The U5 was meant to remove the need for the 350 to be DD by swapping routings but I think some early journeys to Heathrow can be quite overloaded at times. Would swapping the 350 and U3 routeings south of West Drayton and decking the U3 work? No because that won’t help anything that would leave the Heathrow Central to West Drayton with a less frequent route and surely that section will need a route with double deckers.

The E1 E40Hs have made an appearance over at QB on the 414 Some of the 414's 59 reg buses have been stood down as it appears they'll be the first batch of E40Ds to depart...probably why the hybrids are on that route for the moment rather than the 156.

So Abellio won't be using this in the future?

So Abellio won't be using this in the future? They probably will, it’s only on trial.

I don’t see this returning to Abellio as they’ve done this before such as 2400 which was the trial MMC and was kitted out in Abellio interior yet eventually went elsewhere.

Saw 2033 doing a blind change at Hatton Cross this afternoon whilst on the VX26, it seems to have blinds for all of BC, QB and WL's double deck routes apart from those which are LT operated.

They must've had further updates as I've only seen the BC routes plus QB's 49, 156, 344, 345¹ and 414 on the rolls. ¹ - started contract at WL but now QB based
