What are the plans for the SW's? Seems to be cameo appearances on the 102... non standard so not really used. I'd move them to the 41 so they could at least turn a wheel  SW5 was on the 102 yesterday, it got pulled off the road because one of the drivers that was due to take over the bus refused it because he hasn't driven the type in months. They could of sent them to WN with the 329's, I dont think they would of been all that bad if left on the 329 and 144. Perhaps there isnt any space at WN at this time |

Perhaps there isnt any space at WN at this time let's see them tackle Muswell Hill on the 144  Perhaps the 123 would be good for them to stretch their legs.. (said in jest) I think they would even do well on the X5 from Watford to Aylesbury  |

Regards the EN types, I'm guessing E is for enviro, N is for novated, but what do the third letters mean? Be grateful if someone could put me right. Thanks awfully!

T11 DT and T43 TH seem to be the last 08-reg Ts in service. Which will be the last man standing?

EN = Enviro 200 3rd letter: N = Nano (9m) S = Short (9.7m) R = Regional? (9.7m single doored) L = Long (10.2m) X = Extra Long (10.8m) |

ENR was a complete random letter because they have no rear doors. Overall the extra letters just separates the lengths Personally I would scrap ENX and have them as the following ENS - 8.9m ENR - 9.7m ENM - 10.2m ENL - 10.8m |

They haven't been novated. Only Go-Ahead used 'N' for Novated for their inherited stock from First Capital, for E400 deckers (which would usually be E***). The E200's inherited became SEN's rather than SE's  |

I think they would even do well on the X5 from Watford to Aylesbury Unfortunately the X5 doesn’t reach Watford. Its predecessor the 500 got cutback to Hemel Hempstead over a year ago |

Maybe they meant for a new term contract. However, the time the 34 was won, it could have still been won with the Gemini 1's. There is nothing wrong with odd workings and it does happen from time to time, the biggest obstacle is the blinds. The same has happened over at [DX] with the 150 batch of T buses only two or three of them has had inserts to include 175 now. I dont know why we even keep the 150 buses branded. Stagecoach removed the 275 and 167's buses banding years ago. Its very silly that the 175 from time to time suffers with NSB milage, not because there's not any buses in the garage, but because the buses that are there are the 150 T buses. I actually like seeing the branded 150's the blue looks good on the all over red. The 150 has suffered more NSB mileage than the 175. Even if there was a branded E400 left back at [DX] it is very easy for it to be subbed with a non branded bus or a DW that may be on the 150. |
