All the 19 reg must be temp. VH45156-63 & VH45184-6 meet the PVR of the 306. My thoughts would be they are covering 1 VH from the 18 that hasn’t entered service and potentially ADH upgrades and 1 ADH that is off road. Don't you mean ADH refurbs not upgrades?

Yes refurbs, I was thinking about upgrades at the time so the word must have escaped me.

So now obvious the 272s DMEs are moving, but which route will be getting them, anyone know? Could be used for a winning bid? 481 is up soon 🤔

Appears that some sort of DLE shuffle is happening. 216 is all DE so far and only one 18 reg is in use this morning. Wondering if the DMEs are heading to FW along with some older DEs? Would free up the DLEs to go elsewhere?

Would free up the DLEs to go elsewhere? Just noticed this as well, I complete downgrade for the 216 a route that really needs DLEs. Also no DLEs on the 371 today although not allocated they make daily appearances on the route. Did notice a few DEs on the 216 this weeek* *FW ones.

Would free up the DLEs to go elsewhere? Only really need to be kept in if they are being reblinded because moving. No need to not use if just switching routes within a garage FW has some spare space at moment (since losing 267) and much easier to do swaps at one location if physically switching the blinds between a pair of buses. Of course have been loads of changes recently (Hammersmith bridge destination changes, new routes, abandoned Richmond changes etc) that many of the blinds didn't have full set of latest anyway.

The 216 is overloaded in the mornings especially. Was thinking only earlier this week that surely it’s only a matter of time before it’s double decked.

Its such a shame deckers are banned as the 216 is a great route but it can't be appreciated properly on single deckers. If there is a DD conversion on the cards at FW I can only see it being the 371, the only other option would be the 411 which whilst not impossible, and whilst it would certainly be a welcome change, seems unlikely.
