Thank you ... LVF marking it as withdrawn threw me off the scent of that vehicle. The ibus is not working on T295, I missed my bus going home cause of that reason. Apparently it was in storage and the radio was removed. So I don't know if TfL will put a new radio in. It hasn't been serviced yet and went straight into service. |

8 Ts on 289 this morning, mostly ex Norwood buses. Buses, like ENX7, are pulled out mid service to go to TC and was replaced by a T bus. Is there still a stalemate on type training for the 64 ESs? |

ES017 and ES023 are still in the same position, out of sight in the corner. Nothing has been said, no sign of any power yet. The chargers are picking up dust already |

I have noticed that the ES's used on the N137, with the exception of ES31 once, have all been from the 417 batch.
Does this mean the displays for the 2 batches are different? Personally would have thought they would be the same? Also see reports of vehicles incorrectly displaying N137 on rear. Is this both batches or just the one?

If anyone was wondering what the pandemonium in Turnpike Lane was this evening, we had HV98 on the 144's brick itself in the middle of Turnpike Lane Junction and, just to top it off, a 329 went into the back of a 231 inside the station itself.

Personally would have thought they would be the same? Also see reports of vehicles incorrectly displaying N137 on rear. Is this both batches or just the one? Coincidentally, I was just thinking about this. I’m sure all ESs have the same dest set? Or the TH and BN ones at least. The TH ones definitely have blinds for routes from E and BN, so I’m not sure why 137/N137 are strictly allocated the 417 ESs. Another thing, I wonder how N137 will manage when the ESs leave for the 64, seeing as N137 will require 6 buses and 417 has only one spare. However I may be underestimating when duties on the 417 begin to bring buses back into BN. A solution to this could possibly be to convert the 50 early (assuming it remains at BN), and allow the 64/612 to take the 50’s later batch alongside all the other ESs (250/289/663/689 and possibly 194). |

The N137 PVR is now 8 as it runs every 20 minutes. |

Very strange, the 612 and 689, according to LVF, did not run this morning. Either not enough buses or it did run and did not track.

The 417’s PVR would be lower by time the N137 begins operation so would probably only need 4-5 ES’s on the 417 at that time. Even if that’s tight, EA’s could always be reblinded for the 417 and N137 |

Currently it seems the night duty buses are coming out of service in the early-ish afternoon. |

Yeah the ES’s do that as I’ve see them heading into the tram shed to charging which should give them enough time to have enough ES’s for the night time runout |

When will the Superloop livery be applied to the ENXs? As the current contract is for 1 year, I doubted they would even receive Superloop livery. However, I did then see the pix in subsequent posts. |

Just out of curiosity, what is going to happen with the SWs? Ik people don’t like them but I did have a soft spot for these rare buses for Arriva.
