Any word on when the MEs are returning to service? According to the April edition of LOTS all barring fire victim Me12 are stored at PL pending "the process of receiving safety precaution measures". No further news beyond that. Reports on the Londoner Facebook page this evening of some being cleared for service and towed back to AL. Could be back sooner rather than later.

Would also make sense that they wanna bring back the Me's as quick as they can as some of the buses will be needed for the P4, as the 325 is using some of it's buses for it's temp allocation till the EVs arrive and RR is ready.

There are 20 65-reg SE and only 14 are needed for the P4. Enough SE from the 152 should have already been freed to fill gaps elsewhere on the 200 so I don’t think the Me late return should factor in that much. There are also enough 61-reg SE to cover gaps on the 325. It would help potentially kill off the remaining SOEs and OMs at AL/C so it would be best if they returned asap.

I’m hearing SE274-SE287 will be the allocation for the P4. If they are they will need to move late tonight as some of these are still out on the 325. I wonder if they have dual garage blinds that already have the P4 on them. Only one is still in service now, so I would assume they have started moving them down to NX.

With the 152 & 376 into their electric conversions and 325s round the corner plus the 396 which I imagine when the buses arrive shouldn't be took much of an issue pushing 5 buses into service at RR. I can easily see the end of the SOEs & OMs approaching.
Also worth noting since the 376 has partially went electric, SEN30-SEN31 & SE100-105 aren't in use today.

What will happen to the Streetlites from the 39 alloc? They were never intended for the P4. If I am honest I recon they'll be withdrawn.

So does RR now have charging facilities for the 366, or are the buses charged at DS and then returned back to RR?
