Just heard that the 267 will be getting Enviro 400 MMC instead of LTs. Reason being that it will take too long for the engineers to get trained on them. 345 will convert instead. LTs wouldn't have been allowed on the 345 anyway due to street infrastructure issues at Fulham Road in which the 14 and 414 both failed on. Perhaps you should've said 45 or 344 instead ;D Guessing that's the left going into south ken? As 211 is fine.

Nah I think he’s playing you Ahh,d*mn it On a serious note, the driver definitely said that and yes, I did ask why it wouldn’t go to BC, the driver said: “Management believe that QB would be a better place as they want to ensure E10 is put in a high standard garage, plus BC is full. I bet you a shoutout/photo if this is true.

Hmm,interesting news (Its after midday so the jokes have stopped haven't they?just double checking lol) What do they even mean by "high standard garage"All garages should have the same standards?

The high standard bit sounds like canteen talk, I don't think one garage will intentionally be let to decline in standards.

Just spoke to a K1 driver and he said the E10 is going to QB! He said “WS isn’t ready for E10, so they are sending it to QB temporary.” Shocking... I would have thought TF would be used.... The same driver that told you that 8065 will be scrapped yet it's safely tucked up with it's new owner

I think someone said Southall expected to open in August Probably manage with the 207, but will get tighter from 25 May (E11 gained) and 1 June (E10 gained) so could easily see some temporary moves then, pressure then eases (in wrong part of London) as 211 is lost from 29 June. So highly likely something will be working from elsewhere in June

The 207 will have a PVR of 29 instead of 28 come Saturday which why 2401 has been drafted in I presume.
