The 113's own batch hasn't arrived yet. I'm sure this is just a temporary allocation until the charging facilities are sorted out at PV. What if the PV charging facilities ain’t ready any time soon? Then it’ll simply just take longer than planned

So I'm guessing now that the 251 is fully VMSL and the DELs are now at UX the A10 is now in theory back to full DEL operation, thus allowing the U4 to go back to TE operation and thus transferring VWHs to AH for the 237.

I’m wondering if Metroline may decide to use WDEs on the 240 as well if there are enough chargers at EW as the West London garages doesn’t look like it’s going to be ready anytime soon. Equally I can see the 113 converting using EVs for the 297/83 with the 297/83 taking the 113s batch when ready to convert .

With the news about WJs Volvo BZLs entering service soon I wonder if that the VWs currently on the 190 will be the existing diesels for the E1. The 210 don't need them back (it can continue with the TEHs).

266 would not go into a AC as there wouldn't be any space for it. oh ok is there room WJ or W Lots of routes have moved to WJ so I don’t think so (H17,223,316,228, soon 28)

I wonder if the N7 will ever go back to full WHD operation instead of every now then. I remember when the WHDs was slowly being reintroduced to N7 in 2022 after they were removed from route in 2021 because they were temporarilly withdrawn then they were pulled off the route again in December 2022 just as it was about to fully WHD again. But even since they were reintdouced the WDEs have peridocially be seen on the N7.

Hybrids are driver preference on N7, also it’s more convenient as there are more of them, the WHDs are very problematic, many have ISA and they break down very easily and often so it’s just easier and a safer option to use hybrids.
