Yes as they were striking alongside the Arriva London South garages DT and GY settled before it got to strike action. I should of said they were set to strike alongside Arriva London South

They are South of the river, and get lumped in the south management region. Suppose the are far enough away from the London South operations to not be integrated.

It was when they transferred the TfL country operations to the London operations, it was easier to transfer GY, GR and DT in one group to one department than having to separate DT from the other 2 garages

I suppose DT is much closer to GY/DX than the South London garages, so is easier for loans etc to be grouped with the North operations.

Just throughout most of the day, so in the late morning/afternoon/evening Late evening, the buses go to charge hence why the 312 starts seeing other vehicles but not great if it's also happening during the day Today, it seems to be fully EMC except ENX5/ENL105 which have been subbed off

Is it confirmed which LTs are for the 248?

Is it confirmed which LTs are for the 248? I think some of the LTs will come from other operators SLN ML and GAL if that's still the case.

Is it confirmed which LTs are for the 248? as LTs are owned by LT & not the actual operators which use them themselves, does this mean they can easily be shuffled around between different operators, the way other buses get shuffled about between garages of the same operator?

Yes and no. Yes that technically like you said they are TFLs property but not necessarily easy to move as I would imagine there would have to be a log with the DVLA of what operator is responsible for a specific vehicle and therefore it may be easier for them to remain with an operator. This may explain some of the surprising choices for conversion such as the 313 using LTs spare from the 38.

For those who hasn't seen the news on FB, EMC1 is being revived, and will no longer be a parts donor. I'm not sure if anyone noticed, but on this year's fleet audit EMC1 was still counted. EMC7 has also transferred to DT to work route B15 apparently. EMC7 is still at TC, so it was presumably an error in the garage codes. My apologies! EMC2, 7 and 8 are the only refurbished ones at the moment I believe. I wonder if the ex-OCEs will receive a refurb or whether the remoquette they had is deemed enough. That comment about EMC7 moving to DT was made in jest

I suppose DT is much closer to GY/DX than the South London garages, so is easier for loans etc to be grouped with the North operations. It has nothing to do with that. Vehicles can temporarily transfer from any garage at any time. I kept a record of every vehicle whilst I was there that has been on loan and they have been from many locations. BN: HV6, HV8, HV10, HV13, HV17 CT: HV238 DX: DW247, DW331, DW332 E: DW555 EC: DW500 N: T113 TH: T132, T162
