It appears 8167 is what 8127 is deputising for at TF. Hasn't been seen in around 10 days.

For when WS closes, I think route 482 should have gone to TF and U5 to GW rather than vice versa. Then TF would have inherited the Heathrow routes and GW the others.

There is a replacement garage for WS opening with identical capacity so why would any routes need to move. Another pointless post of needless speculation without awareness of the facts

Another pointless post of needless speculation without awareness of the facts There is a few months between WS closing and the new site opening. And the capacity is 11 less at the new garage iirc.

A chance the LTs remain and electrics never get ordered? No as tender specifies electrics, so very unlikely tender will get changed especially as the mayor can brag along about investment in electrics and Outer London.

But in the current funding crisis TfL may want to look at changing contracts as they do not have money for such large investment into electric bus infrastructure

But in the current funding crisis TfL may want to look at changing contracts as they do not have money for such large investment into electric bus infrastructure My opinion, I would honestly prefer 111 to be LT operated. In fact, I hoped for a RATP retain but that is off the table...

But in the current funding crisis TfL may want to look at changing contracts as they do not have money for such large investment into electric bus infrastructure As far as I am aware the operators are still paying for electric buses and infrastructure upgrades themselves. If TfL have agreed a price and signed a contract they’d likely have to run a new tender whilst compensating both bidders by paying costs involved. Also it doesn’t say much for tendering if the losers bid, which may have been cheaper based off LTs, had no opportunity to appeal in this situation.

Also it doesn’t say much for tendering if the losers bid, which may have been cheaper based off LTs, had no opportunity to appeal in this situation. RATP would feel a bit hard done by in that situation if Abellio won the contract based off their offering of electrics when it was obvious that RATP would bid LTs, only for LTs to operate on the route anyway. TFL can't just switch around a contract specification just because they can save a few quid.
