LBR is suggesting the new PVR for the 312 will be 14. There are only 13 EMCs, one of which has not been seen since Sep '22, and 3 others not seen service this month, so it will have to give up it's claim to be 100% (on paper at least) electric, Trouble must be brewing. Arriva have only managed to get 4 EMCs in service today and it's sharing ENX16 with the SL5

Arriva have only managed to get 4 EMCs in service today and it's sharing ENX16 with the SL5 I doubt there's any "trouble," TfL and Arriva have probably agreed to let the 312 convert back to diesels because of the unreliability of the EMCs. Coincidently, the Sutton/Croydon changes and the 325 moving to Go-Ahead are happening on exactly the same day, so it allows the ENLs to move to TC for the 312. If the extended 312 can't take 10.8m buses, ENX16 and the two MMC ENXs at TH will probably become part of the 166's allocation with a couple of the ex-Stagecoach ENLs moving from the 166 to the 312. The 166, 312 and SL5 are all up for tender later this year, so will all probably get new electrics in 2025.

Unless the 312 gets its contract extended, maybe TfL won’t allow an extension for it due to it shortly receiving older buses

Last I saw it was an unconfirmed rumour, one of which I am taking with a pinch of salt... Despite the unreliability of the EMC's, I'd be surprised if this actually went ahead.

Whilst, it's not confirmed if they're being displaced by ENLs, 312 will need a part allocation as there aren't enough EMCs to cover the new PVR as mentioned prior

Had a little nose at SF on my way home, all the 254's are finishing there tonight with HV245 ferrying the drivers back to AE to finish. A bit sad to see the 242 go, I didn't mind that route. Last buses from each end will be HV233 on running number 11 duty 27 (00:54 from Aldgate Stand) and the last bus from Homerton that doesn't become a N242 is running number 6 which is on HV241 (23:45 from Homerton). View Attachment I must admit Arriva leaving AE did slip my mind with other changes happening this weekend.
Do we know how soon Stagecoach will take over the whole site?
If they already haven't taken over the whole site, I would imagine sometime in the coming week.

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 Add HA44, HA46 to the list

This is meant to be a loan to help cover the masses of unfit and accident damage buses at [WN]. 144 being the only [WN] route on the blinds
