Maybe some of the RATP LTs will go to Metroline to complete the 17's allocation? Being TfL owned I imagine anywhere's possible My guess is that will stay with RATP for the H98 at Hounslow if retained of course .

According to this month's LOTS the 211's reroute from Waterloo to Battersea Power Station's provisionally set for June 29th, the same day the route itself is transfered from RATP to QB (Battersea). It's also mentioned that the LTs to be used will be the one TUK already have in-house, leaving wonder as to where the RATP-held Borisbuses will be allocated next. The 77 from the same day will reroute to replace the 211 between County Hall and Waterloo Station Am I right in assuming the 77 stand at South Bank will be unused after the reroute?

Yes completely gone. I’m surprised this wasn’t done a long time ago but yes the space wasn’t available.

Hey random question, I've probably missed this but does BC still have the MMC 2400 demonstrator running? Just came to mind. If you search the reg on LVF it says UNO have it right now, last seen on the 643 today, and its last use under BC was in December 2016 I believe it went to WL for a while before departing, or was it at WL prior to BC?

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. 2407 and 8186 are now carrying the “Transport UK London Bus” logo.

BC may finally be about to start rolling out the TUK logos onto its buses as I noticed 2407 with the new logo in Purley. Though that’s the only bus I’ve seen with the new logo so far. EDIT: 2404 has it too. I was controlling at Oxted on Sunday, and noticed the majority of BC buses still had old logos, however some had the new logo on the blinds already

Kite 1719 is on stand in Greenford, guessing doing the final E6 preparations for tomorrow Is the E6 expected to start with a full allocation of Electroliners? Not sure it's been mentioned if the full batch has been delivered, or if DH has enough chargers yet? Also I wonder where the current 11/12reg DEs will go - perhaps to replace older examples at W? Plus the H13 has just been retained, so may need a full allocation of 12reg DEs? And I assume the E1's ADHs will likely move to the E3 to replace the remaining 60reg? Might need a few more from the 266 as well?

All of 133s Electroliners have entered service but they’re not all at QB for the 133 what’s up with that? Some at TF some at WL.
