ENS28 has a sign on the front saying "Unfit, do not take any parts". Not quite sure what that means exactly. Also, T299 has seemed to have disappeared, it may be on the pits but I couldn't see it. Either the vehicle would have use within the company or another and no parts are to be taken even though it is permanently withdrawn. I.e. a bus goes mechanical, no other parts in the workshop and it needs an indicator stalk. It would be robbed from the withdrawn bus (or exchanged) to keep others going. |

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  No Gemini 2 has ISA. |

No notices posted in the garage yet, but the 137/N137 is moving to Brixton. 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. Do any of the LTs currently based at N have the N137 on the blinds? All BN/N LTs as far as I know only have 59 and 137 on them |

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? N137 will now run every 20 minutes instead of every 30 minutes. |

Arriva seem to be cutting the 175 back to Romford Parkside Avenue all but 1 bus I’ve seen along route are terminating at Romford, Parkside Avenue. Plenty of 103s being terminated st Romford Market & Station. Lots of them not being shown on LVF, so controllers obviously aren’t sending the curtailments.

T298 arrived in TH today still with Norwood blinds, showing 202 Blackheath. Apparently will be for 289, not sure if it is true.

If the 289 is to be double decked with existing buses from the 157 from now that makes sense. The ENXs will be required for the SL5. Many of the 157 & 410 are parked on the Forecourt at N and I believe next week the 133 & 333 go and the 137 returns to BN some of the surplus buses from BN will probably be parked at N as all LTs will move with it. |

I did the 0430 trip from Crystal Palace and was picking up passengers at every stop from Crystal Palace to Chelsea Bridge. |

Yep I heard Norwood buses will be the 289's allocation, but again it is all speculation, nothing has been confirmed. |

Overall that makes sense unless the UKPN’s Fairy switches on the power at TH for Route 64 it’s not happening before the 3rd February… So it is safe to say yes it will be using those buses. The blinds for T186-190, 192, 193 already have blinds for the 64. So if they are short on blind’s problem solved. The great benefit here is the 289 is double decked 7 months early giving it the capacity it needs. In addition I have a feeling HAs will end up on the SL2. |

Are some duties on the 410 operated by N drivers? I've noticed a few buses dead run to N, particularly one or two of the late night finishers.
