According to a reliable source on Facebook, both LDP196* and LDP274 will be withdrawn at the end of the month and replaced by two of the ex 364 SE’s *LDP206 Such a shame, I rode LDP206 practically every when at A, sad to see it go.

Not surprising to be fair, those E200s on the 364 are absolutely awful buses to be on, and will be glad when they’re replaced by the MMCs.

Some of the 364s MMCs have now entered service. (SE311 - SE319) Does anybody know if SE306 & 307 are still doing the shuttles?

The 364s new MMCs are far better than the E200s it has, they are also better than the SOEs.

I suspect it may also use the 396s E200s now and then, hopefully we will see the 396 use some MMCs too however the 396s E200s are miles better than the 364s ones.

Just had a ride onboard SE315 on the 364, as expected they are really nice buses to ride on and certainly a massive improvement to the previous allocation of 57 reg SE's on the 364. I've already seen few comments from passengers how nice these new buses are particularly with the USB ports fitted on them.

Were LDP206 and 274 allocated to any contracts or just general spares? I assume contracts as two SE's are moving in.
Also will any SE's be kept back at RR to replace 232?
