Yesterday DE20058 having finished on 272 was moved to FW not sure why, unless it is a float for pending euroVI upgrades 👍🏼 Euro VI conversions will be happening a plenty, with FW and S being first in line by the looks of the fleet moves as a result of the availability of buses now that the new fleets are on the 272, and very slowly the 440

With the 440 contract renewal with new buses there are only 2 No, the full allocation is being changed but it is taking longer than anticipated.

The 440 will be full DME like the 272. They are both at different garages and it seems like they are going to V before RP.

Apologies if this has already been answered but will V have enough space for the 211 from the 29th June or will something need to move out, I know 27 moves out in November.

Thanks, wasn't sure how much space the 391 took up. 391 is 18 buses, and the reduction in the 10 was 23 (26 less three night buses). Add cuts to the 27 and the E3, plus the N9 going in from AV, gives you something like 24 spaces, and the 211 is 18. So, no problem there...

Add cuts to the 27 and the E3, plus the N9 going in from AV, gives you something like 24 spaces, and the 211 is 18. So, no problem there... There are 2 parts to this, the buses (which above shows fit) and drivers. Unclear how many existing drivers will want to move as Stamford Brook is quite a long way (and I am talking time, as it is 6 miles) from 211 existing garage at Battersea (and not easy by public transport without at least one change). Will take minimum of 30 minutes to drive it. So it is possible something may move out to spread the driver changes. I am guessing 391 (or maybe half 391 allocation) could move out. Just 4 weeks after gaining 211, RATP lose 81 so could be drivers transfer from AV. Therefore situation is more complex as no company wants to be loosing drivers if they have shortages.

Still don't know why 94 got a frequency cut, got on at bond street but as it was so busy got off and jumped on a 148. Nearly all 94 are full from Oxford street down to shepherds Bush.

I love using buses to get to Central London. Now there is no 10, the 94 is the sole Oxford Street-West London link. I use it all the time to get to an array of destinations. Nearly every time I'm on the 94, most seats on the upper deck are taken with buses being packed to the door at times. The only time I've been on a 94 carrying fresh air was because of bunching meaning the bus ahead picked up all the passengers. The 94 didn't deserve its PVR cut especially with Bayswater Road struggling post 390 cut. I will be devastated when the 94 is cut to Marble Arch and that may well be the final nail in coffin for me; the 10 has been withdrawn and the 27 cut back to Hammersmith so the 94 is all that remains easy to reach for me. I don't want to see patronage slide and then bus network get worse but I don't want the hassle of changing buses several times

I don't want to see patronage slide and then bus network get worse but I don't want the hassle of changing buses several times It’s been said many times how busy the 94 is. I really don’t think TfL care. Absolutely outrageous. Just hope what I’ve heard pans out, I.e no curtailment and no further frequency drop.
