Fully expect tbe 411 to move to TV or FW in the near future Why? Because it operates closer to those garages than it does to Epsom. Don't forget that Quality Line initially won the route from London United in 2010 before they were bought by RATP, now that Epsom is part of RATP London, it is possible and I certainly wouldn't bet against it.

Does TV and FW have space?

But as Quality Line actually won it, then surely it's cheaper to actually operate from Epsom then from wherever RATP bidded for it from?

There could still be many other reasons why it's kept at Epsom, there's plenty of other examples around London where routes aren't operated from their closest garage. 202, 376, 252, 365, 287 are a few off the top of my head.

It would also allow for Epsom to gain a possible one or maybe two routes. While RATP now have full control over all TFL routes into Epsom (apart from the 166) I could honestly see them gaining routes in Sutton or smaller ones in Kingston. The 151 has always sparked to wind considering that both termini aren't miles away

IIRC, the VWs at ON were blinded for the 204 well before it was confirmed to be moving there.

YT1 YG18CVS when it was demonstated on route 603. Had a whole VMH blindset fitted so it did conain 4, 17, 24, 30, 43, 134, 168, 271, 274, 390, "390X" N5 - was really intresting until it had to be sent back to Yutong.

It's now at Walworth, destined for trials on the C10 *hatches evil plan to get it on the P13* How long is it? It might be permitted on the P13 if its short enough Will be weird seeing a Youtong bus with Avellio though

Don't take me too seriously on what I'm speculating. This is just an educated guess lol Thoughts
