Does anyone know why double deckers have stopped on the 371 last one was the 13th. Route gets very busy so double deckers are needed.

Anyone heard anything regarding the DXEs for H37, a while ago was suggested would arrive March, but looking like April (or later) now. Then there is new buses due for 272 and 440 contract renewals on 25 May (9 weeks time) LOTs have advised 11 10.5m (new length to RATP) are ordered for 440 (meanwhile 10.9m versions regularly appear on 440, so why order non standard length) but not seen any confirmation of buses ordered for 272 (or the 6 needed for 395 from 7th Sept)
I wonder if the H13s DE would form the 395s allocation?

Finally driven a E400H MMC in service and have to such really lovely vehicle to drive and operate in service. Very well thought out price of kit.
These, SP38 I drove yeaterday, the ADEs and DLEs are my current favourite things to drive.
B5LH are definitely second best overall to the E400H MMC except for 30mph+ speed.

Why are there still 3 DPS on Route 72? Surely there are enough E200's and is it refurb cover?

Some DEs have had accidents or major failures which has resulted in shortages, delaying transfers etc Has resulted in no other DE cover available whilst 72 fleet get refurbs I think following currently out of use : DE 20013, 20049, 20135, 20176, 20185

These, SP38 I drove yeaterday, the ADEs and DLEs are my current favourite things to drive. B5LH are definitely second best to the E400H MMC except for top speed. The quickest of HVs would probably best them, although I’ve realised the newer HVs seem to be better built than the later ones, almost a year later and ADL buses would have been squeaking and rattling but not the 468 HVs
