66 is getting a decrease from 15 to 14. According to fandom, they're using G3s. I personally don't think you should trust the Fandom completely, as there are a few trolls on it sometimes! But, they could get the ex 141 and 34 G3s. The 34/141 batch of HV will not cover the TVR of the GY routes. I believe it's been confirmed they are receiving HVs from AR, with the 34/141 batch going to DX for the 150/175.

There are now 9 ESs on the 64 ES17, ES19, ES20, ES24, ES25, ES26, ES27, ES35, ES37 Of which five (ES17/20/25/35/37) are operating their first service today - add 82054 on the 86 and that makes six - a while since six new buses entered service in London on the same day (?) Off the top of my head, the day the S2 started (2nd March), where 7 (I think) of its 9 buses entered service.

They’re not allocated to the 50, so the 50 doesn’t need them They are not allocated to anything .... utilising assets fully makes business sense, then withdraw older stock. Remove an unnecessary expense. I believe they are still being used as Rail Replacement buses, but I may be wrong

66 is a getting a -1 decrease not a increase, so one bus will come free. No it’s getting a +1 increase, from every 12 minutes to every 10 minutes. The increase to every 10 minutes is the Saturday daytime service, its already every 10 minutes Mon-Fri daytime. Its being reduced from 15 to 14 as stated when the tender was announced.

A bit of information for you all, save any speculation: - T43, T143 and T144 will be withdrawn - T146 will be withdrawn - T148 will be withdrawn - T157 will be withdrawn - T159 will be withdrawn - T160 will be withdrawn - T166 will be withdrawn - T119 transfer to the 217 - T122 - T128 transfer to the 217 - T139 and T161 transfer to the 217 - T225 and T226 transfer to Wood Green The speculation got that right Mr. T123 is currently on the 217. The tabloids were late to the party as T126 heads North

Remove an unnecessary expense. Further use will be made of the HAs currently at N. Withdrawing old stock for the sake of it will not happen. If it was planned it would already happen. Any ideas what’s moving into GY for the 66/370 PVR increase? 66 is getting a decrease from 15 to 14. According to fandom, they're using G3s. Ignore Disney Sponsored websites like Fandom. It’s not even been confirmed what the 66 etc is getting yet as no vehicles have been officially released

Its being reduced from 15 to 14 as stated when the tender was announced. They are no doubt covering the reduced PVR by tightening up the layover times. Not uncommon to see 2 or 3 at Leytonstone, even 2 on a Sunday.

Just wondering, has there been any confirmation of the date the 50, 194, 198 and 410 garage transfers are taking place? The rumoured dates for them were next Saturday when the new contracts begin, but I wonder if the moves have been deferred.

Most likely when all the ESs are delivered they will be phased movements.

Does that mean the next lot of ES to come will be for the 279, then after that for the 50/194/250/289?

The easiest one to introduce next would seemingly be either a full or partial conversion of the 50 using the existing infrastructure at BN.
