I’m assuming Arriva intend to operate the 217 using Gemini 2 HVs, so far I have spotted HV14 HV20 HV30 HV35 HV36 HV37 Are there any other Gemini 2 HVs anyone has spotted? Looks like there are more of the 50s allocation out of service so could be a few more on route. I think the Gemini 3s we are seeing are simply spares from the 243/341 rather then actually part of the allocation. All the buses mentioned above plus HV167 and HV342 run the 217 today. They are still running on emergency made up schedules until something permanent could be drafted up.

Out of interest, are 217 changeovers done via public transport or light run to/from AR?

Two new TH registrations, presumably for the 50s batch. (source: BLOTW) ES87 (LY24JNV) ES89 (LY24JNZ)

These are on LVF, 289 batch. Don’t think the entire list as a whole has been put up yet so I’ll pop them here 😀
ES142e LY24FWT ES143e LY24FWU ES144e LY24FWV ES145e LY24FWW ES146e LY24FWX ES147e LY24FWZ ES148e LY24FXA ES149e LY24FXB ES150e LY24FXC ES151e LY24FXD ES152e LY24FXE ES153e LY24FXF ES154e LY24FXG ES155e LY24FXH ES156e LY24FXJ ES157e LY24FXK ES158e LY24FXL ES159e LY24FXM ES160e LY24FXO
Speaking of the 289/TH, surely it must be getting there now for EV conversion?😂

Wouldn’t ES85+86 be part of the 689s batch plus a spare?

LY24JNU has gone to a grey Audi, not sure if that helps but it would explain the out of sequence regs

Anyway should 689 not be a part of the 250 allocation as it's crosslinked to that route, or is that changing when the 289 is decked/electrified?
