Interestingly the vast majority of BC’s buses are still carrying Abellio logos. Only buses that have transferred across or were refurbished recently (like 8206) are carrying it.

When is the 207 due for tender renewal? It still has a part alloc of Diesel E400Ds.

1717, a brand new route E6 allocated Kite has been spotted on delivery towards London yesterday. I was wondering just yesterday when they’d start appearing. I also wonder how close DH/GW are to being able to run with EVs. Can never keep up with which of those two garages the E5/6/7 will run from when the infrastructure is ready 😂

Can never keep up with which of those two garages the E5/6/7 will run from when the infrastructure is ready 😂 Routes E5/E7 will run from their current garage - Southall Armstrong Way when both routes get converted to a full electric operation. Route E6 will run from Hayes Dawley Road when it comes transfers to Transport UK on the 25th May. Route 482 has moved to Armstrong Way in anticipation of this route moving in.

In addition, DH is already wired up as it operates the U5. So there shouldn’t be too many issues running electrics on the E6. I’m expecting it to have an electric allocation from day one actually.

Apparently a kite (1701) was on the 130 I’m guessing as an extra due to the ongoing Trams disruption on the New Addington branch.

Today I observed 3x 285s bunched together at Feltham. Wonder what happened as TF are usually alright on it, with minimal bunching.

TF were well and truly rattled by the 111 gain and it seems things haven't fully recovered to their previously excellent state. Still notice a fairly sub-par service on the routes in my patch even with Manor Circus clearing up.

A total of 4 24 reg Electroliners at TF for some reason?
I know one is for the 111s increase but the other three?
