Are any of the single deck fleet at Northumberland Park ex-Abellio? Nope, they used to have all ex First single deckers but I believe there are no longer any SEN’s at Northumberland Park. The only ex Abellio E200’s in the fleet are all at BX and MG.

That's the general advantage of pure electric motors over petrol/diesel engines, the torque tends to comes in instantly during pullaway. Would be interesting to know the torque, horsepower and weights of the Me and Ee class deckers for comparison. Would also 'ideally' love for both types to be used on the same route for comparative trials, though not sure if the Metrodecker demostrater's already done that alongside Ees. Incidentally are there any hills the Ees climb roughly as steep as Wimbledon Hill? The A1 out of Archway ............. about halfway up - the BDE was winning hands down and was a few lengths ahead going out of sight over the top (not very scientific admittedly) Attachment Deleted

Ok I’ve noticed a lot of LTs have become spare so could the 176 be fully converted or even the 188 ( I know it failed but could it not be re tested the 168 failed at first)

Also, it may had have a lackadaisical driver changeover at Upper Holloway.

I was just pleased at how perfectly they'd set the shot up for me 👍

Have reason to believe today is the last day of the 718, and the 118, 280 and N44 will revert to their normal line of route tomorrow. Can anyone confirm?

The 168 was down to its stand at Hampstead Heath but other routes that have failed have since not seen any conversion such as a bunch of routes serving Paddington, 94, etc

Northing about this on the TfL website page for bus service changes, where did you get your information? They are likely looking at the LBR site and seeing it has the diversion date ending tomorrow but a quick council website check shows from their May update they still have a few weeks work to complete before the bridge opens. It doesn’t confirm any dates though.

It doesn’t confirm any dates though. Bridge reopening delayed twice then. Gives me more time to head down there and check it out. Given the whole route takes around 15 minutes I doubt I'll find much!

Not sure if anyone can confirm but have heard that the 646 is expected to use SEs from September with the SOEs going from RR at the end of school year with the, the 646 has also started another contract which the 09 reg SOEs are too old for so does seem like a reasonable statement but was wondering if anyone knows any details on this if it is true?
