The rear door on SEe330 wasn’t working earlier, which meant that passengers had to alight at the front doors. This also meant a wheelchair user waiting couldn’t board the bus. What’s weird is that the driver used the emergency button to allow off a buggy user but not to allow on a wheelchair The 439 batch do seem to be having a few teething problems - really this shouldn't be happening to a brand new bus. SEe329 was VOR for two weeks for some reason and has STILL yet to make an appearance on the 439, and both this and SEe330 seem to be getting subbed during the day for various reasons. SEe331 seems to be fine, but even this was delivered without a rear door alarm. The E200MMC's are usually solidly built IMO, but it's been noticed that ADL's quality control has slipped in recent years which is a shame as I do like their buses. This also happened to me when I had SEe252 twice (once on the 450 and again on the 439) when the rear doors malfunctioned and beeped continuously before they stopped working, though this was fixed through the bus being rebooted. Even still, that was when they were less than six months old.

Seen it a few times, down to a faulty door control unit.

The iBus on Ee244 displays 132 to North Greenwich, despite being on 264 It was doing the same thing on the 119 last week. Obviously a remnant of the software from its days at BX. Ee244 does seem to be doing a a tour right now as following BX it went to MB and has now turned up at C. Attachments:

I wonder why the 325 hasn’t converted to EVs yet with some of its buses temporarily going to the 376. Not sure what the delay is with the 366 running from RR on its electrical infrastructure
On that subject one of the 325’s EVs SEe299 (a 10.9m vehicle) is out on the D3 … yikes

In relation to the 325, I think the route will convert electric as soon as the 376 gets its intended batch of electrics. I think a 10.9m has been on the D3 before! I don't think there's a restriction but I believe it's similar to the 450 situation, it can operate with longer buses but it's simply riskier to do so.

ADL quality workmanship for the win!

Having 1 route running from RR might not mean the whole garage is ready for electric operation. I know WH is closing but for example it could be argued they are a electric garage but wouldn't be in a position to take on more work without installing more chargers as they only have enough for the small PVR of route 323.
I think a lot has to happen behind the scenes.

I think a lot has to happen behind the scenes. I definitely agree with you on that one. Perhaps there were only chargers installed for the 366 and the 325 ones are yet to come/be operational yet.

Maybe the 325 drivers haven't been typed trained yet?

I walked past SW this morning and saw a long Flexigrid truck which I guess is something to do with the 333’s buses

Looks like the 200's starting to get its kits back with Me14 today back on route
