I guess they could go Garston The Cadets are refurbed for their current contracts. They could go to TC to allow the 166's ENL's to move to the 255 to replace the DWL's.

If Arriva were to win the 364 (If that tender result was to ever see the light of day) then the E200s from 66 could be used on the route along with maybe 2-3 E200s from 286 to complete the PVR.

Would 10.8m buses be too long especially for the recent extension to Balham? The 166's ENL's are 10.2m - I was guessing that these would move from TC to TH for the 255 and the 166 receives 10.8m Enviro 200's from the 66 as the 166 is fine for longer single deckers (10.7m ADL's from the 407 worked the 166 regularly in the past). The 255 certainly couldn't get 10.7m vehicles around the extension route - Radbourne Road looks to be the main issue as does the Balham end of Old Devonshire Road which is very tight even in a 10.2m vehicle.
