Are VMHs and VWHs allowed to go on the 95 since it had its rerouting? I only see TEHs, TEs and DEs on it. The TEs that do go on 95 99% of the time have their mirror arms changed so they position right against the body on the nearside. VMH/VWHs are prioritised on 92/282/E9 so there isn’t really times when one of them are spared.

Is the W routes (210, C11 & 143) still intended for Electrics along with the 83 & 297 which are long overdue? What is the plan for the E2/8 in connection with the 263 taking the electrics? 210,C11 and 143 still on current contract tender until June-September. Will be amazed personally if brand new electrics go into service this year. More so when 316 still awaiting its allocation.

If the 113 are using the 297s WDEs and the 297 has the tvr of 18 and the 113 has the tvr of 23. How would the 113 will be fully converted will it take some of the 83 batch to top up?

It’s probably the best to put TEs for E1 considering the fact it’s a type already at G as you said and I don’t think G wants to introduce another They were using VW's only a few months ago at G - it wouldn't be an issue. Which route were they for - I can't seem to recall any VWs at G except for the 607 back in the day (207 had Scanias).

When HZ closed in 2017 and route 207 moved to G, it took the 427's 10 reg VWs (ex-VNs) with it, as well as using some native 12 reg examples. Thus VWs had been used from 2017-19 on the 207 as well as more recently across all double deck routes at the garage.

The 113's own batch hasn't arrived yet. I'm sure this is just a temporary allocation until the charging facilities are sorted out at PV.

A couple were used as refurb floats recently IIRC but as others said, the 207 used them whilst at G. Don't get me wrong, TE's would make sense but Metroline have long preferred Volvos over anything else and I see that continuing with TE's offloaded over VW's whenever they can

Just shows how operators have different preferences.

Just shows how operators have different preferences. It depends on how they view the bigger picture. GAL have taken the view that VWs are more expensive to run due to higher fuel costs. However it’s generally accepted Volvo’s are more reliable than E400s, so Metroline probably take the view that more reliable vehicles offset the extra fuel costs. I mean it always comes down to money so Metroline must somehow be able to make Volvo’s more economically viable
