Certainly for the 4/90/153, but no electrics so far at AH/AC so could go for any type there. Considering WJ will be getting just one electric DD for the 206 (a BDE), I could see the 98 get BDEs too, allowing to swap round the 206 bus if needed? Is there even any need to get one new bus for the 206? A lot of hybrids are about to be made spare and one could definetly made spare. One BDE has been ordered |

It is already allocated a VMH for school journeys though does like to stay out longer during the day at times. |

Possibly but more likely it would have potentially made the contract end dates a problem with the SDs on a full 7 year term and the hybrid only allowed till 2030. Ridiculous I know but that's what heppen when targets are set. |

Was wondering what's going to happen to hybrids on 98 4 90 and 113s
Was thinking 81 VWs to replace VWHs or VMHs next Tender

They could head to Manchester They could convert the 81, then displace newer VWs. I was thinking 81 to get VWHs and 28 get VMHs 190 convert to full DDs use buses from 98s VWHs I know 266 would need temporary buses untill new buses arrival tender 95 could be retained new contract DDs from 90 buses |

It seems to me it does not currently have enough as it's always using 120's VWHs or VWs. It's likely if more hybrids go to AH/SG, they will fully convert the 237 before the 81. |

The 120s batch is off for refurb, and the 120 needs VWHs so it uses the 237 batch, with the 237 using VWs and the 120s batch.When the rest of the VWHs from HT come and the 120s buses are refurbished, there will be no need for VWHs to transfer, unless Metroline do decide to convert the 81, which is likely given the growing pool of hybrids at AH/SG. |

The 237 probably won't fully convert to VWHs until more electrics enter service on the 113 - as Evosetis need to move from EW to HT to release them. |

Ah. Makes sense. What of the TT VWHs that are at HT? Will they return to AH for the 237 or will they just be made spare. |
