So from a Facebook post on a group called Route 200 SW LONDON posted 2 days ago says the Me’s won’t be back for 6-8 weeks whilst the fault is currently being rectified. Doesn’t say what the fault was. Source appears to be a 200 driver

Went on the 208 a few days ago and I actually liked my particular bus I was on. However that 171 dead run from TL to Downham and then back to TL is so time consuming going through Old Bromley Road. But the 171 is a route that is somewhat tricky to potentially divert or extend because where can it possibly go. Grove Park is already taken care of by the 136 and 181. Not too sure if Hither Green has space. I did see a stand by Old Bromley Road but wouldn't it overbus that area?

I think it's close to 10 to 12 mins down there and back up to TL in order to turn around.

What will happen to the WVNs when the 476 and the 131 get their electrics and hybrids respectively? WVNs clinging on for dear life.. I thought 476 was getting hybrid mix of EHV / MHV last Saturday but still 100% diesel with the B9TLs... Even today I saw an Ee and a WVL on it

The fleet code "EL" just means electroliner right?
I thought they would have gone with "WEL"

EH227 has “We are part of the Go Ahead group” on the front, rather than the Go Ahead logo
