Just to confirm now the 66 will get HVs tbc where they are coming from mentioned in the TLB this month… I’m guessing after electric conversion unless TLB is saying they’ll be released earlier? Yes that is correct…

Yes, using drivers from AR and WN I believe. I'd suspect in time it will move to a garage like WN or E, if space is (made?) available

No real need to change too many routes around as Edmonton is an outstation and may be useful when Tottenham need space for chargers to be fitted for electrics so 123 etc could move in as well as store the electrics there when they arrive. WN sometimes use the W4 buses on the W6 if need be, so it's good to keep the routes where they are for now. At some point there will be more Busical Chairs once Wood Green gets chargers put in for 329 etc. So W4 could move then to EC with W6 Leaned something new that the 217 is officially at EC, at least we'll see cameo appearances from the DWs I think the frequency increases on the 217 this week as well

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. 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… Fandom was right all along.

So maybe the W6 and W4 can swap with 217.

So maybe the W6 and W4 can swap with 217. EC is now an outstation of AR hence why it is based there. What would be the point of moving the 217 when it is currently up for tender causing disruption to W6 drivers, could possibly even loose the route… As mentioned before the most logical place to run the 217 is E with WN in second place, however common sense needs to prevail here and leave it where it is for now until further notice…

At night it's hard to see the route number. Some of those T's are a state, like T161 with thick black duct tape holding the nearside engine cowl shut

Is the 217 not about to go out on a one year tender starting soon? they will probably wait for the outcome of that result. Even Stagecoach have gone for a lazy style display with just the number on the W9.

Hopefully T146 is in a better state than T161 which was making a racket yesterday
