I wonder why VWH2044 has been refurbished as the 125 has been lost? I wonder if the 125 VWHs may move to Cricklewood for the 332, with the MMC hybrids departing? I'd love the MMC to be allocated to the 210 they sute the route very well. Where would they go if they did leave?

Not sure if this counts, but Metroline at AC are seemingly finally doing another stage of refurbishment on Gemini 2 hybrids, as all but 3 (now 5) were running fully in diesel mode for over an year. Now they are getting battery replacement/fixes.
VWH1408 came back after 3 weeks and was shocked to hear it also running on electric mode in traffic on my road.
VWH1408 VWH1411
Seems VWH1409, VWH1410, VWH1413 , VWH1416 and maybe VWH1363 are next in line.
No idea if other companies follow suit. Great news though, esp for G3 hybrids later.

Is this why the Gemini 2s were restricted to the 302 and 460 due to them running on diesel.

When the G2 hybrids did start straying more often esp on 460 in 2017/2018 most if not all would run in hybrid mode. Can’t remember how frequent per bus though. Was only late 2019 early 2020 they started to run totally on diesel, with exceptions of VWH1410, 1361 and 1362.

As an update 1408,1409,1411 and 1415 have had hybrid electric fixes. Was wrong about other 3. Can’t observe next ones to be fixed. 1411 keeps disappearing and 1363 still to be seen + others going missing for days only to be back in week.

BUMP
As several 64 Reg have been refurbished, thought would be good to put into one post what others have reported, as pretty scattered across garages (AC, PB and W):
VWH2040, VWH2042, VWH2043 (not reported?) spotted whilst I was in Finchley) and VWH2044.
Seemly VWH2059, VWH2056, VWH2045, VWH2041 and VWH2025 could be off for refurbishment (as off road for 1+ weeks) .
On the last 62 Reg VWHs battery/hybrid system refurbishment last reported, no new developments from observation.Might be waiting on VWH2041 to comeback first and possibly also VWH1363 from (seemly) short term VOR?
