Do you think that DW432 will be repaired I suppose depending on how badly damaged it was or do you think it will be replaced by a younger DW. Plenty of DWs (and Ts) becoming spare over the next few months... If the Electroliners on the 307 will ever get charged properly, then perhaps a few T's or DWs can head south from Enfield  |

In general, if anything happens to any DW or T roughly that age where it is not worth repairing the chance is vehicle(s) will probably end up getting replaced instantly. This year a lot of vehicles over 10-12 years old will be withdrawn, either route losses or new vehicles introduced on retained work. |

No idea on the actual book value, but I’d like to speculate not really worth it. Too many spare diesels and best case can strip that down to keep other DWs alive cost wise (not seen how badly damaged mind). |

See full allocation of 137 and N137 will be from BN for the new tender from 20 Jan ... from lbr.net LT, EA or ES for N137?
Also the 2 added journeys on the 59 will be withdrawn again

The 137 was pretty much a done deal the day the announcement 133/N133 & 333 were lost. It will also be 7 Years exactly that N took on the 137. No idea what the N137 will use but if it is ESs I would not be surprised as No BN buses have N137 on the blinds. |

No idea what the N137 will use but if it is ESs I would not be surprised as No BN buses have N137 on the blinds. To be honest that was my No1 thought but will a night PVR of 8 (according to LBR, the new PVR) from a fleet of 13 (after TH buses leave) be sustainable? |

Good to see Brixton getting some night work in the form of route N137 due to the route N133 loss. I presume also that the ESs will interworked with late evening 137s where the electrics will make appearances before those ESs convert into N137s. On another note, It's a big shame route 319 is not a 24 hour route. |

On another note, It's a big shame route 319 is not a 24 hour route. No idea however the obvious thing to do would be to crosslink them to the 417. We shall see what happens. I wouldn’t be surprised if LTs get inserts for the N137. Some buses do not have St Bartholomews Hospital yet. Updating all the LTs would be a sensible move. |

I saw a ES blinded for the 133 on the front and side, but showing N137 on the rear. Very odd (given it's not your traditional blind) but perhaps it was a glimpse into the future 😂 |

Did every HV at N get fitted with ISA? I’ve seen stickers on some Gemini 3s but haven’t seen any Gemini 2s from behind lately |
