Shame to see the Scanias go but times change. Last I heard - the place of the 3 WSs on the 355 moving to MB will be covered by spare WHVs, that plan might have changed now, although it does seems to have kicked in recently with the allocations.

That'll be the first time it's used on a route which isn't the 355 . Any others due in?

It's unlikely that anything other than spare WHV's will replace the 3 WS's going over to MB, and if they don't have enough spare WHV's then I wouldn't be surprised if WHV42-44 are recalled from NX.

There's 36 WHVs at Croydon and after this 10 WSs - the PVR of the 119, 202 and 355 combined is 41 with 46 buses. So should be easily workable without recalling the ones from NX. I got told about these fleet changes a couple weeks back but I forgot about it I must admit. Nice to see a part-decker allocation on the 355 - vjaska your lobbying has paid dividends at last lol

Presumably this is a temporary move until the new electrics are on the 358 (SEes?)

I wonder if anything is set to replace 968/9 at MB?

Those electrics (whatever they are) are due in January 2021 - 200 requires those WHVs in the February so should fit together nicely.
