I'm going to miss the T buses. I do like a E400. Quite a sizable chunk of them will be gone once the Electrics for the 279 turn up I remember when the same batch for the W3 were new and being delivered, they looked modern and light years ahead; now they seem like a bunch of clapped out old donkeys. Its unbelievable that the Enviro 400 is a nearly 20 year old design. The 400'000~ miles worth of Finsbury Park and Back certainly haven't been kind on those WN T buses

It will be interesting to see if they arrive before the end of this year? Then in North London it will leave the 329 the final route allocated Ts, but that will likely change next year when the tender is renewed.

E is having issues with it's conversion which has contributed to holding back the 279

Love the unintentional word play Hope the same saga does not befall Tottenham and the 243, I assume the order was already placed for its electrics or is it something other than Streetdeck Electroliners (hoping a batch of Metrocities don't turn up ) 243 could run out of SF with AR drivers as the garage is allegedly electrified

Do you know if the T's from the W3 or 279 will transfer to Dartford to replace the 59 Reg T's for the 428.

According to a post on The Londoner, Stagecoach seem to be helping out Arriva on the 175.

I've noticed over the last couple of days that the 312 seems to be using 10 buses rather than the 12 in its schedule. I wonder if these buses are running and just not tracking?

From what I can gather, it was just a staged photo opportunity as the 11reg E400 batch at NS do still have the blinds for the 103 & 175 while those routes were Stagecoach operated before it went to Arriva in 2017.
