So what's the reasoning behind ordering 9.0m Enviro 200 MMCs for the E10 after the West London Crossrail consultation said that it was going to get larger 60 capacity single deck buses? link

I'd be surprised if even a 10.4m makes it around the sharp turning.

I thought that the only problem was the roundabout at it's Islip Manor terminus. I'd guess that would be another reason why too 🤔 though last time I looked at it I wondered if even a 9.3m could get around.

I believe the roundabout was being adjusted so that 10.5m single deckers can fit in it.

Another question about the E10’s MMCs. Judging by the amount of vehicles there are combined with the E11’s, there’s only 9 for the E10 (so the old TVR) rather than 12 which will be the TVR of the route when extended. So has this extension been cancelled or will more MMCs arrive when the date of extension has been confirmed?

So has this extension been cancelled or will more MMCs arrive when the date of extension has been confirmed? A lot depends on when the extension goes ahead (if it goes ahead), if it is 12 months away then probably depends on K1 tender result (which has a few old buses so would need a part new fleet regardless)

Just gone past a 969 and the bus was very busy, certainly not what I was expecting.
