When will the new metrodeckers fully enter service on the 200? When they've been delivered and prepared for service

When they've been delivered and prepared for service I may be wrong but im sure i sure a previous post with an image of a couple metrodeckers at AL? Isn't worth putting some of the metrodeckers that have been delivered along with WHVs? Also does anyone know what the fleet code for the new electric metrodeckers?

AL currently have the demo and Me1 & Me2 delivered (unless this has changed very recently), so these 3 will be used to first do engineer and driver training, rather than be pushed into service with very limited driver and engineer knowledge

Ee65 standa at Walthamstow Central (97/357) bus stop due to a wheel being loose so the driver emptied out in Canning Town direction. Luckily the next bus stopped at the 97/357 stop to allow passengers on however the bus is quite full at Grovenor Park Road stop.

According to a reliable source elsewhere, the 413’s MCL’s will move with the route to Go-Ahead, albeit on loan until September.

Doesn’t surprise me, I’d expect this is related to the delayed introduction of electrics on the 200 which in turns could allow the 80 to convert to DD freeing existing 65 reg SE.

RATP obviously intended to use the 413s MCLs from 4th September for 117 gain Clearly if out on loan won’t be able to be refurbished during the 2 month gap However it is probable some of the E200EV (for 371 etc) will have arrived by August so RATP may be able to cover 117 by keeping on some DEs for a while, if GoAhead isn’t able to return them by 4th September

Do you know what buses the river road school routes will have will be the MHV's from the 63 or WHV's that currently being used at Merton for the 200 or the Wvl's from the 180. I wonder if the plan relies on future tender results, the 63s MHVs would make a perfect 13 bid out of Stockwell. They used to run the 24 so the 13 is a very realistic possibility, obviously not to mention PB were further from the 82 when they ran it. However should such tenders not be successful then the RR school routes could be a back up home. Intriguingly, this would mean route 13 converted from 1 batch of EvoSetis to another, admittedly slightly older batch (but not too old for the route).

It now feels an added honour to have been on it yesterday. For GA Ee's it seems to be a case of always the bridesmaid never the bride, as an Ee was my 2nd London bus ride both last year and this year (pipped to the post by a route 393 DEM and route 158 DW respectively).

GAL E200 SE7, 8, 9, 17 to Plymouth Citybus GAL E400 E39/41/50/53/55 to Plymouth Citybus Plymouth do seem to be heading for an all-Enviro fleet, apart from ex-Anglian Eco buses.

Mentioned on the RATP thread that the 413 (already known) is going across on the 3rd July but with hired MCLs temporarily. That would suggest the current DDs on the 200 are not going to be free by then otherwise its likely something (80, 164, 355) would have temporarily/permanently DD to allow SDs to move to the 413.

Is it known yet which RR routes will need to move to DS when the yard becomes unavailable, and when this would take place?
I think it was mentioned that route 15 would likely be moving - I wonder if the N15 would go with it, remain at RR with the 5, or be split between the two? Might have to re-introduce a part allocation of conventional hybrids rather than remaining fully LT.
Also, is DS considered an outstation of SI, or vice versa? When more routes move to DS, would vehicles be shared between the two?
