VWH2060 HD > G. Interesting There is 1 extra VWH than required out of the ex 125 batch for the 186 so perhaps that will form part of the 92s allocation. Wonder whether we might be receiving another 12 reg TE soon, some of those 58 reg are knackered particularly 935 & 941. I had wondered a while back about that spare VWH and whether that would allow Metroline to snatch the 605. All will be revealed when that result comes out. Another factor to this move could be maintenance related, the 282 TEHs continue to be very unreliable so this could be temporary cover. |

 certainly did not see that one coming!! I presume little type training was needed due to the other Volvo products there. |

I would assume so, especially as it's unclear how long the Optares will be out of service for. Not sure how an allocation has been formed on the 200 the last few days since nothing has transferred into AL, presumably Go Ahead have just been utilising all possible spares. As you say it seems the B5LH chassis means these can be more easily loaned between garages, I guess they only stayed at SI until now as the blinds weren't updated to include DS/RR routes. My prediction now would be for the full batch to follow for use on the 200 in the short term, later moving to C for the 264 until electrification is complete. Then once the new BYDs are in service on the 264, the EHVs can go for refurbishment, ready for service at SW on the 91. |

The same reliable GAL source that confirmed the deployment of the EHV fleet on the 91 has also confirmed it'll run out of NP garage. |

The same reliable GAL source that confirmed the deployment of the EHV fleet on the 91 has also confirmed it'll run out of NP garage. It wasn't confirmed, but was suggested here as likely soon after the 91's tender award by a Go Ahead source - due to both space constraints at NP and to fill space from the 322/432 losses (plus PVR cuts to other SW routes). The EHVs are one short of the 91's TVR, unless Go Ahead allocate the route one less spare - if at SW there would be a pool of EHs/WHVs available to cover this - however NP currently has no hybrids other than LTs. I wonder if ST812 might move with the route to NP as a spare, given it won't have the same issues at Crouch End? The 184D's allocation was switched to using an LT for the same reason. |

I don’t recall any reliable source suggesting SW. |
