Will there be any more DELs from the 206 be transferred to the 225/386? Where did you hear DELs were moving from Metroline to GAL? BTW I doubt DELs can get round the 386. SEN21 was a former DEL (since scrapped) which worked on the 225 and 386, and SE152 is pretty close to a DEL.

SEN21 didn't work the 206 or 226 - it was new to Northumberland Park for the W16 and once the W16 was lost, it's batch transferred south to MB for the R11. Not all buses that run on the 206 or 226 are ex First, most are but there are a few DE's new to Metroline that run on both routes.

Will there be any more DELs from the 206 be transferred to the 225/386? Why would Metroline transfer buses to Go Ahead London. None of 206s buses have been transferred to GAL. The 206 hasn’t lost any of its DELs. You don know that Metroline aren’t the only London operators that have ex First London. GAL also have ex First London buses. GAL acquired ex First buses when GAL purchased NP an ex First London garage in 2012 and then 2013 they purchased more ex First buses when they took routes 193, 368 and 498 plus school routes 608, 646, 648, 652, 656, 667, 679 and 686 from First London and the First buses that they were using came with them. This is after First left London. Then bought some second hand ex First London Enviro 400s for route 51. So no GAL didn’t take any Ex First London buses from Metroline.

SEN21 was a former DEL (since scrapped) which worked on the 225 and 386, and SE152 is pretty close to a DEL. SEN21 was not a DEL it was a DM. There’s a length difference between the two. Like for example SEN21 is 9.6m and DELs are 10.8m

I think they should keep the 61 reg T's at Dartford for the 428 and get rid of the 59 Reg ones that came from Barking and Keep 2 HV's back from Route 335 when they get there replacements from Route 319 to replace DW450 and 455.

I'm wondering if the HVs displaced from the 335 will indirectly create newer buses for the 466. The HVs could stay at DT and send some DWs over to TC to oust the Ts as I think there are only 12 DWs for the 466 at the moment.

I was thinking that they could be replaced by pre-existing and ex-TC Ts on the 301 and 335, as well as replacing around twenty DWs on the 99.

The DWs on Routes 99 269 & 401 don’t need replacing... Routes 301 & 335 are staying fully HV.
