Went past E and it looks like the charging infrastructure is taking shape now. Saw one built so far at the front. Should be seeing ES on the 307 soon

What are DXs allocations at the moment, are they:
150 - T169-83 & T185, T191 (17 buses for a PVR of 15.) 175 - DW247-DW258 & DW324-DW325, DW332-DW333 (16 buses for a PVR of 14) 325 - ENL61-ENL74 (13 buses for a PVR of 12)

Heard a rumour around Enfield Garage the last few days that the W6 was to move to Wood Green and us 192 drivers stay in order to make space for the 349's return. Honestly didnt believe it at first, but as of this morning it has been confirmed to move in September. I assume the W6 will fill the hole left by the 184's departure last year.

Surly EC would be better placed for the route?

Surly EC would be better placed for the route? The only problem with running the W6 from EC is they would have to continue to rent the current ferry vehicles the 349 drivers are using for the drivers on late earlies and middle duties to get to and from the garage. I assume when the route moves to Wood Green the changeover will move to Southgate aswell, at which point drivers could use the tube for free between Wood Green and Southgate.

I wondered the same, if WN would be electrified at some point? Not sure if traffic will affect dead running from WN to Edmonton Green for the W6? I've seen the Sticker Fairy has been to DX, noticing buses in Ilford today with their grey Diesel stickers on, though nothing so far at AR for buses on the 123

Went past E again and it looks like all the charging infrastructure is built. Just needs to be wired up. ES should soon be on the 307.

Very much the easier option

I have taken the registrations from company info; a bit strange that now BLOTW is publishing something different which also does not show in alpha numeric order. What I published it what it should be, unless someone submitted the wrong info when being registered with DVLA.

There is a recent video of T300 having a collision in Morden, the damage doesn’t look too bad however.
