So what garage is the W9 operated from? I believe it's been confirmed to be HK! |

So what garage is the W9 operated from? Ash Grove, a long dead run from Chase Farm & Southgate, but somewhat quite fitting for a garage with a history of having last resort operations on routes that are some distance away from Ash Grove while the garage was under East Thames Buses and W9 being at HK sorts of fit into that category as Stagecoach took the W9 only a day after Sullivan decided to withdraw from TfL work. |

13127 has also been done recently. 13131 still has the TT moquette after refurb, Hm, I actually don't remember it having the TT moquette after being refurbished, given that I rode it but I guess I must have ridden another one. 13131 (ex-VH38128) was the first of the batch to get a refurb and think work actually started under TT - I remember this being off road when Stagecoach took over, and it came back quite a few weeks later looking fresh but still with TT standard. The refurb then paused for long, until 13122 was done end of last year with grey moquette. |

Another night, not a single EV on the N86! Something must be seriously wrong...

Another night, not a single EV on the N86! Something must be seriously wrong... Nothing "seriously wrong." As explained previously, there's probably not enough EVs at NS to also run the night service on the 86 at present to ensure there are enough charged for the morning run out. As more EVs arrive the pool of available EVs will increase. |

If this annoys you so much go complain to TfL or Stagecoach.
For someone so pro diesel you get very worked up when the buses you like so much are being used! I would much rather a full / near 100% run out on a busy day route over 5 or 6 buses at night on the N86. When NS has more electrics a full night run out will be easier as there will be a large spare pool of buses. The run out at the moment could be affected by parking as well when the garage is full.

Add to this, some of the EV allocation for the 86 is parked at LI overnight, further reducing the number of EVs available for the N86 |

There is such a thing as teething problems that can occur. |

Stagecoach actually have a lot of single deckers to source;
W12/W13/W14 changes mean around 5 extra buses will be needed. (5 Bused)
314 PVR increase, the route requires 1 extra bus. (1 Bus)
284 increase - 36665 has been moved from RM. (1 Bus)
W9 final allocation, I’d imagine a lot of the shorter E200s are going to be needed for the W changes and the route is not operating a full timetable yet. (9 Buses)
310 needs an allocation. (9 Buses)
That’s around 25 single deckers to source. Well 24 because the 284s bus has been sorted. Is there any SDs increases I’ve missed?

(9 Buses) That’s around 25 single deckers to source. Well 24 because the 284s bus has been sorted. Is there any SDs increases I’ve missed? 339 released about 12-13 9.3 and 9.6m single deckers. W19 is going to release a couple I believe to tuse the 10.2m single deckers too temporarily W14 is going to release about 7-8 buses. There may be some spares from the 366 or D3 that haven't been withdrawn yet. W12 already has existing buses on it if they decide not to withdraw them, which in my opinion they should. The 310 might reportedly get single deckers from the D6 or 165, or the 296 so that one of them can be double decked. I think Stagecoach have the situation under control! 5 buses can be sourced from the 339/W19 314 can get 36292 from HK, it is a spare not allocated to the D6. W9 can get a mix of buses from the 339/W19 310 can get buses from the 165, D6 or 296. |
