Is 297 cleared for 10.9m? Because I was thinking BDE2752-2768 and WDE2791-2808 can swap garages,so that EW have WDE2770-2808,and WDE2906-2928 for 113/142/204,then PV have the BDEs for the 297?They are not enough for the TVR,so one can transfer from HT following the 17 LT conversion. For what reason? What is the point? PV just needs to be electrified for the 297 to get its electrics and it's not getting BDEs. It would be better for EW to have a large pool of WDEs,and the Electroliner will be due at PV for the 83 anyway,so if the 83 can take 10.9m,then the buses can go on the 83,and likewise with the electroliners on the 297.

DEM1348 spotted blindless at PB 1347 and 1349 moved to HT recently. I guess 1348 is following them to see off the older DEs that have been topping up the 234 since the extension to Archway.
Surprisingly DE1327 also moved to HT and has managed to make a few appearances on the 393 according to LVF. I can't imagine it will stay at HT if more DEMs are transferring in.

Poor HT, majority of DEM's at PB are gutless and drivers complain about them nonstop.

Surprised the ex First DEs at HT are still running I thought that now the 384 is fully VMSS that some of its DEMs would go to HT to get rid of the ex First DEs.

Shouldn’t PV also have a large pool WDEs. Why not send the BDEs to a garage with other BDEs so that garage has a large pool BDEs like W or HT or PB of BDEs instead of introducing a new type to PV. Wouldn’t it be better for a garage to have a large pool of BDEs also instead of introducing a new type?

Will the W7 go full WDE when it’s being retained in August until the BDEs arrive?

I know it's a stupid reason,but I only suggested it because i didn't like the fact that the 142 didnt get the intended full allocation of WDEs.If the swap doesn't work then it's fine.Like I said,it's just an idea

WDE2907 (a 113 WDE) is due to be delivered to Metroline soon. I think they need to concentrate on getting the 35 or so vehicles in storage in service first before taking any more! (11 or 23-reg WDEs which still haven’t entered service, and about 23 BZL VMS’s for the 187/487, plus another 25 or so VMSLs incoming for the 318 and 226
