I would have thought metroline would have lost the 232 on tender anyway.

I would move the 206 to AC like you said and move the 260 to PV because i think the 460 and 260 would be better operated based at the same garage.

its true but would perivale operate Volvos and it wouldnt make sense moving a Route with a PVR of 22 or so vehicles a day to an all ready packed PV base, part of the reason for the 297 moving to Perivale East, the 206 could just move to Cricklewood as it is only around 10mins maximum from Kilburn Park Station.

Its a shame for Metroline but the again they operated it successfully for 7 years, but with the whole NW situation Metroline have to think fast because TFL are watching mate and they have to be very precise with thier garage choices for the NW Routes

You're having a laugh In my experience it normally takes around 15-20 mins minimum due to the high volume of traffic along the A5.

it is true Insert Coin, this i abit of topic but i remmeber i think it was 2006 and i managed to see a TA 6xx from Cricklewood on the 140 i didnt have a camera back then and was driving in my mothers car does anyone know what thats about? Moving back to NW maybe the 206 may just move to perivale along with the 232.

Ok I don't know what time you travel along the A5, probably during the evening or night-time when it is quick, but during the daytime it takes significantly longer. Yes I too remember that 6-series TA on the 140 - I seem to remember a TP ending up at HD too.

wow you remmember tha too thats cool i think becuase it wasny widly spoken about, the TP was TP 382 its was up there from July/August 2008 right up till December its a shame no really spoke about it, are the TPs at Brentford going to be stripped of thier PB, PV and W Badges due to the fact none of the garages need them now and they will be operating on the 237 permanently, I must add i do like those TPs they are so quiet and look good when you think about how old they are.

Yes I heard about it both on your own website as well as a brief mention in a LOTS TLB. I used to love those TPs but as of now I'm quite bored of them and they're starting to look a bit tired A good repaint and refurbishment of them is needed IMO, and it can't be too far away surely now that most of the TPLs have been done.

they will repaint them eventually probably in the summer when the new 237 contract begin Metroline have only repainted one TP that i know about www.londonbuspics.fotopic.net/p55928033.html but that TP is in the process of going into store which is very strange, also the VP fleet at Harrow is undergoing repaints with VP 320,325 330,617 and 623 done more details will be on my site when i restart it very soon

No idea but sometimes companies have their buses repainted into a plain livery and cleaned up before they are returned to the leasor (or is it the leasor who does this job themselves) . Would not explain why Metroline had it repainted into full livery though What do you mean "what has happened to it" - I don't see anything wrong with it It's still installed on those batch of TEs.
