Will the 59 Reg T's at Dartford move to any Arriva Garage outside London as they have been refurbished and they are being replaced by the Ex 160 ones.

10.9m vehicles are way to long, turning left out of stanford way onto rowan Road is tight, especially as it has a island right there, you have to use the whole of the road to just get round it. Will be interesting to see what they choose It’s very controversial as 255 has seen ENX before . But, the fact that they’d rather put ENSs on 255 than ENXs says a lot too. And you’ve driven the 255 yourself, so that also says a lot. It’ll be interesting to see what they get. Could be Caetano, BYD or Volvo. I have a feeling 255 will get Volvo BZL SDs or BYD E200EVs Just because an ENX has done the route before does not necessarily mean it is suitable. ENXs at one point were not suitable for the B12 pretty much because of a the right turn from Park Cresent into Hind Crescent, when double yellow lines were placed at that junction made it so much easier to do that turn. ENXs were not suitable for the B13 due to many tight turns. 410 drivers even complain when ENLs are on it.

Well that would be IMPOSSIBLE. As the T's that are at [DX] are NOT the older type that had the split nearside blindbox. All the ones of the 60 reg has an all in one nearside blindbox. The older ones that were from the 38/242 contract of 59 reg that are now in South London had the split nearside blindbox. Unless you mean the DW's as all non WTA DW's had the split nearside blindbox which this is capable of being done. The front blinds NOT near side where this actually is possible unless I can’t see what’s right in front of me. Wasn’t a dig at Arriva just pointing out an observation as noticed a few Ts like it. 175s DWs seems fine bar one though. Was wondering if DX was having issues with them as I’ve noticed it quite a bit as of late. Nothing wrong with the blindsets on those T's AFAIK. Down to certain individuals. Just report it via London Buses and it will be dealt with.

Is the 102 meant to be allocated fully HV and the 329 T’s? Just asking as the T’s and HV’s seem to be a mixture of both daily?

Or the fact the 133 runs past the garage and the 50 doesn't. Outer London discrimination isn't the thing you still think it is - see the majority of electric awards, Superloop, majority of extensions and frequency increases. Probably all the 133 drivers are type trained on the Electrics. At one point HAs were rare on the 50. Outer London Discrimination is too funny as the Route mentioned is going Electric alongside a few others that have been cast offs for the past few contracts, in addition the garage is not obliged to put out odd workings to please anyone… for two years now EAs have appeared on the 133… I don't know, does type training for EAs automatically qualify you for ESs? If not, why train a batch of drivers that are reportedly due to TUPE with the route in a couple of months time? Seems you are doing Abellios works for them at your cost. Sure training drivers that are likely to stay with your company seems more beneficial, at to this lay man. Adding that last comment is why why some bus workers are regarded as condescending, there was not need for it.

Not sure why this happened but ES32 is out and about on the 417, entered service today and is not tracking correctly.
For those looking to catch it, it just passed BN heading to Crystal Palace.

Not too sure, another surpise to the mix is ES30 and ES32 working on the 50 today(potential sign of what is to come in August), with both doing one rounder (BN to Stockwell, Stockwell to Croydon, Croydon to BN), SILENCED I believe your wish has been granted .

I dont know if anyone else has mentioned that T300 has moved to Enfield being the only "white blind" T bus at the garage. I'm patiently waiting for it to turn up on the 191, certainly the better suited vehicle for that route

Did they? There doesn’t seem to be any history of that on LVF As I mentioned before, they weren't tracking correctly. ES32 attempted to go out on the 133 today but only made it up to Brixton on its deadrun before being driven back to BN at about 10am. It then went on the 50 from 10:30-13:10 and then the 417 from 13:40 and still is on the 417. ES30 simply worked on the 50 from 15:20-18:30. The tracking error isn't down to these buses, there's a data feed issue affecting certain buses and routes, 142 has been affected since Wednesday.
