Or do you mean Edmonton. There is still a few of the buses due for South parked up there. Is there anything stopping them from converting the 50 whilst it’s at BN and then moving it over to TH once TH is electrified? Hmmm, only TfL

Judging by the line of HAs parked in DX, that's what the route is getting. Thinking more we will not have identified which examples do not have a home on 198,SL1 or SL2, as we not 100% sure of which examples will operate it. At [DX] so far are; HA36 HA37 HA38 HA39 HA40 HA41 HA43 HA45 HA48 HA49 HA50 HA52 HA53

Thought that was more likely option, but possiblity it included HA15-18 remained, especially with HA38 being seen on the 50 only a few days ago.

Should be TR2 & TR5 but I'm struggling to see what operator would bid for this work due to the amount of buses needed.

Route 242 leaves Arriva tonight and its longtime home of Clapton Garage. With the exception of a short stint in the late 2000s when it was run out of Stamford Hill, the route has been based there since it was created in 1998.
The last bus this evening will be running number CT 11, forming the 0055 departure from Aldgate and worked by HV233 LJ17WVH.

I have always had a soft spot for the 242 and remember the Kentish Bus Olympians on the route when it was the 22B. I used to find route handy when it ran to Tottenham Court Road as it was usually fairly empty between there and Bank compared to he 8 or 25.

Ngl it’s gonna be sad seeing the 242 leave Arriva since it’s been there well forever actually except if you count 22A and 22B. I’ve seen a picture with the mmc’s on and I find it extremely ugly. Since it’s my only local route and my favourite route it’s gonna be sad seeing it leave arriva

Back then the 242 seemed the poor relation as it only reached TCR whereas the 8 and 25 got to Oxford Circus. Now only one route still gets from Bank to TCR with none of them reaching OC.

Also quick question, how do you know what the last bus is and it’s registration plate and running number because I’ve been dying to find an app/website which tells you this information in advance
