Are the 192s WS still at NP? If they are where will they end up next? Used for Go-Ahead outside London perhaps WS61 has escaped onto the 232... I guess the performance is about the same I guess they could be spares if not off-hired. Some are doing 357 and 379 I might be wrong but think WS61 has been used on the 232 since it was taken over. I think it might be covering for a missing bus?

WS61 is a single door bus from the 192. WS61 did not cope at all today, struggled with loads.

SEN38 was at MB when I went past there earlier on the bus. I wonder if it has transferred there to replace 170?

So it was fatefully chosen as the 170 replacement.... the 170 ran beautifully when I got to try it Bromley - Hayes on the 138 earlier in the year. Hopefully it's a temp... (bring on the angry SEN38 fans...)

No. It had a piece of A4 on windscreen Theres pictures of it on Facebook... but these buses barely coped on the 192! They're just too small. My brother's Astra would have done better I do wonder that as Wrightbus products fail (saw an ex AE LT on the 149 in Liverpool Street being held together with duct tape on the front panels) if there's any parts, or if the new company (Bamford) is just keeping the ventilator running for now? If the 232 Streetlites start to pack up, and there's no parts for maintenance, things could get messy for the route. The smaller WS's are not suitable at all

BBC NI article says the first few buses (without Wright logo's) are coming off the production line now. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-50408679 An order of 55 buses is under way. I wonder if they will just drop the tiny Mercedes engine and just fit a proper 6 cylinder engine in the Streetdeck now? It would do a wonder for sales. Go North East are still waiting for their Citaro engine Streetdeck to arrive

The 396 is fully E200 today which is great to see, the 57 reg look very worn and the 104s batch of E400s hardly ever worked the 396 so its great to see refurbished E200s on the 396. Hopefully a spare E200 will join the 396s allocation soon.
