I can confirm that the E200 MMCs on order for Route 364 will feature the new mirroring software. A bus is expected at RR next Saturday for training with the new system.

River Road, a member of their Management Team. - A reliable source that has been right on many occasions.

I was only told a vehicle currently at another garage was coming to RR for drivers to be taught on in preparation for the E200 MMCs on the 364.

Yes correct. Drivers that TUPE'd with the 51 from PD will go to BX but the rest will stay at MB Think that's the first I've heard of a route transferring garages due to staffing issues. This baffles me however as the route starts and terminates in two areas within MB's operating area (or former operating area in the case of Woolwich) so I'm not quite sure why they're struggling for staff for the 51. Fleet wise, I would estimate that the original allocation of WVL's and ex First EN's will go to BX with it with theex Abellio EN's which haven't been fully refurbished remaining for the 353 as its contract is due to end next year. I don't see why they would keep the recently refurbished WVL's on the 353 especially when the contract is up for renewal unless it gains a two year extension. Maybe the regular route 51 drivers are ex-Stagecoach PD so live nearer BX than PD. Admittedly this begs the question why it was not allocated to BX in the first place. I think route 51 will just take ENs with it to BX, with WVLs remaining at MB for route 353.

I wonder is that bus at Q will become a demo. I’ve heard it’s for route 100, but not sure

It's a game that Go Ahead play to get drivers off existing contracts. Go to BX you now go on our contract, they do it all the time. quote author=" DT 11" source="/post/496590/thread" timestamp="1556339340"] Maybe the regular route 51 drivers are ex-Stagecoach PD so live nearer BX than PD. Admittedly this begs the question why it was not allocated to BX in the first place. I think route 51 will just take ENs with it to BX, with WVLs remaining at MB for route 353.
