Why? People more local both in the consultation and on here have expressed that they are pleased the changes aren't going ahead - surely, we need to respect their views? Well I’m sort of local as Ruislip isn’t that far from me. Surely I’m allowed my two cents. I never said your not allowed your two cents but voicing your two cents on your own is different to a number of stakeholders, some people on here even more local than yourselves and the people who responded who disagreed with the vast majority of the changes.

So the results of the consultation state that only the proposed rerouting to U2 will go ahead.Now we know the U1 has been saved,I wonder if the PVR for the U routes will change,or will they remain the same as they were awarded as TBC. Seeing as the U3 was awarded with DDs, perhaps the 350 and U3 can swap routings in Harmondsworth, just so DDs aren't going through tight back streets? The U3 has had regular full day DD allocations for months including right now where it is 100% TE, if they were concerned then it could just avoid any longer options being ordered. True. I’ve been on the U3 a few times lately and even though the Wise Lane area is very tight deckers can still get around. Plus, when the U3 was allocated with SDs they had 10.8m and 10.9m buses quite regularly on the route. And the deckers at UX are shorter so they are good on the route so far.

That may make Metroline keen to get Electroliners for the U3 and U4 rather then City's due to tight roads.

I also think they will likely go for the same manufacturer for both DDs and SDs at Uxbridge, to keep options open until the consultation results were known to Metroline. So could well be Streetdecks for the U3/U4 and 10.8m GB Kites for the U1/U2?

With the 46 already and City's for the 43/W7 so far, I wouldn't be surprised if the 153 got BYDs E200s.
