To mark the upgrade of all the Irisbuses to Hanover LED displays, the bonus category for next month will be Irisbus Agora Lines with an LED display - but only where a photo doesn't already exist - and also Bus 301 in its AOA wrap. The full list will be published when the POTM topic for November is posted.
