Probably a reason for these but I have noticed certain buses are rarely used at RR WVN 24 and 25 - These are for the 104 I believe but have been used more on school routes. WVL 276 again mainly used on school routes Also curious to why WVL 249 is pretty much route bound to the 679 but suspect its because it has manual blinds fitted to a smart blind bus so a pain to change them? WVL249 has smart blinds which are smaller and its a manual blind box i believe, probably explaining why always shows 679 blank.

I might be wrong (Probably will be ) but personally don't think the 396 will see double decker workings under Go Ahead. I think its just the way allocations have worked at BK plus it has double deckers officially allocated to replace fire damaged buses I believe?
Also thinking back to the D6 under GAL they had plenty of chances to blind deckers but never did despite First and CT plus using deckers.
We will just have to find out if they put any deckers or not Only Single Deckers RR will have that probably gain the new blinds are SOE23-27/SE232-234 & SE116-119. (Maybe MDL1).

WVLs 332 & 276 appear to be used on the 5 and 101 more with WVNs sighted on a school route today. My speculation is that the 104s contract will go like the 147 where it gets a E400 allocation most of the time with an odd WVL working, from what I have seen so far, I know it is only early in the contract and others may disagree it is only a speculation. Maybe Drivers aint been type trained for the WVLs on the route yet?

E135 seems to live everyday on the 101 not sure If that's more because of the blinds it has. looking through LVF E135 has appeared once on the 5 this year. Not sure if it is blinded for the 5 but I don't remember seeing any non-blinded Enviros on the 5 Believe E135 has an old blind set meaning it can only work the 101/147s and school routes.

Seems WVL333 Has been swapped for 332 with 333 Now going to NX for 178s, with WVN24/25 at RR. What else is going for the 178? 2 Other WVLs & E400s

E228/277/280 Both Refurbished and carry Docklands Buses which the 104 contract was originally for. Is there any reason why 104 isn’t running from SI and 300 & 376 ended up moving there instead? Down to lack of space for Double Decker's , which meant moving the 300 & 376 could fit into the area the DD's cant get into.

I do not think WVL276/333/334/446 will be heading to River Road considering WVL 334 and WVL466 have both entered service at two separate garages. They are not needed to fill the 104's contract anyways, there was another E400 transfer to River Road today, so I do not think any WVLs will be transferred for the 104, it is a guess but we are now 2 days away from the 104 coming from River Road and all the buses that have been transferred are E400's. WVL334 was never mentioned as transferring in the first place whilst WVL446 is most likely on loan to SI - let's just wait & see what happens. WVL333 is heading to RR and I'd imagine if Londontransport3 says WVL276 is transferring to RR, then he is highly likely right - I've seen him share info elsewhere before and it's very rarely wrong. Seems WVL333 Has been swapped for 332 with 333 Now going to NX for 178s, with WVN24/25 at RR.

So have the 20 buses for the 104 been scraped together yet then or are there still some more to be sourced? 104s Buses Are E127/128/130/136/186/187/189-193/207/212/228/276-280/WVL276/333/446

According to a Facebook post, 8 former Abellio E40Ds have been acquired to replace the buses lost in the fire. What route will they be on? The Former Abellio E400s are for 51, 320, 353

104 still moves over to Go-Ahead Docklands Buses on 8th December, but will continue to operate between Stratford and Manor Park until further notice. The rerouting to Beckton and the introduction of route 304 are deferred until public service on the Crossrail line to Abbey Wood commences. The proposed changes to route 241, 330 and 474 are also deferred. 104/304 will be out of River Road - Blue Triangle which is why the 300/376 have moved to Slivertown (SI)
