Have any more ESs turned up at TH/BN? Nope none yet, although ES020 has had a ticket machine installed, the only difference in the last few weeks |

Is there any more info on whether WN is being electrified next year? It would be great if this happens, I don't know if they are still going to do a complete refurb of it too, which would mean a move of most routes until completion, ie routes to Palmers Green, Stamford Hill and Tottenham... |

The W3 was retained with existing Hybrids from the 78, so I imagine the complete electrification might be a bit more of a long term view. |

ES43 is the first of 417 batch to enter service, can imagine others will closely follow.

The 157 and 417 drivers must be excited as they’ll finally get to drive something powerful rather than being left behind in the 249 and 432’s dust. The poor old 410 is still stuck with rubbish though. |

Being a spare driver myself, driving every route, I am so excited to finally drive an amazing bus with incredible power. Yes the SLS are much better climbing Anerley Hill. There are a few ENS that can (ENS22 and ENS18). I am just waiting for them to announce type training to begin. |

I think moving 410 to Norwood should of happened when 450 went to Metrobus so they could immediately put the LK66s and SK17s on the route and fully withdraw the ENs. |

Most likely will electrify the 29/N29 as I don’t see how those HVs will survive another renewal, this is just speculation |

THe existing garage will be demolished and replaced in a project that will have housing above. It will only happen if a developer can be found to finance it. |
