So the 64 is getting the ones intended for the 64 I'm guessing? 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. I highly doubt any of the new ESs will enter service at BN, I'd expect the next conversion to be the 289, then the 250, and then the 50 or 194 at TH depending on which garage move happens first.

Looks unlikely it would happen with the others stored at N

Its not happening yet. Most likely when all the ESs are delivered they will be phased movements. So the 64 is getting the ones intended for the 64 I'm guessing? Does that mean the next lot of ES to come will be for the 279, then after that for the 50/194/250/289? I’m assuming it’s simply waiting on completion of infrastructure now as the routes could transfer next week and begin to use ES providing drivers are type trained and infrastructure is there as over 30 of the ES due for TH have already arrived into London garages with more and more being registered daily. I think the infrastructure isn’t there as most of the 70 odd buses I believe should arrive by the end of August. The 279s buses have already arrived so that’s certainly an infrastructure issue/drivers not type trained.

Good afternoon, I want to officially announce, the 64 will be fully ES run from Saturday 17th August. They are nearly done with connecting up the chargers. They then need to test that it all works before Saturday. If done before Saturday, they may send some out tomorrow even. An update, the chargers are now up and running so expect some out tomorrow, if they decide to do that. They will probably wait till Saturday Sir on behalf of the community we would like to thank you for the golden gems you drop on here. I and others on here appreciate it and DT 11 and capitalomnibus we appreciate your inside info. (Even if others question it as they don't know what really goes on I and others who understand appreciate it nevertheless) 🤝

T143, T144 and T159 all parked on London Road ready to be taken to Norwood The beginning of the end of an era for my local bus garage’s long suffering Ts. Good riddance I say. It’s time for ESs to come through!
