regal void
elfin geyser
#

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

nocturne stirrup
muted fiber
#

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

elfin geyser
#

its bare jarring

can i ask how we know this is real

#

cuz

nocturne stirrup
#

wdym*

elfin geyser
#

its only that website

elfin geyser
#

no other source

muted fiber
elfin geyser

the fleet code changes

cuz the only source is that one website

#

Wait so if First are changing the fleets when do you think it’s going to be done by?

elfin geyser
#

i don't believe this tbh

#

cuz

#

it's so random

muted fiber
elfin geyser
#

and that source is just a website for bus pics

nocturne stirrup
muted fiber
#

we all knew this was meant to happen since they acquired

elfin geyser
#

no tfl official

nocturne stirrup
nocturne stirrup
muted fiber
#

wtf do you need a tfl official for

#

tfl officials dont decide fleet numbers

#

the operator does

nocturne stirrup
spiral warren
halcyon ice
#

im sure the company send it to TFL and then they approve it, no?

muted fiber
#

no

#

only thing tfl keeps track of is reg plates

#

that’s why when u file complaints u only get asked for reg plates

nocturne stirrup
#

like if u put wrong registration plate

right.

muted fiber
#

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

onyx coyote

#

its true

#

most likely

heavy forge
#

i mean why would they fake this

tight minnow
#

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

#

never

#

i mean kinda

#

but did anyone even know the originals anyway like

inland pawn
#

Them new fleetcodes are shocking

#

I understand his frustration

nocturne stirrup
#

never

heavy forge
#

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

nocturne stirrup
#

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 🤷‍♂️

tight minnow
#

Like DML/DMV etc

velvet shell
#

harder for anyone else who usually use the letter fleet codes

elfin geyser
#

It took me a while to memorise them, now this..

#

People with Ratp as their locals will understand the frustration

heavy forge
#

^^

#

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

elfin geyser
#

exactly

#

i will miss dme, dle and de 😢

muted fiber
#

Ratp fleet codes were dead easy

thorny wave
#

Agreed

#

Icl I just know I’m going to mix it with Stagecoach’s fleet codes

elfin geyser
#

im gonna just say de, dle, dme ect. infront of the new codes

#

e.g

#

de44350

tight minnow
#

DML* rather than DE* for me

#

the DMEs would also be DMLs anyway

heavy forge
#

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

twin pulsar
#

like why is 3## EVs and 4## is flipping Enviro 200s

heavy forge
#

I cant bro

#

idk what the new ones are

#

like mmcs are now within the same number bracket (dle and dxe are 456)

elfin geyser
#

It's so annoying

#

As having Ratp for my local for 10 years I'm not gonna get used to this any time soon

heavy forge
#

same

#

just looking at my local

#

I cant tell what's what

elfin geyser
#

Yh

#

Also

#

The codes remind of bus stop codes

#

So it's quite confusing

muted fiber
#

#

i complained yesterday but just get over it now bro

elfin geyser
#

Ok sir 🫡

Ik that, I don't have stagecoach in my area, barely been on stagecoach buses

nocturne stirrup
#

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

elfin geyser
#

I love how @nocturne stirrup acts so hard on this server but other servers completely different

nocturne stirrup

i’m the exact same across everything 😭

Oh

tight minnow
regal void
#

bustimes already has most of the fleetcodes sorted, this is all thats left

elfin geyser
#

So no point

regal void
#

nevermind then

#

so thats the fleet sorted, just needs to have them on the buses themselves

tight minnow
elfin geyser
#

Oh

#

I mean the TfL ones

tight minnow
#

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
