And I got ridiculed for talking about the Stagecoach takeover of Lea Interchange a few weeks back… In fairness there is so much speculation here it’s hard to know facts from gossip! The sale of LI came up almost weekly.

It will have little to no effect on me personally but the takeover of the Tower Transit operation is, nonetheless, very good news for the company. Certainly the internal notice I received of this news was very positive for the future

Does this mean Stagecoach will immeadiately take over the routes operated from LI?

Certainly the internal notice I received of this news was very positive for the future I think it's good news for everyone, Tower Transit have been poor for sometime now and I would expect a marked improvement under Stagecoach.

Will Tower Transit still operate in West London? No. Tower Transit was already sold to RATP which operate the routes in West London.

I wonder whether Stagecoach or RATP will now be the 4th largest bus operator in London?

TfL fleet audit 31st March 2022 table 6) answers that RATP had 1234 buses, Stagecoach 1191 buses and Tower Transit 139 Clearly 1191+139 = 1330 which is more than 1234 content.tfl.gov.uk/fleet-annual-audit-report-31-march-2022.pdf

Rumour has it that WH is shutting down and LI is there to replace it pretty much, is there any truth to this?

Does anyone know what blind sets the E400s and Scanias have at WH? I know the 12xxx batch have 2020 sets along with a few Smart Hybrids, the rest of the Smarts have 2022 sets. I am curious about the E400s as they are still being used on the 474 on occasions so not sure if they have update curtailment points for the 474. Also the same for the 241 I didn't think older blind sets would have side blinds for 241 Prince Regent.
