Loooool LMAO 🤣 Fortunately I did not have to do anything hahaha 😅 apart from send my anti EV spirits to TH. Joke to aside are there any routes excluded the 358 for obvious reasons as late to convert than the 64s? As I pointed out before only a handful of routes manage 100% EV. Out of interest, what are you classing as 100% EV as I'm sure it's more than merely a handful?

Though of course they will be 100% EV when more of the garage get electrified

Though of course they will be 100% EV when more of the garage get electrified I think the more routes that are electric in a garage the more chance it is of souly running with electrics. Garages like NP and A which have pools of deckers cope fine and actually the Ees at NP frequently visit the 476.

What LTs are expected to make the move to SF with the 19/N19 this Saturday? TBH could be a mixture of any LTs at Tottenham, from the likes of LT199 to any of the LT5** ones. They will no doubt intermix with the 76 stock 259 moves to AR around the same time IIRC

Likely mentioned already but have noticed that the newest batch ESs for the 64 don't have rear destination displays, ES19 seen as evidence on this

Why would it? Plenty of new vehicles don’t have the rear destination display.

It’s the spec Arriva chose - all ES’s on the 307 & 417 have bog standard number displays only. I believe Metroline have done similar, not sure about Stagecoach - meanwhile, Abellio/Transport UK have specified rear destination displays on their double deckers since they started ordering electric versions

Depends how far you want to go with the legacy. W3 was (in practice if not on paper) fully VLW for years before the move to LV saw it downgraded back to DLA. Yeah fair enough, wasn’t aware of the VLWs. I’ve only been into London bus since about 2010/11 so I’ve only known the W3 with the Ts, I was aware of the DLAs too On your topic of in practice if not on paper allocations, I’ve always wondered why AD have such a (rather unique) habit of completely changing on paper allocations, and not with strays but with nearly the whole daily allocations The 340’s SWs got changed with Ts (but that’s understandable due to SW issues) But the 34 has nearly fully used the 102’s 66-reg HVs nearly constantly over the last 5 years The 141 likes using the 14-reg HVs on paper for the 34 (I know a few are surplus) And the 102 seems to mostly use the older 141 G2 HVs Not to mention the constant switching of the 102/329 older and newer Ts, AND the 102 constantly using nearly all of the 329’s T while it also used a lot of 14 and 66 reg HVs, while the 329 was at AD garage that is. It’s very peculiar so much so that most of the buses spend barely any time on their own on-paper routes. I can’t recall any other garage that does this to such an extent Loads of garages has this, and they do feature there own on paper buses on its actual routes at times.

Although some went around for weeks covered over with black vinyl which they got to remove after delivery.

They will no doubt intermix with the 76 stock 259 moves to AR around the same time IIRC Not sure this happened. N19 last night operated by AR vehicles, and unless completely random vehicles moved to SF, again does not look like it happened. Not mentioned of LBR or Google Group's Bus News ... anyone able to confirm?

Is 19 going to SF being cancelled?
