How things change - I remember when certain individuals wanted me banned from here for doing similar. I don't know why it was suddenly brought up when nearly every sunday someone copies and paste from LOTs and nothing gets mentioned. That is a bit different as what LOTS posts on their website is free for everyone to view but the TLB is a paid subscription magazine

This month's TLB reports that some VMHs on route 134 are earmarked for route 139. So, route 139 could use existing VMHs topped up with new ones. I notice that, whereas ex-First E200s are being replaced by indigenous examples, ex-First E400s are mainly staying put with indigenous ones withdrawn instead. The tender was won on the basis of using a mix of new and existing hybrid vehicles (VWHs ex-route 52 - upgraded to Euro VI). This may change of course, so VMHs could well end up being used. Have I missed something, when was it confirmed the 139 would be getting the 52s VWHs.

I think he means that it's a possibility that the 139 could get the 62reg VWHs, doesn't mean he said its confirmed. The 7s VWHs will be surplus and could go to the 139 topped up with new hybrids. I'm not sure if there's enough VMHs from the 134 to go to the 139 as 8 more are needed for the 90

Is a route moving out of W to make space for the 139 or is there enough space already?

Thanks @jordzjohn03 for clarifying.

Thanks @jordzjohn03 for clarifying. It wasn't clear at all, it gave the implication that you were confirming VWHs for the 139.

How long would AH remain with its current double deck fleet? Well the 10/60reg VWs should all be gone by 2024 the latest as they will be 14 years by then and would have done 2 terms or could leave by 2022 (dependent on whether the 237 receives a 2 year extension or not), the 61/12reg VWs should be gone by 2023/2024. The E2 and E8 current contracts will end in 2023

I think the 10/60reg VWs are the only VW batch to have never move to another garage, they've been at AH ever since they were new including the DMs that have never moved garage
