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. Some of the 410 fleet has been parked at N for many years now, similar to how the arrangement with the 157 worked |

I believe all 410s are TH duties, but about 7 park at Norwood overnight. Not sure why, but perhaps to give extra space at TH. I wonder if this will remain when 410 moves to TC |

T298 arrived in TH today still with Norwood blinds, showing 202 Blackheath. Apparently will be for 289, not sure if it is true. If this is true, I wonder if they’ll get blinds from the ENXs or brand new blinds |

I wonder if this will remain when 410 moves to TC When the 410 moves to TC the entire allocation will be based there. 7 vehicles are at N because of capacity at TH. At the moment N is partially a base for unused vehicles. |

There's been some ongoing problems with the 377's EMN. Battery drops around 19% on one round trip, given that the 377 gets 90 minutes for a rounder this means they can only really do 6 hours before the battery has dropped to around 20% and therefore the need to be charged again.

Speaking of Optare, I saw in GAL thread just now that a Me was on fire in Wimbledon this morning. I wonder if the Metrodeckers be taken off the road again? |

That's not great for a brand new bus  I think capitalomnibus sabotaged the batteries so the 16 plate ENs don't move to the 318  |

No surprise they are not buying more Opscares for the 439. |

Im assuming 439 will be getting 9.7m SEes then— similar to its bunkmate, 450? |

I might have free time this weekend to do some 133/333 journeys for the last time during Arriva’s tenure.
Do any regular users on those routes know how BNs LJ60/LJ11 regs fare nowadays? I’d like to grab several G2 B5LHs, but only ones that at least has a partly working electric mode with no engine rattling when accelerating. For instance HV15 was one nice one when I was on 333 last year.
I figure a long stretch given their age + HV1-6 already done for last year.

I think they have potential but most drivers are slow and as a result the ride isn’t that interesting. |

Ah no, I am not expecting any amazing rides or anything thrashy (also appreciate fairly recent 20MPH issues), but have had instances esp on Sunday rides where there was some nice full revving on 1/2 gear. Maybe I got lucky? |

More due to the fact everywhere is 20 and speed is being monitored. Sooner or later when those AI speed cameras are introduced expect things to be slower… |
