Nothing shocking at all ENX28 or a double decker would have been sent as a replacement. In relation to ENX19 no need to be surprised. T289 was withdrawn recently as well no idea why. Overall the amount of diesels that will be withdrawn in 2024 some vehicles can just be replaced with another vehicle involved in accident damage or mechanically not worth repairing. In relation to the SL5 if anything ENXs with smart blinds will probably be used and if need be swapped from TC. I was more surprised given that the damage to ENX19 seemed repairable in my eyes, from the pictures of the accident anyway. There might have been more to it that contributed to the decision to write it off. Speaking of E200’s, any idea what’s happening to the ENS’s that were recently displaced from the 410? ENX19 damages were much more unrepairable than you think, the front structure was destroyed. I saw it being towed away back in either may or June last year can't remember exactly when. Yes ENX28 is using ENX19s blinds. I am not sure exactly what is going on with the 64, no one knows anything. I reckon the 289s buses should be going soon so that they can be refurbed for the SL5, if that is what is happening. But there is no news on the ES type training yet. The chargers have been put in place but I haven't seen any workmen since. And yes all the ENS are parked at Norwood, the engineers cannot wait for them to be taken away, as one of them said they are using too much space.

HA20 refurbished. I know the recent stagecoach refurbishments been bad, but this is horrible. The colour clash is horrendous. Woah! That’s… an odd colour combo. I honestly must be missing smoothing as I have seen far worse recently. I am colour blind so maybe that's my excuse

Perhaps there should be a neutral/generic moquette that operators can use when refurbishing buses that don't have their own standard interior spec. Rather like Go-Ahead did with vehicles it acquired from First London. That said, Stagecoach London has a very neutral seat covering on some of its refurbishments and people don't seem to like that either.

The Stagecoach London one is horrible though, would take this Arriva one over that.

Yeah same here I also don’t think this Arriva one is *that* bad, burgundy and light blue are my two favourite colours though 🤣

Was the 150 ever allocated with DWs and if it did which DWs?

What Hybrids are intended for the W3? My guess is that they will receive the ex 242s and the HVs from the 34 PVR cut. Who knows?

If the SL routes are on short contracts and likely will go electric next time to fit the brief, I wonder if other Arrive routes will be awarded with them on basis they will get them after the SL routes.
