Is there anymore news on the chargers being ready for them to go into service on the 279? BristolRE said around Christmas the 279 should start getting them. Plans can change though obviously Should be December as above

I like vehicles. Buses, trains, cars, all of them. I made a song out of Stagecoach too.

Sorry if I have missed the answer but are the E400s on the 370 only a short term thing until the HVs go across?

The BZLs for Tottenham should be ready by spring next year, then no doubt, once chargers are installed, they will start sending HVs to GY to replace the bulk of what is there. At GY, that's the 66, 103, 370. Any 5 series DWs will probably transfer to EC or AR. Anything can change, but I assume gradual swap of DWs for T's from the 217, then T's from elsewhere ie 279, 329.

Has anything been confirmed for the electric buses 41 will be using? Along with the 627 hybrid vehicle?

A few of this batch has been at [DX] for weeks gathering dust I checked ES89 blinds, surprisingly no TH routes apart from 198 and it also has Norwood routes 😂 including 196 and 202 ES87 now has blinds for 64, looks like they have updated the blinds
