The 51 is transferring to MB due to drivers etc when the 208/227 comes to MB the 51 drivers at MB will do those. No idea if the ENs will transfer with it When do you reckon the 208/227 vehicles arrive? A few weeks before the start date or a few days etc?

Would the ENs/WVLs transfer with it then or what? I have a feeling all the ENs would transfer over and leave the 353 allocated the WVLs, this allocation practice was in place a few weeks ago where the 51 would see 1 to none of the WVLs and the 353 gradually over the course of a week used all WVLs.

I do wonder why questions like this get asked when no one knows such information. Iβm sure nearer the time this information will become public knowledge.

Fair Point but Iβm mainly referring to a βfew days / a few weeksβ no one knows this information at the moment.

337 is no longer using hybrids since the ULEZ zone started,of course not allocated but still used to be common. Any other routes that no longer have hybrids because of the new rules? I saw an MHV on route 37 in February. The risk of an E running on route 63 might reduce the chance if MHVs straying like this.

Route 321 no longer uses many/if any hybrids, used to have at least 2-3 on it daily but now sticks to WVLs all day with the chance of one on it in the evening peak but not always. Can't wait to see a WVN on the N321 though as it now comes form BX at night, Ex-First Geminis look really good with GAL when refurbished. I like them too and rode examples on successive London trips - route 476 on 25.11.17 and route 131 on 28.4.18.

Ive probably jinxed it now. but it *seems* the AL South subsidiary gets StreetLites and the the North division gets MMCs (Except the two ADLs for the 289 increase but that was probably to go with its predecessors). Given that they have far more MMCs than StreetLites I would probably say they will get some more MMCs but you never know!! (Especially if ran from E to go with the 377 buses). MMC routes: W4, W6, 377, B13, part 289 StreetLite routes: 450, part 410 It will be MMCs for the 192, to keep everything standard, though I bet the original ENs will wander onto the 192 at some point, such as EN9, and new kit appear on the 318 Buses mag have decided to order new Streetlite buses for the 233 instead of 232 Maybe they will be for the 233, displacing mini E200s to route 232.

Will try to avoid it. When PD ran the route there were problems with engine mountings on similar buses. I spoke to an engineer about it. He said 'it naturally does that'! My response was 'If it naturally does that, why don't the other SENs naturally do that?'. He couldn't say anything back. Travelled on SEN19 this morning. I agree it's shaking, rattling and rolling all the way to the front of the bus. Nothing natural. They didn't do it when new so something has been altered.
