DE20129 techincally shouldnt follow DE128 because of the renumbering of the LS DEs which overlap. Another error by RATP group?

The new DEs for the 265 at TV are being delivered to Fulwell probably due to Hounslow Heath being congested with new VHs and ex 94 TLAs. At least four have arrived. Any pics?

With the VHs arriving at TV, the single VE there is expected to move to BT to join remainder. I understand the VEs are expected to move from 114 to H17 allowing some of the 2002 DPS to leave. Unconfirmed is that some of FWs SPs will be transferred to BT (my guess is From SP88-94), which will allow London Sovereign to dispose of remaining VLEs and VLPs (once 114 is lost in 3 months time). There are various rumours that the extra VHs are going to FW or TV for time being (nothing official yet) Presumably as FW needs 3 extra buses for 65 then either 65 is getting some VHs or TV is (and less SPs move for 71). The 6 bus top up on 183 isn't SPs, but is VHs from 13 I understand that some more TAs are expected to be withdrawn within days (logically as VHs enter service) Does it make sense for VEs to go on the H17 instead of the H14? All this could have been resolved if the H9/10 got new buses and the double decks for the 72 were deferred till a later date.

LVF states BYD1471 was involved in an accident Apparently the steering locked and the driver pannicked, pressing the throttle instead of the brake pedal. How bad is the damage?

9 VHs for the 94, 17 VHs for the 85 leaves 30 VHs. I really have a feeling that the 65 (PVR 27) will fully convert to VH (which would be a d*mn shame...)
As long as they don't rid any of my SPs away from London, I'll be fine.
As Hammersmith Bridge isn't going to be strengthened for a while yet, it's clear none of these VHs are for the 72. Yep thats correct , no VHs have been ordered for the 72. "20 new VHs will replace older vehicles". RATP should hsve ordered MMCs to withdraw DPSs from service

LOTs webpage has been updated today, 5th April, and it says the new fleetbook now on sale includes the full LU+LS renumbering I buy a copy every year and consider it very good value at £6.50 Why are they renumbering all LS and LU buses?

Update The 72 will not be converted to double deck using hybrids until Hammersmith Bridge undergoes structural work. What will this mean for the DPSs at SO? The 16 buses for the 85 will arrive early and will be used on other routes until the start of the contract. 6 new VHs WILL be going on the 183. No official news on the SRMs yet however
