I believe so, they should have all RATP routes and a few others - if I am correct all LT routes should be on them ( snowman , correct me please), Have FW reblinded all their LTs for the N27 and 211 yet? Firstly they are run from V (Stamford Brook) as for the N27 just LT's LTZ1149 and LTZ1150 are left to go one N27

Have FW reblinded all their LTs for the N27 and 211 yet? I might be wrong but why would they when these buses are moving later in the year. Still think its mad buses move for the 267 to Abelio and them buses move the other way for the 211 When the 10 was withdrawn and RATP knew the 27 cut was going ahead they reblinded all the LTs at V to have the the 9, 27, N27 and 211 on their blinds (I'd presume 148 and 267 too), I was wondering if RATP had done this for their LTs at FW and S too and if they had surely they would have done them at the same time as they did for V's LTs so all RATP's LTs may have the 27, N27 and 211 on their blinds. I think it would make sense to delay the start date of the 211's new contract so that it starts on the same day as the 27's and then V give QB a few more LTs to make up the 27's TVR rather than wasting time moving batches of LTs between V and QB

I believe all V LTs have the 148 and vice versa for S LTs. What I don't know is what 267 LTs have on the blinds.

What I don't know is what 267 LTs have on the blinds. It seems unlikely RATP would bother putting other routes on the 267s LT blinds. The close proximity of S and V means that if the 9/27/148 are short of LTs buses can easily be ferried between the two but FW is so much further away there'd be little point in bothering driving LTs all the way from FW to S/V when S and V have enough spare LTs between them. Vice versa, I think RATP realising moving LTs from S or V to FW is time consuming and don't bother. I saw an SP on the 267 not long ago which leads me to suggest that RATP would rather take the hit of breaking the LT allocation and provide a service as opposed to wasting time ferrying buses down to FW

Probaly have to borrow from QB which is even further than both S and V. If and it's a big "If" they win the 285 then it shouldn't be a problem.

Do Abellio have spare Enviro400s to move into TF as spares?

I wonder whether the Enivor 400s at BC will be released when the 407 converts to DD if so then one of them could move to TF as a spare However same could be said for any garage which has a few deckers whether they be LTs or not. Apart from the 211 Abellio are probably the best operator at keeping their LT routes free from conventional vehicles. The 159 has only had two strays ignoring that MMC that was on it for a trial, the 68 hasn't had any at all. Worst case scenario they can run a bus from QB to Hammersmith, they're going to be running buses from QB to the 27 anyway. Keeping one at TF for the off chance it "might" be needed is just going to be a waste, especially as you'll end to keep it roadworthy and it's hard to do that when there's no other decker routes in the garage to send it out on. You'll be spending money maintaining it every week when it may only get sent out once every few months.

Have 9487 and 9488 been converted to EuroVI?

On a side not 76 has never had conventional buses and that's the only LT route at NP which is impressive.
