Meanwhile the 147 and 368 seems to keep dropping down the list for its buses to be refurbished!
Also if there are spare buses around why are they not on the 200.
The 101 is still waiting for its refurbished vehicles from 2017 to be fair still waiting now 101 expected to get new electric buses ๐ฏ๐

Peckham must have a lot of EH's and MHV's being refurbished at once as they have 6 spare E's from Merton and 2 EH's from Camberwell means they 8 extra buses. Most of EH61/2/3/4/6/7/8/9 & EH71/2/3 are being refurbed, /5 come back a week or two ago. No PM MHV for refurb Surely, there should be some for the 78 to be refurbished as it has a small MHV allocation?

I'll throw out a prediction (and it is nothing more than that) that the 118 and 355 are swapping garages because the 118 is getting extended to Camberwell to replace the 45. Obviously nothing is officially known yet but a consultation will probably be released after the election. If the 118 is retained mind you, the route still pending award

Ee274+ could very well be for the 321 who knows Could be ideal starting Ee274+ off on the 89 given BX already has the infrastructure in place, if the depot can handle extra buses without needing extra chargers. It should be a perfect fit baring spares as the 89's pvr is presently the same as the 333's. It also means the diesels can finally (sadly) move on and whenever SW's then ready to have those Ees the two routes/depots could then do direct fleet swaps

Is that the only electric route they have presently running?

Pretty sure BX will have chargers as well, no way they are charging 17 vehicles overnight on two pantographs. Besides the B13 also uses EVs out of BX and the SEe donโt have pantographs.

Yes - but I think that the 132's vehicles aren't only charged by pantographs, I thought they charged them normally overnight with opportunity charging only used when on stand as the route terminates near the garage. If extra chargers can be built quickly the swap idea is certainly feasible - the chargers would just be installed early for the 99/269/401. EDIT: Forgot about the B13! Thank you southlondon413

Just spotted Ee245 heading towards DS with a driver being type trained.
Maybe the 262 are due to be delivered soon.
