Today is last day of RATP operating the E11 (Abellio from tomorrow) likely to be the last day of the ex NCP 2007 SDEs and some 2008 SDEs The E10 passes to Abellio one week later For completeness E11 has SDE 20201-05, 10, 11, 14 Although 20202 hasn’t been used for 4 weeks, and 20210 not used for 10 days Of the other 4 remaining 20206 is a rarely used backup for K4 at Tolworth and 20207-09 are at Epsom working S3, K5 etc. It is expected that the E10 fleet will move early June to replace these There are some for the 265 extras currently

I have it on good authority that the 267 LTs have multiple faults that TFL/Ratp/Wright have some problem in reaching an agreement on. Good luck Abellio I spoke to somebody who works for RATP and they know nothing about these multiple faults..........................was your good authority having lunch in the canteen at the time by any chance?

There are some for the 265 extras currently The 265 extras are 2 x DEs and these only moves into S in the past couple of days. The 265 has 6 DE's as extras and were from the 72's allocation which lost 6 DE's at the same time when it dropped to a PVR of 17. I suspect the two DE's are to replace the DPS's along with one DE made spare from the 72's PVR cut as 7 buses in total should be released by the 72's cut due to it no longer needing 3 spares.

Not sure what the problem is but DE20021, 103, 116 that are at S have not been used for few days Possibly it has been decided that all the remaining 2007 buses and DPS are to be withdrawn and untaxed by end of May, but this is just a guess.

DE20021 is possibly out for refurb as DE20020 was spotted at Hants & Dorset during April whilst the others probably going through routine maintenance which would explain the extra buses and DPS's still running.

Alot of the DEs here could do with some TLC.

Alot of the DEs here could do with some TLC. Many are heavily used, and for a non-heavyweight bus that are 8-11 years old, bound to look worn, few years since some have had a refurb It’s the way in London, bus tenders force down price, so no one can afford to keep them looking and mechanically behaving as showroom condition.

Plus presumably a spare needed for the six buses on the 265...

I am aware of all of this thanks. Routes like the 326 don't help as I have mentioned previously the road conditions on 97% of the route is absolutely terrible.

No they chucked 4 SPs on the 267 today for a laugh.

Yesterday DE20058 having finished on 272 was moved to FW not sure why, unless it is a float for pending euroVI upgrades
