I read a comment elsewhere that hinted that a couple of Scania's could maybe stay but nothing confirmed. I really don't get this bizarre fascination/love for the Scanias? They're clunky, noisy, ugly, have the worst seats of any London bus and are old. They look worn out and time for them to be offski'd. Thanks for the service but off you go please. I don’t really get the bizarre fascination/love for Enviro 200’s & LT’s but that’s the beauty of this hobby, everyone doesn’t like the same thing - it would be rather boring otherwise.

It’s not like the StreetDecks are any better. Gutless heaps and they pretty much have the same seats as OmniCitys anyway (as was spec’d by Tower Transit). A downgrade in pretty much every way. 😜 I am glad to see the back of the Streetwrecks on the 262 and 473! I was unlucky to be stuck behind one this morning and it’s ridiculous how slow and gutless they are.

Also on a forum about buses when a type goes it's going to be discussed not sure it's all about fascination and love necessarily. For example most people don't like LTs but when they go from London there will be discussion on here about it.

I agree, I must admit my preferences for double deck vehicles are very unusual (give me a Metrodecker or LT any day over a BCE) but we all have our own opinions and associated reasons.

I honestly can relate to this. Some batches are ok but they were always just usually spammed everywhere

It’s gonna be that time soon that my favourite buses were all from the past… DLAs, Tridents, Voith B7TL Gemini 1s and soon, Scanias. I know how the people who loved RMs, Titans and Olympians etc feel now.

As the Gemini 2s always strayed onto the 262 and 473, wonder if we will see the same happen on the 97 as it will take the Streetdecks soon!

I hear the next route to terminate contract earlier along with the 160/180 is the 273. This is confirmed. Now in tranche 902A.

I’m quite surprised the 242’s buses have materialised rather quickly while there’s still no sign of Abellio’s 133 and 306 order Apologies, I have just checked and it's now showing as incorrect. LVF_Admin please do not insert the Electroliner details (820** series) into the database as they were incorrect 82049e LV24EUW 82050e LV24EUX 82051e LV24EUY 82052e LV24EUZ 82053e LV24EVB 82054e LV24EVC 82055e LV24EVD 82056e LV24EVF 82057e LV24EVG 82058e LV24EVH 82059e LV24EVJ 82060e LV24EVK 82061e LV24EVL 82062e LV24EVM 82063e LV24EVN 82064e LV24EVP

That will depend on whether the Gemini 2 fleet at LI has been reblinded for the 97, I know there is at least one with the more recent version of Crossharbour, Asda for the D8 though that could be the 2022 blindset that was taken out of an Evoseti onto a Gemini 2 so they can be blinded for the 678.
One thing its more or less a thing is that most or if not all Evosetis should be reblinded for the 97 and various other Stagecoach routes from other garages.
