I drove 2004, 2498, 9001, 9487, 9488, 9411 and 9412 over the weekend.
9488 has been de-doostyfied! The programming to make the fuel pump lazy has been completely flushed out of the system, making the acceleration responsive. Its speed limiter has been increased to 42mph and it has a very watered down version of TopoDyn allowing it to rev to 1800rpm. I can only assume the drivers of Beddington Cross kicked up a big stink given what is usually on the 109. Although 9487 has also had the limiter relaxed a bit, it's still taking up to 20 seconds for the bus to accelerate after applying the throttle.
9412 was unusual. Sometimes the acceleration was fully unrestricted, other times it was heavily subdued. I don't think it is long for service. 9411 was better.

TLB refers to both routes E10 & E11 gaining 9.0m Enviro 200-MMCs now. So much for the upgrade of route E10 to larger buses. As Metroline suddenly receive longer buses than intended for route 393, Abellio are suddenly due to receive shorter buses for route E10 than initially chosen. E10 failed the route test on several occasions with London United and Abellio with the longer buses of various lengths.

Unlikely as it's no longer officially allocated to any route, nor I imagine is it ever used as a float on any TfL routes. The iBus has definitely been removed and a lot of drivers will refuse to drive it as there's no other way provided to radio control or the NMCC. It causes drama when used on rail replacement, though I think it's just an excuse personally. Few drivers ever actually liked the Volvos.

Having one fitted (and in working order) should be just as important as a fire extinguisher.

Once the C2 officially gets with drawn will the rest of 94 batch for Abellio get withdrawn The C2 has nothing to with any 94* Enviro 400's - the C2 was allocated 95* series Enviro 400's until they went for refurb and since then, it's been allocated 24* series Enviro 400H's.
