8786 joins 8787 at GW. I wonder if more YX12s are to follow. Seems rather odd, although that’s probably why 8528 has returned to BC. Not understanding why 12regs off the 433 are going west. If the 433 does convert to 59reg, no logical reason as to why it should lose its own buses.

Could be that their present buses are being reallocated early?

If the 433 does convert to 59reg, no logical reason as to why it should lose its own buses. There's not enough 59 reg's remaining to displace the entire 433 allocation anyway so that won't happen. I'd love to know the reason behind 8786 moving west though, it's an interesting move for sure. Not understanding why 12regs off the 433 are going west. If the 433 does convert to 59reg, no logical reason as to why it should lose its own buses. The route's due new Caetano electrics from May in relation to contract renewal. Could be that their present buses are being reallocated early? I believe 8777-8787 are leased so chances are they will be departing off lease once the Caetano's arrive.

1521 has been spotted in Croydon today. “Looking to be doing 433 learning” Quote from a mate who has spotted it.

Although a non-Abellio bus a bit of the 322's future with this example of the 8.7m Metrocity EV, the bus on Metroline (Commercial) route PB1. youtu.be/mHxUD1pww_w

Will the 111’s Electroliners gain the same seats as the 63’s EVs?

It would be a nice upgrade from the SP and the LTs seats which have fully worn out (though to be fair, the seats on the 111’s SPs were much more comfortable than other batches). Although not sure how they would look on a wright bodied vehicle.

About the Metrocities I actually like them, good motor but my only concern is how even a non-busy route like the 322 can feasibly operate with these tiny buses. A shame they don't produce 9.0m-9.3m buses, I personally think that 9.3m or 9.2m is ideal for many of these single-door routes.
