It say it has awarded contracts ... which to me suggests they will be announced this week ... only tomorrow to go now .... or they are previously awarded routes or mid contract upgrades. Have any recent awards had vehicles TBA/TBC? The 106 and 230 could get new EHs not sure about the 357

Still yet to see if any materialises though. Wouldn't surprise me if the 357 got existing hybrids from somewhere that get diverted to the 476 with the compliant WVNs/WVLs going to the 357

I know GAL have tried to standardize their DD fleet so I am thinking BDE and SEe for the 444? The 212 was won with new hyrbids so EHs for that I am guessing.

No idea as of yet, but you're probably right. I think they'll work more with ADL after the ongoing issues with the 232 WSs and massive success we've had with the SEe's

On a related note, given the TVR of the 271, 106 and 230 combined, I recon the 271 will be the other electric route so far awarded this year.

Existing EHs from where? No Go ahead double decker route is being lost apart from the 270 and that has diesels.

Maybe the 106 and 230 will be an existing award using buses from a route that will get new Electrics.

So likely to be kept for the 357 especially of a huge amount will potentially spent on electric buses for the 106 and 230 directly or indirectly.

You have a good point regarding the 23. Makes me wonder if the 23 and 139 go electric would they both go to the same operator? Metroline could have a good chance here since they have an extensive experience with electric vehicles. As do RATP, could get very interesting if both routes do end up being electric candidates. Even Tower Transit have had a number of demonstrators, such as the Metrodecker EV that was used on the 23 for a while. I think X is the only garage from any operator that would be suitable for running both the 23 and 139.

I did wonder that if both routes went to RATP (not hard to belive seeing as V had the 10 and of course the 139 is already with them) that the 49 buses could be joined by say 8 or 9 buses from the 94 if the Marble Arch cut went ahead. We haven't heard it's not and the last post from TFL was that it and the 113 and 159 would be cut back and the 7 and 98 would remain along Oxford Street.
That is just a wild thought thou and the article may have confused a couple of routes gaining them with a couple of routes being awarded with them. Doesn't mean it's a couple of retentions.
