Oh dear, that's very poor. I feel for the people who rely on the U9 and have no alternatives. I presume Abellio will be punished Obviously they'll be getting the usual on-time and lost mileage deductions. Route is 1bph on Sundays with one bus, so it's a huge shame they haven't been able to cancel a duty on a more frequent route to cover the U9 at an earlier point That would be plausible, assuming there's another driver available that knows the route.

U9 running again as the 3rd duty of the day has started Indeed, apparently Eid has impacted on the availability of jobs and not many drivers at WS know the U9 which resulted in the situation arising.

GW allocations are quite interesting. They've been a lot more flexible than I was expecting, however, I'm quite enjoying the 14-reg E400Hs on the 207 which are allocated to the E1 (2444-51) meanwhile the E1 is often lumbered with the boring 12-reg E400s. Unsurprisingly, there E5/E10/E11 are sharing a common user pool of the one-door Enviro 200 MMCs. I have to say, I'm really liking GW's flexible allocations as they make Abellio's West London routes far more interesting

How many LTs were released from the 159?

8787 & 8789 - 93 for the 490 along with 8806- 15 for the H25 (Even though 8806 is with the C10 atm) all look smart with new Abellio interior and full refurbishment. I assume the YY64 reg E200s will be refurbished upon arriving at TF.

How many LTs were released from the 159? Presumably none as the cut back is not officially due until later on in the year. At the present moment the day 159 is curtailed at Oxford Circus in relation to roadworks in the Westminster area. The night element still runs through to Marble Arch. Similar practice is with the 12, the day element curtailing at Whitehall with the night element running through to Oxford Circus.

I assume the YY64 reg E200s will be refurbished upon arriving at TF. I would assume 8787 would head back to BC once 8831-8843 start arriving or 8788 is finally returned from GW. The 130 is getting a PVR increase soon so I'd imagine extra buses will be required.

The 64 reg have started to get new blinds which is odd seeing as they are about to transfer to TF, I wonder if 8777-86 will transfer instead with the 64 reg going onto the 433. The 12 reg have just been refurbished as well so would not require refurb upon transfer.

The 12 reg have just been refurbished as well so would not require refurb upon transfer. No chance of that happening for a number of reasons. Firstly despite now having the blinds for the 433, none of that batch have lasted a full day on it, which makes me think that they are not permitted to operate on the route. Also 8777-8786 were refurbished as part of the 433 contract so should remain on the route until 2022 barring any swaps and they are Euro V whereas 8831-8843 are Euro VI and don't require conversion if a green bus corridor were to start near Heathrow Airport

However, someone reported that a few of the 407s buses had been reblinded in the white blinds thread.
