I would guess the 302/460, as the 460 technically now has the allocated, since the 15 reg VWHs bought for it in 2015 are now at HT and the 52 also took some of the G3 VWHs off the 302 I believe. Metroline also seem to like refurbing buses once they get to a certain age it seems

Metroline also seem to like refurbing buses once they get to a certain age it seems I thought the same, they generally do their refurbs at 7 years old (obviously an exception in this case being around 6). Im fully expecting the 12-reg VWs to get their refurbs this year I would say there’s been a couple of occasions where they’ve refurbished for specific routes, the 237/E2 being two and I believe some or all of the 12-reg TEs that went to PB for the 231 have as well. EDIT: just checked VWH1362’s history and it’s just returned from a 6-ish month absence, which could means it was involved in an accident, so if for example the front had to be replaced they may as well have refurbished the whole bus while they were at it. Maybe @tp446 can yet again come to the rescue and shed some light

Maybe @tp446 can yet again come to the rescue and shed some light I don't think this one was involved in an accident, it had a full refurb and generally they only repaint the new panels like the front of VWH1364 which had an accident a while ago and only the front was repainted.

DW227 & 10133 now refurbished.
This now just leaves DW215, DW217, DW229 & DW230 still needed to be refurbished at GY.
EDIT: SE115-117 are all being refurbished at HD Trim for the 396.

Must say, I am looking forward to all the GY DWs being refurbished, they look stunning in my opinion and some have had mechanical things done as I have noticed an increase in speed throughout journeys on a few of them. I am also looking forward to GAL running the 396, it current has a whatever is free allocation and them awful Versa (my opinion) so it will be nice to see E200s run it and possibly and whatever new buses the 364 gets. I doubt the 57 reg examples or esteems will be blinded for the 396, though it would be nice.

SE111 appears to be a loan SI - RR, shouldn't be permanent, SE115-119 are for the 396 unless not all the buses will be refurbished in time.

I might be wrong but I think they will have fit inserts / new blinds to some existing single deckers until the new 364 buses arrive otherwise allocations will need to be very restricted / tight for the 396.

se111 has also made its way to RR, this could be a loan, yes but I can see potentially that they may have another transfer as a long term loan from SI until 364 new buses come as I thought the same would happen with the 147s E400s with the 5,104 and 101 all not being blinded on there but it didnt.

That's slightly different because there is much more scope for spares. For example if the 147 needs spares it can use any bus transferred in after the 101 joined the same for the 101 can use the 5 batch.
Anyway we will see what happens.
