Having received my new SUP 39C, I looked at SUP 39B and had already noted that ENXs on route B15 have been refurbished. Can anyone say when they were refurbished please?
Admittedly, as these date from before 2011, I have the feeling these are not as good as those on route 289.

They were refurbished because the B15 was retained with existing buses in 2019 from the 428. As well as the 428 using T71-74, 81 which some have already been refurbished.

I’m surprised N are being more lenient and putting LT63 HVs onto the 468

I’m surprised N are being more lenient and putting LT63 HVs onto the 468 TH need to follow suit and allow the HA’s to stray onto the 250 or 64. All drivers are trained

All drivers are trained Do Arriva have a fear of more new buses going to Croydon than necessary??? Their buses are in awful condition visually. The Enviro 200s look terrible, and the unappealing orange bars make it all worse. I saw a B15 in Welling and it looked like it just came out of the garage for the first time in 9 years... at least some of the Ts look cleaner with white poles.

Probably ENX30 as the others have all been refurbished as far as I aware.

I think abellion was saying that TC’s buses were in poor external condition (which I think is a little harsh) rather than DT’s.

Don’t get me started on TH and their awful maintenance on their ADL buses. 95% awfully slow And not bothered to fix those issues they’ve been having for years. One of the ENX’s on the 289 conked out on the 40mph small incline in Purley. A HA straying onto the 250 is probably the best thing that has happened on the route.

The 12 reg ENX's on the 289 have been rubbish pretty much since they were introduction but not all the T's are that bad and it's because they've been purposely restricted presumably to save on costs

The ENSs on 410 can’t handle Anerley Hill to save their lives. I’d honestly much rather an SLS on 410 than an ENS

All drivers are trained I really want to see HAs on 250. Weirdly enough, the HAs have 250 to Croydon Town Centre on the blinds. They’re also blinded for 612, 627, 645 and 685 but not 289

In fact since the route moved to N in April. I do wonder why 432 can never go a day just using its own allocation. I’ve never seen a day where it’s just LT63
