8833 returned to service yesterday after three weeks out on route 490. Think this may be the latest of the ex 407 E200's to return from refurb. Looks as though 8834 is currently being done

Not entirely sure why 8843 has been retained for route 130's PVR increase when it could have been straight-swapped for 8787 at TF and join 8831-8842 on route 490. 8787 was also refurbished around the same time as when the 130 was taken over by Abellio in the first place (the 433's contract was renewed in May 2017) so doesn't need any work doing to it, unlike 8843 which should in theory be due for a refurbishment being 5 years old, unless it gets refurbished against the 201 contract.
The 130 doesn't pass through any Green Bus Zones too so why Abellio didn't think about this is beyond me. I could see it happen eventually though once the 490's refurbs are near completion.

Presumably due to the lower cost of not having to transfer a vehicle in both directions, 8843 stayed put

I was under the impression that the 278 would use buses released from the 427's cutback, but 49 sounds about right for those four routes when considering their PVRs. I presume they'll be coded 2006-54.
