What will happen to the 34s VWHs? 10 of them are due to move to the 460, not sure about the rest.

I don't even think that's going to happen, the 460s will most likely used the VWHs from the 6 and 52 pvr cuts. Some of the 34s VWHs will remain at PB for the 125, however a few should transfer to HT for the 271

I suspect the 34's VWH's will simply convert other PB routes - there has been a long standing rumour that Metroline want to fully deck the 84 again and offload the DE's by using existing PB TE's to convert the 34.

According to the weight sticker on TEH1227 it weighs 18000kgs instead of 11800kgs.

What will happen to the 34s VWHs? I expect them to remain at PB to cover the 125's extension, and convert the 317 so Metroline can get rid of their older TEs at PB. They could even convert the 231 too, I think it makes more sense to keep the VWHs there and use them on other routes to ensure PB have a fully EuroVI fleet rather than cling on to a few VMHs.

Otherwise it’s quite an extension for the 12 to operate from PB

Route W8 and 231 are mainly VMH/VWH today. Route 263 is using mostly newer TEs. Route 317 is all 13 reg TEs plus 1 VWH.

X4 VWHs on the 390! Thought they might have had more spare buses now the 24 had gone.

Weren't the BYDs only ever excess spares at Willesden?

Weren't the BYDs only ever excess spares at Willesden? A good while ago yes, but then AC lost VWH's to PA which effectively cut down how many were in this role.
