Assuming I am correct ( big assumption) that the vehicles allocated to the R9 are Enviro 200s 731-733, can I nominate this route for a thread on least use of allocated vehicles? What other routes spring surprises every day?

C3, which should be using the negotiated[1] 12 reg E40Ds, istead generally having older variants on route.
[1] - was awarded as new hybrids contract then switched around with Enviros from the 211

I can understand the C2 but I would have thought the 344 would gain the necessary number of hybrids seeing as it's now a new and existing hybrid contract. |

I think N16 wins hands down - allocated LTs, but instead they appeared less than 10 times on the route at all!  |

The 58 sees lower numbers of 10-reg VNs than it should. One can argue its buses are being refurbed but before then, VN37842-37864 is normally swallowed up & used by the many high PVR routes at Lea Interchange; prodominantly the 25. Route 368 actually doesn't see much of T169-179; and after a quick check of LVF to see why that is, I've just discovered that most of its buses are branded for the 150! As a result, the 368 sees VLAs, DWs and Ts that are not contracted for the route. I'll leave Eastlondoner62 to mention his pride and joy, route 396. I've no idea of what buses are actually allocated to the route anyway!  |

Apologies, I was trying to remember from memory without the sheet in front of me - my sheet actually says that the 12 reg are just allocated to the C2 with the 61 reg hybrids on the 344 and the C3 regaining it's original 64 reg hybrids  |

That said 25310 is actually on the 396 today and 25313 was on this morning Routes 62 and 145 take turns claiming BK's E40D MMCs, usually one is full of them and the other is full of old style ones. The 215 is another that springs to mind, always full of E40Hs while the 11reg E40Ds are out on other routes such as the 179 and 275, and will probably join the party on the 257 from Saturday. |

The 303 which was retained back in 2013 with Cadets now mainly sees ENLs and PDLs since the ex Stagecoach examples were bought and the 05 reg PDLs transferred over, the 305 being a similar story but uses mainly the 05 reg PDLs

Route 69 varies from time to time but some days over half the allocation is VN.

Quite often the 425 has none of it's allocated 13-reg DNs on the route, or only has one or two. LI seem to send their VNs and DNs wherever they want. If only they did the same for the VHs and MVs...

You're right ๐๐ just did abit of looking about and T68-83 are for the 173, T169-179 officially for the 368 and T180-193 for the 150. I knew the 150 had the 60 reg ๐๐๐ |
