This was the first numerical wise of the 285 batch so I would have thought it’s a permanent transfer. Not sure why TV have received two additional hybrids within a week. Is there an 85 PVR increase we don’t know about? I wonder if the VHs at TV are playing up, we’ve had a few SPs on the 85 lately and TV recently received an ADH. Obviously VH45183 has been out of action for two weeks but perhaps another VH at TV will be out for a while now. If only there were a PVR increase on the 85, that route is always busy and could really do with one There have been numerous occasions where the 85 is struggling due to ongoing road works (as a cycle route is being built along a big chunk of its route from Kingston-Roehampton Vale)

DE1118 Cricklewood to Greenford, on 95 Is it a visit or refurb cover or replacement for ex First 11 reg DEs? DE1902 seems to have done back the other way so looks like a replacement. Are these not the DEs that were originally due for the 95s new contract?

Are these not the DEs that were originally due for the 95s new contract? The 95 contract last year specified 11-reg E200s from 274 to be used. The buses that have moved over to G so far are from the 316 allocation.

The 95 contract last year specified 11-reg E200s from 274 to be used. The buses that have moved over to G so far are from the 316 allocation. These 10reg DEs are originally allocated to the 143 and C11, but swapped to the 232/316 due to the LEBZ. The 59reg DEs should eventually be upgraded to euro6 and return to the 316, with 10reg reverting to the C11. I assumed the loss of the 232 would withdraw the 08reg and some 58reg DEs at W, with its 10reg returning to the 143, but this may not be the case with some 10reg now moving to G. The 143 should be contractually allocated the 10reg rather than older DEs. Perhaps the 19reg DELs (393's order) will end up at W, enabling these 10reg DEs to be send to G. The 11reg ex-first DEs are slightly newer than 10reg, so Metroline must be planning to withdraw them soon once the 232 transfers.

According to the BUSES magazine SEL750 has already been sold (To a company called Callinan Coaches), with others seemingly out of use for a while, so looks like they are beginning to withdraw the SELs.

DE1130 and DE1134 W > G DE1898 and DE1908 G > W VW1280 to HD And VW1281 This is interesting, why would HD need more VWs? And these VWs are also supposed to be for the 81. A theory I have though is that these are loans and refurbs may start on the 13xx and 14xx VWs, as Metroline have been carrying out mass refurbs on their fleet recently.
