Good for Metroline The buses on 143 and C11 will be only routes where will be near 14 years old in 2024 Some of those currently used on these routes would be nearer 15-16 years old, but maybe the 235 fleet will replace some of the older DEs Can the 143 or C11 take the longer buses, although maybe another route could take 235 fleet releasing newer DEs

All sd routes at W can take 10.9 buses.

There is a large-scale package of changes to the bus network in central & inner London currently being formulated which is expected to free up many buses, especially LTs, for potential use elsewhere.

28 could be coming spare from the 148. With it possibly leaked about reductions on the 30, 43 and 113, Metroline could have a fair few buses on their hands if the 17 gains LTs from another company.
Should be able to existing retain the 186 and 204.
