DW229, DW445, HA30 have been pictured among 14 buses in a "scrap pile" at GY, I assume these 3 aren't being used for parts especially HA30?

So are the 11 reg HVs at BN still allocated to the 50? or are 09 and 10 reg now apart of the alloaction?
What are the plans for the 09 / 10 reg HVs?

SW3 and SW5 are providing extra service on the 20 and 150 today during the peak due to a shortage of trains on the Central Line. There's also meant to be two AD HV's doing the same but the agency drivers never turned up to drive them. Same service will run until the 9th between 7am and 10pm and 3pm - 7pm. These buses wont track on ibus as there's no running number/trip information for them. Even us controllers cant see them on the route diagram, only through the GPRS map. They call from each end and the 150 controller slots the bus in the best they can.

I am pleased to say, they are digging up the front of TH, as I believe this is where the generator will be placed. Work has finally continued

T11 is reported to be withdrawn after suffering an engine blow on the 99 today. On the other hand, T320 is fresh from RTC repair.

I was moaning about ENL106 on the 166 recently having gone from a decent example to a terrible and gutless example - yesterday, I decided to tick off GY's two ENL's just in case they depart prematurely and both ENL111 & ENL112 are far better - not bad with the hills and easily up to speed on the straights and even both the 347 & 375 runs I had (despite being weekdays outside of peaks) wasn't slow or any regulation involved (my 347 ride under Go-Ahead with MDL1 was a slow experience and not because of the bus).
I also wasn't aware the seat backs and handles were changed to darky grey on these two examples unlike the TC lot.

Interesting. quote] They have one driver from Barking helping out and doing a very good job given the situation, but all the rest are agency. I assume with it being a weekday the pool of drivers available for WRD is relatively small and the ones that are available the garages are going to look use those drivers to cover their own open jobs then hand them to a one off Rail Replacement/Extra duty |

The 150 ones should show if they put the previous trip number as per dutycard. It was similar to when the route 29 tube strike extra's run last year. |

Yesterday, saw ENX32 being driven around the garage many times, with white smoke coming from the back of the exhaust.
Also, 3rd day of an all T allocation on 289 finally
EDIT (14:40): spoke too soon, ENX32 on 289, why am I not surprised

Thats good to know, I'll have to remember that for tomorrow. The drivers weren't given any packs to tell them what to log in as for one reason or another. |

Has an order been confirmed for the 243? Interesting it says coming of the back of an order of 34, which we know is for the 279. So this means either 243 order has not yet placed or with an alternative supplier. Also interesting it says it produces 86% less CO² than a Euro6 diesel. So still produces 14% of the CO²? Are we being conned by this zero emissions narrative? |
