DE20022 running over the E10 this afternoon with two RATP staff on board. Currently on stand at Haven Green. Route learning or route survey ? I’m going to guess it’s a route survey or test as the Crossrail consultation mentioned that longer buses would be introduced to the E10 if approved.

Bar badly parked cars in some areas I think it should pass.

Hmm, DE20022 looks like a 10.2m bus as far as I can tell from Google Images? I wouldn't fancy this bend in a 10.2m unless they put some parking restrictions there - people do park on both sides at night!

Forgive me if it's already been mentioned but are the new electric buses for the C1 and 70 still due around March?

It appears no TLAs have been used since Friday evening (day before the 4 bus PVR cut on 281, and week after 635 new contract)
Have the last 4 been taken out of service ?

But LU are still hanging onto TA40213, one thinks it's gone after what is really a few days of maintenance, but then makes another appearance.

The other odd thing is 14 SLEs that were on 267 (and did a short stint on Overground replacement) are just parked up, but about 14 TAs (which are 3-4 years older) hang on to life. Anyone got any idea what latest plan is.

Agree possibly leaving (if leased) due to the PVR cuts There are still 3 FW based ones in service (but 3 LTs not yet in service) Obviously that begs the question of what happens to the 14 TAs still in use, there are 7 new buses coming which could cascade out 7, wouldn't surprise me if others are covered by future PVR cuts (dosen't 618+619 end in July when school moves to permanent site). There are also 4 SPs which haven't been used in 2018 which could be brought back into service. One caveat is requirement for 10 buses on 1st September for H12 (H14 could wait until 94 contract ends in October) so either 94 or 292 fleet needs changing early (unless spare buses retained, or something else obtained) to cover this unless a batch of TAs or SLEs are retained as cover until 94 fleet becomes available.

A few SLEs now appear to be without blinds on the forecourt at Fulwell. No other movements out as yet folllowing the recent 281/371 PVR Reductions though. Less DPSs on the 216 perhaps but the 2 TAs bat on
