The 67 reg SEe's actually failed the route test at Highgate Village. However, you can get them round, you just need to reverse.
NP output are never keen on putting them out. I once got a VOR 19 reg on the second half of a spread. With only a 67 reg free, they actually preferred losing the milage than giving me the 67.
Do you happen to know why the 357 is currently all WS, has it went back to WS operation or is it just until the WS go off lease or wherever they are destined to go? I am probably wrong but just a guess it could be linked to the building works taking place at NP for the extra charging points. It seems space is very tight and contractors have to vacate the site each night to allow charging/parking so just wondering if space is a issue on Sundays so easier not having to charge buses for the 357 then get them back charged for the 214 on Monday.

I have noticed for a while now as a passenger that the rear suspension on the e400mmc for route 208 seem to rattle/ make a weird noise on the interior. Most of the batch have this characteristic. Is this a feature on the e400mmc model or is it just our batch?

Ah I totally forgot about the construction. Since it’s getting City’s in the future I imagine it’ll revert back to electrics when construction is completed.

It's very simple just don't take the bus out. uote author="@mhv85" source="/post/540023/thread" timestamp="1575225736"] The 67 reg SEe's actually failed the route test at Highgate Village.

Good to hear. Shouldn't have to reverse whilst in service without a banksman and definitely shouldn't be putting out buses that have failed route tests. Be nice if the same vigilance happened at Morden Wharf, where they have sometimes tried to get drivers to take out long buses on the 386.[/quote]

Is this a feature on the e400mmc model or is it just our batch? I noticed this exactly. I have never hear d it on buses before, but it can certainly make a very loud banging/clumping noise over bumps. They’ve seemed to have gained it fairly recently. 36 batch doesn’t have it...

Obviously haven't learnt the old plumbers ptfe tape trick (for the non engineers, wrapping a bit around the bar where items latch onto stops rattling, when it is a tad loose), more a fix for loose poles and seats, but what you describe suggests inferior bushes where shock absorbers are bolted on.

That would sound about right. It definitely isn’t poles etc as it is a very heavy clumping noise coming front around the rear seating area

According to certain YouTube videos, yesterday (4/12/19) was the last day of operation for LDP206 and LDP274. None of these are showing in service on LVF either. (Not my videos) LDP206 on the B16 LDP274 on the B11
