Go-Ahead London has begun introducing brand new Wrightbus Electroliner double deckers on Route 230 as part of wider preparations for the launch of Route BL1 Bakerloop later this month. The move sees existing vehicles from the 230 sent away for seat moquette changes and full Bakerloop wrapping while the 230 itself transitions to the all electric Electroliner fleet.
The Bakerloop brand part of the expanding Superloop network is designed to create orbital links across London. For the BL1 Go Ahead is rolling out a new brown livery featuring the line’s branding route diagram and interior upgrades.
