It depends on what sense though. If they still work but have a horrible lifespan then maybe they could still be put in a short route with a lower PVR. True but Arriva are not going to waste money installing chargers at another garage for buses which are 10 years old and incredibly unreliable. Arriva should just keep the 194 in TC so these chargers are not a waste.

Hopefully, they keep the 60, 166, 312, 412 and SL5 and write out a cheque for more Electroliners for TC garage as well as new charging equipment.

Can’t find it using the search function, so sorry if I’m duplicating a question: but do we know if there will be any top up spare E200s for the 312? New PVR will be 14, with 14 E200s coming from the 325 to ight

Tonight I regrettably have to say goodbye to Arriva running the 325 for literally half of my existence. I have mentioned in the past that prior to 2010, the 325 was terrible and Stagecoach simply weren't up to scratch in terms of reliability. I wasn't in London on March 6th 2010 due to a confirmation retreat, much to my dismay, but I was melancholic when my mum called informing me of the change. ¨The new buses are clean and quick! I see it is more frequent now, that probably explains me getting a seat! I will do more errands in East Ham now.¨ Very bitter to hear my non-ehtusiast mum experiencing these things, but sweet to hear the new ushering of an era. For 14 years I have used the 325 for school, college, church and most of my local leisure activities. Most of my life at one time hinged on me relying on this specific bus and it was a torrid time before 2010. After Arriva the 325 was a joy to use almost to a point it was nondescript, a certified compliment when in contrast to the Stagecoach days. I'm not saying everything was perfect; the first 18 months or so saw controllers instruct buses to run light via Upton Park to make up time. Trouble was buses weren't serving the busiest part of its route (Upton Lane). That eventually stopped but beyond that, virtually no problems consigned to the route. Be it roadworks, accidents, West Ham matches at the old Boleyn ground and most notorious of all, traffic from the A13; buses on the 325 were run surprisingly well. I'm struggling to remember bunched buses over 14 years, that's saying a lot for a high frequency route! And yes there was a period where cleaners at DX were sloppy with the mop, but the overall presentation was brilliant by Arriva. Tonight ENL61-74 will retire in the only garage they've ever worked out of, something rather unique in the industry. As they do, DX will usher in the SL2, the first hybrids at DX and more notably the first buses with power blinds at the garage. I will cast eyes over the 325 as I always do every weekend from the shop I volunteer at in Forest Gate. I will likely hop on a GAL bus tomorrow as well but likely won't do an end-to-end until the electrics are in service. Goodbye to fourteen years of fantastic service, goodbye to Arriva's presence in the heart of Newham. Goodbye to Arriva running the 325.
