As I predicted HV201-HV206 has finished off the W3 hybrid allocation and the DWs from the 307 also going to EC for the 158 which I also predicted. The Gemini 2 HVs going to EC has come from nowhere though. Maybe EC want to keep a hybrid allocation for the 158? Idk. The DWs haven’t moved from the 307 though, so your prediction is incorrect. We’ve actually seen HVs from the 102 and 133 move instead.

Arriva will probably do what RATP did with 258 and make the 158 fully diesel.

Outside my local area but are the HVs that transferred into EC not needed as back up on the 259 / N279? 3 HVs are currently on the 259.

Idk but we will see how all these develops when the 259/N279 change garages.

Arriva will probably do what RATP did with 258 and make the 158 fully diesel. It seems that is the case - however the 158 was awarded with a fully diesel allocation. The HVs were only introduced as the 158 had a PVR increase, and those HVs had recently become spare from a cut on the 242 (I think when it was rerouted to Aldgate). Whereas the 258's tender award was based on using new hybrids alongside the ADEs.

Alright so let me clear up a few things. The 158 did indeed have a PVR increase. However this is where a bit of busical chairs came into play. The hybrids came off the 259 (HV201-206). I can't remember how soon after the 259 then became a LT operated bus. I know some buses off the 242 were temporarily on the 158 but up until recently the hybrids came off the 259.

Some GY buses no longer have the, “A DB Company” legals any more! DW207, LT139 and LT178 had that taken down! All three of them only have the Arriva logo without a DB company!
Saw those 3 today without a DB company!

7 TH bound ESs are parked on the Forecourt at N. The ENSs and the Ts have all been removed except ENS17.

They could use it as an excuse to repaint the 318's MMCs ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)
