Would Abellio not want to use the LT6xx currently at TF on the H32? Not sure a refurb of 6xx examples will be put ahead of 1xx stock which effectively is what would be required for a new contract. Has the criteria for LT refurbishment been published yet? Current examples being refurbished show no correlation to contracts starting. The 149 is likely to include LT583-602, which starts about the same time.

Would Abellio not want to use the LT6xx currently at TF on the H32? Some of the 600 series will probably make their way back to the 415 - LT143-154 pretty much fits the H32's requirements But the 6xx pretty much fits the requirement for the 415/H32 combined.

And the 100 series ones on the 111 fit the H32's requirement perfectly, it's literally just both of us guessing - for all we know, there could be a conversion plan ultilising some of the remaining 600 series not returning to the 415.

Bearing in mind the Electroliners are in the process of arriving 3002 and 3004 are reported delivered. There were 3 Electroliners at QB last Friday. I will be there this Friday and update if needed.

Did TF ever have any 10.8m Plaxton Pointer 2s allocated to any route?

Did TF ever have any 10.8m Plaxton Pointer 2s allocated to any route? W6**UGM’s for the R70 S515/6/7JJH for the Kingston University shuttles. Was probably more that I can’t think of at present.

2486 was involved in an apparent fire whilst working the 156 earlier this afternoon- now listed as VOR.

LT34 seen heading in the direction of TF so possible transfer.

2486 was involved in an apparent fire whilst working the 156 earlier this afternoon- now listed as VOR. Cant help but notice that a huge amount of ADL buses seem to be catching fire, always seems to be ADL buses this is happening to, and very few from other manufacturers. Just relatively recently 2486 2567 EH133 (GAL) ADH45031 (RATP) ADH45038 (RATP) DDE20294 (RATP) 12394 (Stagecoach) 12274 (Stagecoach) 2510 (Stagecoach, ex CT plus) And still I’m sure I’ve missed more, and this doesn’t even include provincial fleets. A lot of Tridents had this happen too. I know it’s not exclusive to ADL (the wrightbus HV fire at Brixton a few months ago), but no other manufacturer has a list this extensive. I wonder how many more will have to happen before recalls start happening. EDIT: I did think about if it’s because there is a much higher volume of ADL products than most others, but 1) there are actually more Volvo G3’s in London than E400 MMCs and 2) I did quickly work out the proportion of fires to the volume of products and is far heavier in ADLs favour.

A car slammed into it, caught fire in its own engine which spread to 20294. It’s not really the same thing.

DDE20294 I don't think should be included given the circumstances around that fire seem to be completely different to the others and likely, not being the fault of the actual bus itself. EDIT: southlondon413 beat me to it

An all the others are ADL hybrids ... although there were plenty of Tridents that combusted as well.
