So does that mean AD gets the full allocation of 34 once the 10 HVs moves over to AD or will it still be AD/EC? No why would they, since it is a Sunday service, no buses come out of [EC] for the 34, so having all HV just at [EC] when they can be rotated to [AD] where they are normally serviced makes sense. I think he means the ex Stagecoch HVs |

I think he means the ex Stagecoch HVs Sorry for my confusion message. What I was asking is that the 10 x AD HVs that are outstation at EC from AD for route 34 (Mon-Sat). Will the route 34 be fully operational at AD once the 10 ex Stagecoach HVs replace the last older Ts? I hope my message is a bit clearer now to understand? |

Those 10 HV's on the 34 that are outstationed at EC are always different ones everyday and there is no specific buses at EC that are allocated to the 34. For the last remaining 08 T's at AD, they will be replaced with HV's from the 19 which will fully convert to LT's once the 67 goes at Go-Ahead, which will use mix of LT's that are currently with Arriva and the ones within the GAL fleet. |

As above, there is less than 10 ex Stagecoach HV's to enter service, think it is 4. They were parked at [EC,AE,CT] they would be joined by a few ex 19 HV's once they are displaced by some LT's from the 67. As for operation there is not going to be a schedule change of the outstationed buses once we go back to normal Monday-Friday. There would eventually be a new working schedule for the 34 later this year though.

Seems odd that the 166 is getting new buses when Arriva went to the trouble of sourcing existing buses for the contract, no doubt to keep the cost down. I think they are Yutong E10 sourced through Pelican pelicanyutong.co.uk/buses/e10-electric-bus/Should be quite lively if motor is rated at 350Kw max (469 HP for oldies like me) Just a thought. One place these buses will stop, in addition to bus stops and traffic lights, will be Pelican crossings!  |

I somehow totally forgot about the 19 going fully LT operation and that explains it of what you said.  |

? Will route 19 be the final route for a New Routemaster conversion? No probably not. LTs will be around for a while but will probably move out of Central London. |

Surprised the N19 hasn't gone fully LT yet surely all the drivers are typed trained by now. Or maybe it be like N11 and N87 where HVs will still appear.

how many has the 19 currently got? Pass on that one sorry lol I'm wondering because the 19 still has a few HVs and I'm wondering if any LTs will replace them. I know HV270 & 271 are still there but are the HV3**s from N going to AD? (380-384) I definitely know that HV186 & HV270-271 are needing to go to AD. |
