Feel like that can happen to WJ if they keep losing anymore Routes let's hope that they don't lose the 187, 226 or 295 in this years Tendering Programme Is there a need for the 187 to be converted to double decker, because if so, Metroline could try to retain the 187 with compliant VWHs from the 34? Can the 187 even take DDs The 187 can take DDs in fact when it was operated by Thorpes and London Traveller they would put the odd DD on the route.

The 95, 112 and 487 could do with being converted to double deck perhaps the VWHs could be used to convert them.

I'd if the 487s contract isn't extended and is up for tender plus the route can't take longer vehicles due to the navigating problems in Park Royal I can see TFL coverting the route to double deck operation for the next contract

I would love RATP to grab it from either RP or SO but I think a Metroline retain is the most likely outcome.

The VWHs that will lost by the 34 should stay at PB as they can get rid of the remaining 2008 TE and can be used on the 231. Maybe they can also be used on the 317 which allows the VMH to head elsewhere?

Well if they stay at PB, means they don't have to move anywhere, maybe the Ex-First at G can go if the VWH head there?

Not only that it was DD, so I can see no reason why it could not become DD again.

The BDEs (for the 43) and OMEs (for the 134) are being built right now and delivery shall be expected by June How long will it take for PB to install the electric equipment?

I hope there isn't a delay in their introduction to service like the 46. The 46's delay was down to a problem with the initial location for the charging equipment so I can't see the same issue at PB arising personally.
