With the 266 leaving Metroline from 7 December and the TAs now withdrawn. The 266 frees up 29 buses. I should imagine: TE905 - TE907 will be withdrawn. (58-reg) TEH915 - TEH919 will be withdrawn. (08/58-reg) TE1074 - TE1094 & TE1432 will be kept for the 210, 632 & 643. (10/60/62-reg) TEH1449 - TEH1467 move to G for route 282s new contract. (13-reg) TEH1222 & TEH1228 move to Edgware. (61-reg) what about the (60 reg) TEH1105-9 & TEH 1111-14 at HT current for route 271?

I think once the 52 gets its cut next month then there maybe not be any VP's in service.

Let down. They were plated as 331/2, but both subbed in the garage. Is it because people aren’t type trained? I could be wrong but these seem to be the first VWs that PB have? If they wanted to cover VWHs whilst they were gone I think sending TEs would’ve been a better option. I believe that was the case. One of the mentors was having a bash at it later on, and just couldn't work it out by himself. How we laughed when he found out that it was a non start anyway!

I wonder when the final two BDEs will enter service, and the OMEs will continue 🤔

(61-reg) The 282 will need all but 1 of the 13reg TEH batch, so I imagine one will stay at W for the 332's allocation. Unless Metroline give the 282 an extra spare, then keep the 61reg TEHs for the 332. I believe it was said on the Metroline thread that the LTs were blinded for the 332 due to the fact that the TEHs would all be going. I can see all 19 going to G and the 2 61 reg going to Edgware but we will have see how it plays out.

My personal view is that all the classic E400 TEHs will go with only MMC TEHs remaining for the 332. The 3 older E40”s should also go. W have enough 10/60/62 reg E400s for the 266, 632 & 643.

Oh, I forgot to explain that part, I believe the 240 will covert to TEH operation using the 2 spare from W, 1/2 already spare at EW and a fewTEHs from the 271. I was thinking about W when replying to your post about EW, sorry.

I was thinking about W when replying to your post about EW, sorry. I can see all the HT TEHs going to EW for the 240 (With the single spare bus already existent at EW going onto the 240) and the 2 TEHs coming in to replace sole 60 reg TE1093 and another just as a spare for the 292, as currently it doesn't have its full PVR (VW1204/1205 left to AH/SG) and the VWs keep taking periods off the road here and there, so a extra spare seems necessary here. Would also consolidate all the 60/61 reg under 1 roof, as they aren't really needed elsewhere.

I don't know what's up with metroline and their weight stickers but apparently VW1370 weighs 18600kgs , 1366 only weighs 12580 though.

The electric double deckers haven’t worked on the night services of the 43 & 134 yet, have they?
