Correct, but they do operate seven days a week. Incidentally, I believe I read somewhere that the 15 has the lowest actual mph, as opposed to timetabled, of any central London bus route, even for the Routemaster workings, so don't necessarily expect to wait 20 mins max for one to turn up!IIRC they are short workings from Trafalgar Square to Tower Hill starting after 09:30 with no evening service.
Have they put the proper opening windows back in?The refurbishment on these is brilliant too. Almost original inside now. Highly recommended.
No, but everything else is spot on.Have they put the proper opening windows back in?
No, but everything else is spot on.
Except the engine ?

My original post:
I am sure they have fluorescent tubes instead of tungsten bulbs. I think the moquette is Tfl blue and not the original pattern. No fog of cigarette smoke either. But it is good that they are still in service.
Thank you. That is good. The last one I travelled on early last year was not one of those to the best of my recollection, and before that was a few years ago out to Kensington.Four have been returned to as original condition as possible, with the original deep red moquette and tungsten light bulbs. Unfortunately the quarter-drop wind-down windows could not be sourced.

Saw one today. The yellow of the tungsten bulbs is much more welcoming than the glare of tubes or leds.Four have been returned to as original condition as possible, with the original deep red moquette and tungsten light bulbs. Unfortunately the quarter-drop wind-down windows could not be sourced.
