Hopefully the 60’s or 412’s batch will be started next. I would imagine the 41 and 121’s batch will be refurbished at Enfield especially given that the 121 is based there Rather the DWs done somewhere else other than The Trim so they retain the black headlight surrounds. I’d rather they were done at the trim, gives the TC DW fleet a bit of variety . I’m hoping T279-T287 should be done at the trim

I’m hoping T279-T287 should be done at the trim Here hoping the TC DWs follow on from the DT examples ... rather The Trim concentrated on Ts, whether they be from the North or South.

I’m hoping T279-T287 should be done at the trim Also I think the pre WTA buses look better done at the trim and last longer, not sure why but the ones done at Enfield (Pre WTA) look sluggish again after a few months, the 175s batches starting to look worn but then again it is DX. The all red surrounds look better on the manually blinded pre 2011 buses if I’m honest whereas I prefer the black surrounds with the power blinded buses but that’s just personal preference.

Interestingly, WVL510 has been refurbished New 127 contract? Has it kept its black surrounds or lost them. I know they get rid of the black surrounds on G2 at the trim. E220 looks to has take its place for refurb.

E220 looks to has take its place for refurb. Sounds like it will be allocated to the 127 to me, especially now that they're being released from the 405. It has kept its black light surrounds, surprisingly!

I still think the 175 batch looks good, its the ones that haven't been touched ie.e DW300 series ones that look ropey.

Whats the 127’s allocation looking like so far then in terms of vehicles?

Whats the 127’s allocation looking like so far then in terms of vehicles? WVL366 (60-reg.) , E215 - E223 (61-reg.), WVL509/510 (63-reg.) - 12 Buses, 7 more needed.

E218 refurbished, saw it drive past my 434 in Coulsdon this afternoon on its way back from Eastleigh. With E216 and E220 now away for refurb and none of E221-223 missing I would assume WVL509, if it’s away for the next few days will have taken its place
