It is only a couple of weeks until Schools restart. What part of only charging facilities exist for the 64 are you not getting… The extra buses that are being delivered will remain in storage until they are needed just like the 64 batch was… The bit I am not getting is there are at least 21 vehicles available for use at TH and it is arbitrary that they can only exist for the 64 and not anything else. The new buses ARE needed because the 250’s contract starts tomorrow, even if it’s just one or two initially. Just because the contract starts tomorrow doesn’t mean they should be used. Only the 64 drivers I believe are type trained so please stop imagining something that’s not going to happen. TFL also allow grace period for these conversions. Overall not being harsh to those curious but the companies know exactly what they are doing… 21 vehicles available yes that will probably be mostly used on School Routes and Route 64 until the next route is converted.

Ok fair enough but can I request you stop being so rude and aggressive about it? I am not a driver and I was just asking a reasonable question.

I did explain however the situation of TH which is very similar to BN. The 50 drivers at BN however are type trained…

To be honest, there is only one whole week of the school holidays left, so probably not worth attempting to run the school route ESs elsewhere before they are needed to run the school routes.

I’m assuming those Lv23EZ* batches of ES’s were intended for N137?

I’m assuming those Lv23EZ* batches of ES’s were intended for N137? N137 was using ESs as a temporary measure. Why would a company buy buses specifically for a Night Route anyways?

I’m assuming those Lv23EZ* batches of ES’s were intended for N137? N137 is on a hybrid contract. The ES allocation was temporary, as N137 moved with the 417, which it was temporarily crosslinked to. N137 will get electrics whenever 137 does

They are not allocated to anything .... utilising assets fully makes business sense, then withdraw older stock. 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. 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 Just to confirm now the 66 will get HVs tbc where they are coming from mentioned in the TLB this month…
