Any ideas where the hybrids will come from for the new 237 contract? I think a good candidate for an LT conversion would be the 483. Can't think of any turns where that would be an issue. LT641-663 would be 23 LTs for a PVR of 20, and that would send a suitable number of VWH/VMH down to the 237 I don’t think LT can go through Ealing hospital so would rule out 483 in that case……I think there would be uproar if Tfl decide to stop the route serving hospital grounds.

I saw a DE on 226 with its front blind saying South Harrow? I guess the bus must have blind stuck because it was displaying the number 226...it was heading towards Ealing Broadway in service with passengers

It would make 79 an ideal candidate to run out of RP

E9 is currently fully VWH (at time of writing) I'm not sure I recall 92 ever being fully VWH!

Although I loved seeing them, its a bit like how dated it looked still having Plaxtons on the 6/98 in the mid 2010s and ALC400s on the 55 till 2015. I can’t believe I thought in those times how nice it would be to see some newer buses on the 6/52/98 back in the day. Now I’d love to see them back more than anything! You never appreciate what you have until its gone. Am I right in thinking that (before the 52 got it’s G2s in 2012) AC was a fully Volvo Plaxton President garage? And if so is that the only time a major garage (ie more than two routes) has only ever had just one exact model of bus? (I bet Stagecoach had a fully ALX400 garage at one point) 52 had VPL where as others had VP. That was the only difference but fully volvo

Talking about 226, I saw one DE on the route at Harlesden Station showing H18 Ealing Broadway. Guess blind was stuck

If you read what I wrote, I said at BT, maybe RP would be better suited. I didn't say it is a mistake being at RATP I did read & accept that point - however, just swap RATP for BT and my original post is still very much relevant - it’s not even a week old under BT so I’m lost how anyone can say it’s a mistake already Yes maybe BT should be given more time to prove themselves, your post now makes more sense as I was not saying RATP is the issue.

I think BT on 226 is a mistake, maybe RP would be better suited temporarily, I know it can’t be electrified at RP, but the amount of turns it’s had is terrible, there is one going up to Hanger Lane currently. If it goes to RP then how would it be able to use it’s electrics? Yeah,I mentioned temporarily, I know it wouldn't be a permanent solution.

The last handful of buses on the route are scheduled to finish at Hanger Lane Station I'm pretty sure not around 10pm? Unless I'm mistaken.
