After all 5 TMPs being registered a sixth has just appeared on LVF. This brings the total to 12/16 buses in service. We could soon be seeing a full MMC allocation on the 393.

Wow things are changing with the OME's 9/14 was used for service today.
Are the rest of the YJ19*** being changed as they have been voided?

Went to catch VW1203 on the 240 today and it decided to disappear out of service just as I arrived in Mill Hill...

How do you know they’ve been voided? from the guy that does the bus lists on the web. The buses that now appear to be voided are OME2664 and OME2666 onward. Checked all the reg against the Gov site as well to check if they are on the system and only the non voided ones are. No idea what the new reg are. BDEs are all registered as LJ19 reg with the last 3 on Gov as 19 reg as well so no changes there. OME2658 has not entered service yet but is logged on Gov as YJ19HVL and buslistsontheweb has not noted any changes to its reg so expect that should be in service soon and be the last 19 reg to enter service for the OMEs.

The OMEs will probably end up being YJ69 etc

I don't know and I'm only speculating here but I think Metroline would want to keep them, they could use them to replace some older fleet like the DMs at AH or use them for a potential wins like the 283 for example.

I'd hope they'd start on the awful older DE's first - would rather sit on a DM than a DE anyday as at least I know I'll actually have legroom

They probably compete with the 358 Omnicitys at MB which have excellent legroom on the right hand side at the rear

I'd rather probably get on one of Ws 08 reg batch, which other then cramped legroom, tend to be okay. Though I prefer it when I ride on the 324 and the likes of DE1318 turns up.
