Looks like Metroline is due to have a Streetdeck Electroliner EV demo, which has the same Fanisa seats, glass pillar and Hanover LED blinds as GAL's EL1, but with the Metroline interior colour/moquette - flic.kr/p/2nmtXryWow looks so good. I wonder which Metroline route it will go on. |

Wouldn't rule out Metroline being interested in LI, especially already operating the 30/393 in the area, and wouldn't be that far from current garages at HT/KC. One day on the forum is all doom and gloom and Metroline need to close garages the next they can expand and buy LI. What about this as suggestion Tower Transit continue as normal 🤣 That is possible but there were recently some changes to Tower Transit's operating license which suggested they were looking to sell LI in the near future. |

Do you think that DELs could get around the 234? Not sure but would rather they be prioritised if there were some available for the 143/C11 |

The Ls had character but for me nothing beats the Metrobuses. The batches of Ls I liked were the ones on the 296 and the ones that were on the 253 before they moved to DX. As I got to know the Underground before the buses, and Underground areas were more often served by Metrobuses than Titans, I preferred Metrobuses by association. In later years I was encouraged by their presence in other large cities, especially Birmingham. It is partly through Metroline serving so many outer London areas with Underground lines that it is my favourite London bus company.  |

It can mislead us when planning trips for example. |

The ex-first VWs at HT won't be going anytime soon yet, will they?

The ex-first VWs at HT won't be going anytime soon yet, will they? Contract renewal for the W7 is August 2024 so on paper they should be safe until then. However with newer vehicles being freed up at HT in due course, they could be retired from the fleet early. |

It seems those that have already moved to PV are replacing similar 10reg VWs there. |

I don't think all of them will be needed at PV. will be a sad day if/when that happens, i really like the ex-first VWs. |
