Yeah I read that though not sure how that relates to what I said? Don’t know why I quoted your post. It was suppose to be a separate post Ahh, don’t worry anyway, I was just confused 😂😉

The notice Metroline issued on tender apparently stated that this would be part of the allocation. This was posted in the tender thread. DEL2259-65 are off to HZ for storage. DEL2259 has been used twice on the 190 since the 533 was lost. If DEL2248 goes to UX to complete the A10 allocation (which it should) then DEL2259 would be required as the 190's spare.

Is there any pictures of the buses inside HZ right now? Do you know the fleet codes of the buses in storage? Would be better nice to know.

Does anyone know what LT562 was doing at Edgware? I feel like it could be type training for a potential conversion of the 32 to LT operation. http://instagram.com/p/CkDePFFowFL

No expert but seems unlikely this. I think in right by saying that the only W route to serve Edgware is the N16? Unless W drivers do other routes but don't believe this is the case. Happy to be corrected but 32 converting to LT makes sense and we know that the route can take them.

Could be a while into the new contract before the new WDEs are in service, considering the 297's batch is expected in September. However, where would any spare LTs come from to cover the 32, unless from another operator?

I wouldn't rule out appearances of LT on the 32 as this was the case before it went to EW. However i've been told by a friend that a number of LT in the 8 hundreds have been shipped out elsewhere.

Wouldn’t type training be done at W and not at EW?

I think the WDE code was confirmed for the demonstrator, so would assume it's the same for the subsequent batches?

Is there even enough LTs for the 32? The proposed cuts have not been confirmed yet. I would much rather part converted routes get a full allocation like the 5 and the 415 (I know this route converted but lost some of its LTs).
Personally not convinced the 32 is converting as that but could have been in the location for any number of reasons but time will tell.

Can't see it converting overnight, but the 16s LTs would be an almost perfect fit. They won't need to move garage or operator.

The 415 lost all of it's LT's temporary rather than some but should get them back once the 111 converts to Wrightbus Electroliners. There are a number of spare LT's across all operators so should the 32 convert at some point, it wouldn't be difficult to gather enough even if the 5 also finished off it's own conversion.
