Yes I believe they have. SE288 is currently on the 322 and SE289 was on 170 this morning. SE290 hasn’t made an appearance yet They are not refurb float but gearbox floats as the SE’s allocated to the 322 & G1 are having their ZF boxes replaced. Gearbox replaced already? I take it replaced with Allison boxes?

I’m very surprised the 93 at least hasn’t either had a temporary schedule or as has been mentioned a curtailment to Putney Heath for the duration of the road closure at South Wimbledon. Hartfield Road isn’t quite wide enough!

Hartfield Road isn’t quite wide enough! One of my friends that usually uses the 93 in the mornings now comes off at Morden Road and takes the tram to Wimbledon, where she sometimes then jumps back on the 93 to continue on.

Hartfield Road isn’t quite wide enough! If the council were to suspend parking on Hartfield Road then width wouldn’t be an issue. As they haven’t this is where a lot of the traffic problem is gonna come from. In my experience I have seen 163/164s SDs struggle to get past each other so with the reduced visibility on a DD it must be even tighter.

I won't be surprised if the fleet code will be "Ee" in line with single deck SEe class and previous E, EH and EHV classes. As this is not an all-ADL product, I think the code will include the letter B to indicate the BYD chassis. So possible codes are ABe, BAe or even BEe ! Considering that they have ADL bodywork on BYD chassis and have batteries requiring Charging, their code could be as easy as ABC.

First BYD ADL for NP = LF20XLA Get it on the 476 please Given that the LOTS update from last weekend refers to the first Ee's being due nominally for route 212, the word nominally suggests they could be used for another route instead. So maybe they will divert to route 476 and some WVNs be used on route 212 instead?

The first of the ex-route 100 SEs have now arrived in Plymouth, with 223/224/225 all sighted at Plymouth CityBus' Milehouse Depot. They are still in London condition. Source: Plymothian Transit www.plymothiantransit.com/This should help the remaining Eclipses come to Manchester, although a few have already been repainted into GNW Orbit livery and entered service.

Nominally in this case means on the 357,212,330 and 106, well 357 and 212 until the other routes are handed to Go Ahead as electrics are coming for the 4 routes. We may see strays but so far it’s not the norm for electrics to stray from their allocated routes. The 476 will likely receive Ees if retained by GAL anyway.

Swear down I cba being fooled a lot, is it true that Sadiq Khan and Wrightbus made an agreement to replace the E400 Tridents with LTs and STs?

Fleet procurement, by and large remains with bus operators, not the Mayor or TfL, and why would LTs or STs be ordered!? - Production of those finished 3 years ago and indeed many of the parts featured are longer manufactured.

Nominally for the 212, in the sense that the batch will be pooled with the buses for the 106, 230 and 357 rather than each route sticking to its own buses. TfL press releases have already stated that these routes are getting electric buses, I'd say there's no chance of them being diverted to another route now.

The first tender for which they were ordered is route 357, but route 212 may nominally have the initial ones for being a route gain. Something along these lines has admittedly already been mentioned.

Swear down I cba being fooled a lot, is it true that Sadiq Khan and Wrightbus made an agreement to replace the E400 Tridents with LTs and STs? Absolutely not true, I know there is a ''enthusiast'' on YouTube who is spreading the lies saying that a route is getting New Routemasters on a particular date and always saying that a Enviro 400 pollutes a lot despite the fact he has been told countless times by other bus enthusiasts saying that he is completely wrong on everything that he has said and yet he still insists on saying the wrong thing.
Also, The New Routemaster hasn't been in production for over two years now and there is no chance that will be back in production especially that Wrightbus are now under new owners after it went into administration last year.
