After nearly a year out of service DW322 has returned to service this morning. Interestingly it remains at AR on the 123 and has not followed its sisters over to TC

Can only see the 466 getting 13/63-reg DWs from AR.

Maybe initially, but can't see the 08s surviving for than a year on the 466. Be electric conversions, routes lost,, service reductions, that will free up something newer.

I may ask, since Arriva made a ADL order on 202, 319 and 405 could 312 possibly get new E200 EVs?

But it's probable that the new vehicle requirement will be delayed for a little bit until the consultation on the 312 is finalised. The plans envisage 3 extra buses on the route, so probably 5 new buses ordered for that and to replace the demo Optares.

Could be similar to the 412 which was awarded using DB250s(which were even refurbished) in 2013 for a few years until newer DWs were cascaded down from the 38.

There are of course still the HVs from the 319 directly or indirectly.

Hm but wouldn’t it be best if 312 got decked since sometimes the route gets busy and packed?

There is a low bridge on Old Lodge Lane. Even when the Addiscombe Railway bridge was removed the 12A would have still been SD due to Old Lodge Lane.

Passed ENL89 earlier and noticed all the seats have been replaced with new ones was only for a short time but with the lights on and it being dark it is easy to tell, it hasn’t been repainted. This was the last bus in service in London to have the old Arriva Moquette when I last drove it had the original seating. DW201-219 were recently refurbished and featured this
