London United will have placed an order for the new electrics following the recent 33 award. Very likely to be more BYD EV200s I would have thought. Not sure why everyone is so certain on this, the management at RATP has changed since the last orders were placed at the current setup may prefer alternative options. They may not be ADL/BYD fans. Yes, true, but Fulwell does already have a large pool of BYD SDs, with the 33 seeing daily strays of these vehicles. Not just that but also the 33 operated using such vehicles for quite a while as WK awaited electrification. I think that any new ordering strategy will apply from after the 33.

Is the W12 definitely getting ADL E100EV? I noticed that the londonbusroutes.net website which had this confirmed has now been removed and simply states new electric single decks.

Yes confirmed by an ADL article ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) Lets be careful, did it actually say that? It stated a certain number of E100EVs have been ordered without any routes specified. The number equals what would be expected for the W12 and B14, so we can assume, and pretty safely assume this is the case, but we can't say it has been confirmed.

The length of the new buses for the W12 is 8.5m as mentioned by andyc - it wasn't stated they were Enviro 100EV's but reliable source + ADL article with the number matching when throwing in the B14 (their only other route that currently uses buses of a rough similar length) would be pretty safe to assume, as you mention.

Anyone know about Metroline’s order for Uxbridge garage (UX)? It’s supposed to get electric SDs and DDs next month but I can’t find anything about bus type or fleet numbers for this order (but I think the numeric part of the fleet numbers starts from 3135 because the last confirmed order was the GB Kites which stopped at number 3134)

Are there officially allocated fleet codes for the 143/206/210/382 etc yet?
