I'd be more surprised if CT Plus were able to stick to a double decker allocation! Next time HK are short of double deckers except one to pop over from AW will a single decker running on the 20 instead CT Plus has eleven E400 City at AK for a PVR of 10. Although I am sure they will loan vehicles in from HK when necessary, they have to get there first! In exceptional circumstances when there is no other vehicle available, using an E200 rather than cancelling the journey is the right thing to do. In the short term they now have X2 ex route 388 buses until the new E400s arrive so should be fine.
I assume both Stagecoach buses have returned to T. 10114 has not been seen since 12/6.

They should have 7 City’s spare as a result of the 388’s PVR cut by 6 so 2 to the 20 and the other 5 for the extension to London Bridge is what I’d speculate is happening with the two on loan buses returning as you mentioned.

Seems 2532 and 2538 are the chosen ones to take their new home in AW!

Don;t forget that in October they will need 4 of those E400 Citys for the route 26 frequency increase. Two new ones have been ordered.

I can see the two new ones going to AW for the 20 and then the 2 the 20 currently has going back to HK for the 388.

2524 currently on route 20. I assume the loaned buses from HK will change as and when needed much like between RR and SI at GAL.

Possibly because they are on a predefined maintenance cycle at Ash Grove and need to go back to keep to the cycle. The maintenance facilities are AW are fairly limited.

Been in Ilford 3 times this week and on each occasion I have spotted various W19s displaying black blank blinds, a mixture of side and number blinds. Very unusual for them.

Not really cut plus I know but when they put the impact group business they acquired from tower transit under the main ct plus heading does any one know what happened or if they still have the depots at Croydon and Greenford/ Perivale
