understand the frustration
^^
can't even remember my favourite vehicles now cuh the fleetcodes r so weird
only way is with plates
I just don't even see the point of changing them tbh
Ratp fleet codes were dead easy
I still think even if they were crap codes they are so much easier to navigate
I'm getting lost with all these 44730s and 48864
i barely even knew the ratp ones now first r coming in with ts
like why is 3## EVs and 4## is flipping Enviro 200s
I cant bro
idk what the new ones are
like mmcs are now within the same number bracket (dle and dxe are 456)
It's so annoying
As having Ratp for my local for 10 years I'm not gonna get used to this any time soon
Ok sir 🫡
what i’m sayin 😭
😭 😭
ok but stagecoach have that aswell
Ik that, I don't have stagecoach in my area, barely been on stagecoach buses
learn it then
^
& i’m a new stagecoach resident and i know all the codes now
it ain’t even that hard to memorise it
Ok fine
I love how @nocturne stirrup acts so hard on this server but other servers completely different
??
yh badman @nocturne stirrup
what(??
i’m the exact same across everything 😭
he tagged me
OH
same point applies tho
ur the exact same in every server asw 😭
top 5 moments im not proud to be server owner 💀🙏
why
chat history is aids
whos gonna tell bro? 😭
huh
@timber horizon shut up
yo fuck u man
fuck ur blinds
sn
😭😭 jokin bro
.
@elfin geyser
😭😭😭😭😭😭
are they not changing them then?
they just got rid of the letters here
Probably later on.
bustimes already has most of the fleetcodes sorted, this is all thats left
Those are withdrawn
So no point
nevermind then
so thats the fleet sorted, just needs to have them on the buses themselves
40304 and the other Kingston University buses aren’t withdrawn. 40304 has a new FN but it was reverted
Yeah they’re all withdrawn. I just haven’t been able to remove them because I don’t know where they’ve gone to just yet
well VH45119 is @ RP dead
20120 & 124 im aware are sitting at the dumping ground? I think.
the dumping ground💀 this isnt tracy beaker
So NC?
whatever its called 😭
the one Twickernam right?
NC is Twickenham, code came from the days when it was with NCP Challenger
ah
It's fake
A driver just said
They have not heard anything from management
All they are changing are vh's
To vhl for long
And Vhs for short
that's bare long
We can wait till proper confirmation
yeah
It’s not
The source used is extremely reliable
Drivers are the last people to know if anything is even happening
Ok
Exactly
