I know I've asked a similar question before, but thinking about routes near to where i live that Abellio could potentially operate (as there are no Abellio garages near where i live myself), route 139 sprang to mind as a route they could potentially bid for in the future, as Battersea is of course near to the other end of the route down at Waterloo. Would be good to see some Abellio action up here at Golders Green. That said maybe it wouldn't work given the distance between Battersea & Golders Green, when it comes to dead runs. .

The 13, 139 and 328 all finish near QB. Running long, unreliable, congested North London routes from Battersea of all places sounds like a disaster waiting to happen though.

It has more or less worked for the 27 though, despite running absolutely nowhere near QB.

I'm not too clued up on the geography of North London but QB presently do the 24 which ends at Hampstead Heath (not sure how much further/harder it is beyond there to Golders Green). In terms of staff travelling they have the advantage of the nearby Northern Line at Battersea Power Station for various points along the 139.

Abellio have changeovers at Hampstead Heath and Pimlico on the 24.

Are any of the Gemini One buses formerly used on the 31 (when it was operated by TT) now at High Wycombe?

Are any of the Gemini One buses formerly used on the 31 (when it was operated by TT) now at High Wycombe? 1) why are you asking about the 31’s ex buses in the Abellio thread and not the Tower Transit thread? Was has Abellio got to with the 31 and it’s ex buses. 2) here’s the list of where the ex Tower Transit buses have gone to here tangytango.proboards.com/thread/11468/london-buses-list just click the link at the top of the page, then go to Tower Transit and there you can see the ex Tower Transit buses have gone to.

Thanks a lot for that link though, that's very useful and helpful, i honestly appreciate you taking the time to get that for me.

Is 482 running a limited service today or are the rest just not logged on? There’s currently three. Also, I’ve seen 2530 return to GW without blinds. Does anyone know why the U5 buses are still at GW. Currently: 2529,2530,2531. At least the fleet is more organised rather than random ones here and there.

I've seen LVF claim that the 92 had no buses out while I was on one and spotting many, and 1 instance each on the 19 & 263 where a bus was "last seen a few days ago" despite said bus sitting in the stand within view.

I don't suppose anyone knows why 2532-3 are listed as a separate batch on build logs? Were they ordered as additional vehicles a little bit later, sort of like DLE30226? Yes as an additional top-up batch for the 415's extension to Old Kent Road, Tesco.
