DW439 was on the 229 today. DWs have been on 160, 229, 492 & 660. Ts are not blinded for those routes yet. And two more today. Bang goes that theory! One of them appeared a few weeks ago prior to 99, 269 & 401, |

Well, there are a bunch of type examples, but for the exact numbers it's a bit difficult to pinpoint.
LT routes such as: 24, 10+9, 168, 38+N38, 73+N73 as well as 253+N253 (no other buses at SF!), N8, N55, all not seen a conventional for years.
26+388 are ran with Cities now.
384+234+382 are now solid DEM.
324 is always 10.2m E200 and I don't think a DEL could do it.
326 and 251 always a DE (though batches/moquettes vary).
2, N2 and 249 have not seen anything non-HV for a while now.
424 and 379 are solid baby WS now.
339 is quite good at keeping DM apart from 2 odd DMLs (which I regret not catching).
I think ever since updating W6 hasn't seen a non-ENS but don't hold my word for it.
29 is good at keeping G2 HV (that T a while back was so weird!)
Ever since moving to AV, 419 is 100% Dart. 272 is 100% E200 in turn at V

Ever since 259 went EC, it been pretty strict having only HVs bar the odd DW on the route. Come on Arriva, lets have a a VLW on the route to remind people of the WVN days  |

One route that never keeps with it's allocation is the 105, the route always has at least 3-5 VWH's (allocated to routes 120 and 7) everyday. It's allocated VW's (LK11***) are frequently seen on routes 297 and 90 as well. Two brand new VWH's allocated to route 90 (VWH2413 LK67ENY and VWH2384 LK67EKZ) have also made or are making appearances on route 105 recently.

I don't think the 90 has any VWHs allocated to it. |

I don't think the 90 has any VWHs allocated to it. Yes - if I've got it right, 2384 would be a 6 vehicle & 2413 would be a 98 vehicle. They also have VWH2336 & 2337 which should be 260 vehicles if I've got that all right |

A few routes here I think have been missed: 1 - unusual for Go-Ahead to keep to allocations  ) 17 - since hybrids took it over anyway 31 - don’t know we don’t see more strays on this route 85 - only seen Gemini 3’s under RATP, even more so now the 131’s gone 241/330 - never see anything other than ALX400 271 - never sees anything other than TEs. It always baffles me as to why we NEVER see VW’s on this route? They appear on every other! 322 493 - had at least been very strict with its E200s, the 39’s buses have only very recently started appearing even then not for too long DT vehicles in general tend to be excellently allocated, if we’re only talking vehicle types,ie blurring the lines between the 61 & 65 E400s. |

Route 1 has seen quite a few EHs and older WHVs. |

Not quite, whatever's left of the LDPs (unallocated) stray as does 315's SENs of the same length. 170's 10.8m SEs and DPs have made rare appearances however. That said, the amount of 15reg SEs outnumber the SENs by double. |

Oops! Stand corrected on those two! I thought the 322 was only allocated those 15-reg E200s, there’s two darts on there now! Same with the 1, I thought only their WHVs at NX were blinded for the 1, except a sole Gemini 2 that I knew about. I’m gonna assume this massive order of EH’s for NX will all have the 1 blinded on them? And surely it’s WHVs will have to be reblinded soon, as they’re also EuroVI hybrids it’d be nice to see some variety.  |

The 1 is moving to MG in March anyway, and the 180 WVLs and 188 WHVs have 1 on the blinds. |

I would have thought Q would be a far better choice for the following reasons: - Aren’t all of the WHVs blinded for the Q routes? - Q will have so much spare space when the 68 and 468 etc move out - Isn’t Q substantially closer to the 1’s line of out than MG? Granted MG isn’t an age away but there is still a considerable dead run from there. I guess on the contrary MG’s been chosen because it makes driver changeovers far easier via the Jubilee Line? I guess Q would make it a bit of a pain from that front. Looks like we’ll be saying goodbye to the spanking condition of the 1’s WHVs then they’ve always been immaculate when I’ve taken them. |

I'm not sure how much space Q has now as I believe this move is happening before the 68 and 468 go. It is happening to create space for the 172 at NX. |
