Just seen RATP DE 20022 at Croydon garage, devoid of logos and fleet codes, being driven by a fitter so it would appear some of these are moving over. One of the batch acquired for 371, 12 years ago Of course 371 starts a new electric bus contract tomorrow (although it’s new electric buses are not yet delivered), but maybe RATP is happy to loan it out prior to disposing of it What has happened to the new electric buses for the 65/281/371?

They’re being built & prepared for delivery

Pretty sure most of this confirmed already but Buses Magazine reports the below :
I'd have preferred route 214 to move to RA. Its shorter batch of SEe's is unique and it goes less near NP than route 153.

I was told some RATP E200's might be moving over on loan as there are a few Metrocities off the road at the moment. I think they are, one just went past my house. Weird fleet name of like OW or something?

Would image when the refurbs of the OM's finish then the loaned DE's (by GAL) will no longer be needed. I would imagine the fleetcode would be SEN.

Apparently DE20022 has become OM1! I’m surprised that hasn’t been placed into the SEN series as that is a Enviro 200. Unless it is a temporary loan?

Member tbe21 has filmed a video of buses on the S1:
Feautured is DE22 or now OM1 and the other actual Metrocity OM's. According to lvf no other RATP DE's or other buses transferred.
It appears, SE93 (9.3m) has transferred to C aswell for the S1 according to lvf.
Agree with DT 11 that it is surprising they aren't SEN they are Enviro 200's not from GAL, exactly what SEN is used for. OM doesn't fit at all. Since the loan of OM1/DE22 is temporary when it leaves will they shift the OM's one forward so OM2 becomes OM1 and OM3 becomes OM2 (get the point) or will the OM1 slot remain empty, which wouldn't be neat.
