VWH2703/VWH2705 have entered service early and are being used for the U4’s school extras
E133-E134 are being used at Q for extras too, I think for the 42, seen a photo of it blinded for 42 Tower Gateway but from BX

hopefully the 92, 487 and H17 get extras as those two routes get really busy during peak times.

Great idea vjaska ! Go-Ahead are using the ex Abellio E200MMC's on school route extras from MG. In addition, I'm aware of the following fleet moves: SE10 and SE16 have transferred to Stockwell for school route extras SEN38 has/is due to transfer from Orpington to Croydon to be the 434's school extra. As it hasn't been out since Monday however it may have moved to Croydon already. |

Someone suggested maybe to have a dedicated thread for this aspect & I thought it might of interest to some - not sure if it's really needed so mods, feel free to delete if not required: People can post confirmed examples and I can keep this first post updated with the different allocations for each route involved? Abellio: Arriva: T36-37 - Routes 160/660 CT Plus: Go-Ahead London: Metroline: RATP: Stagecoach: 48025, 48033 - Route 181 Tower Transit: Sullivan Buses: E54-57 - Route 6** ELV7-9 - Route 6** TPL926-927 - Route 6** UNO: I believe it's been mentioned Uno might be doing an extra on the 395. They've also purchased a former Go-Ahead WS, so it might be for that? I'm only going to put something in that either has been confirmed or I've seen elsewhere - in regards to the 395, I've seen nothing suggesting what vehicle will be used for that journey. The WS has been acquired for the 383's extension but also currently, it's role will be a float to allow 605 to be refurbished according to a UNO source on Facebook. |

Many thanks No idea though my hunch is it will be delayed if the extras run beyond October. |

I think E133 and E134 are being used at Q instead for extras, transferring from BX. Correct me if I am wrong. They have been updated with Q blinds and I think are being used on the 35/42 I believe.

E133 & 134 were Q vehicles to begin with and have moved to BX - the top post was updated last night to show this so please use this for reference before making confirmed suggestions - I'm not looking for guesses or speculation. |

Stagecoach:
3 Solos from Cwmbran are apparently 47632/41/2 whilst the SR is 47974, and three E200s from South West should be 36376/78/9 (believed to be 8.9m vehicles).

This whole school extra buses situation is making the London bus scene quite interesting again. Alas its only temporary.
