So are the Ts coming to just the 66 or the entire DW fleet at GY replaced? Does this also mean every Arriva garage has had Ts? GY - 66 now TH - 64/198/250/289 DT - 229/428/492 BN - 417 TC - 412/466 E - 279 AD - 102/329 WN - 329/W3 EC - 217 DX - 150/173/368 AE - 78/168 AR - 341 CT - 38??? SF - 253??? I was wondering GY routes buses for 66 103 370 would be refurbished like HVs 2 buses

Interestingly I noted ok one of the newer GY blindest, it features ‘North Romford, Hillrise Estate’ and ‘North Romford, Chase across’ - The 175 makes sense as it’s reverted back to the North Romford IBUS destination recently, the 103 however on IBUS still appears as Chase Cross, I do wonder whether TFL may revert it back to North Romford, Chase Cross as it’s appearing on blinds, the Chase Cross blind remains still but it’s an additional blind, saw it on one of the LTs which also feature the Romford, Mercury Gardens rename for the 370. Is that what the are is known as? North Romford sounds like one of those incredibly broad descriptions for an area given everything north of Romford is technically North Romford. I'd of thought "Chase Cross, Hillrise Estate" for the 175 and just "Chase Cross" for the 103 would make a lot more sense especially as the final stop on the 103 is simply called "Chase Cross"? Most people know that part even up to Hillrise Estate as 'Chase Cross'

The 341 at AR had them, and there are images of Ts on the 38 too however those might have been when it was at AE with the 78 rather than CT The ones on the 38 were for the 38/242 renewal. These then went to [AE] when the 78 was converted to double decker. They were still used on the 38X after when there was no New Routemaster from LT1-8 available from [AE] as they had blinds for the 38.

I am assuming ES133-37 are RWE/F/J/K/L and the next 2 expected in the sequence are not showing as registered. So remains possible, although not probable.

I was wondering GY routes buses for 66 103 370 would be refurbished like HVs 2 buses I think it's more of a mild refresh, fresh paint, logo's, though they might do well to tell McKenna, the only blind producer left, to start making the blinds now
