Is it confirmed that the 28 will get B9TLs? Literally cannot wait to test out the N28 but the cynic in me says it will use Hybrids as the N31 but time will tell. The N31 is at PV and is on a contract that requires hybrids to operate on it. Oh I thought it ran from WJ or is that just the normal 31? Would like to see a B9TL on that for sure!

Any updates on the BZL demonstrator meant to be running on 43? Surprised it isn't yet in service given GAL introducing their BZL onto 213, with 43s announcement of having the demonstrator being in advance

So does the 206 have a specific VMH allocated to it on paper? Their are 17 VMHs and the 31 has the pvr of 15 so does mean the 31 has just one spare and the remaining VMH is allocated to the 206?

Not necessarily, the VMH is probably interworked with the 31 so 31 still has 2 spares for the majority of the day - presumably, 15 buses out in peak, 16th bus does 206 journey and then usually stays out (certainly when I've looked on LVF, it seemingly does but happy to be corrected) whilst post peak, 31 drops below 15 buses

Does the N28 parallel most of the N31? I am asking cos the timetables are together on www.londonbusroutes.net/times/N028N031.htm. WJ currently have no night routes so could I clarify if the N28 will run from there as well or another garage like how the N31 does to the normal 31? AC could probably run the N28?

The N28 and N31 parrel each other from Kensington High Road to Camden Town. The only reason why N31 is at PV is to create space.

Goodness me, it's all go at Holloway. Just seen a company post, which says the 31 moves to HT from 4 May.

What I think could happen is the 31 moves to HT for space at WJ for the 28/N28 and the Diesel B9TLs go from the W7 unless the 31 takes EVs allowing the 28 to use Hybrid B5LHs if the contract is changed?
Just speculation

Just speculation If Metroline are type training the WDE at HZt with intention of putting them on the W7 then the W7 will EVs not the 31.

Delays on the 210 etc? Delays at a few garages really with them unable to enter service yet on the 83, 297, E2 and E8.
