Just spotted Ee245 heading towards DS with a driver being type trained. Maybe the 262 are due to be delivered soon. Ee245 is on the 157’s batch

Didn’t realise as I have not checked LVF today. Guess that explains the driver type training I spotted.

Are they the intended ones for the route? Iv totally lost track of where the ones for the 151, 157, 213 are now. Yes, Ee172-186 were intended for the 213, Ee243-262 for the 157 and Ee263-273 for the 262. Out of interest,why does the 157 have 3 spares?Ee243-262 totals to 20 buses for a PVR of 17,and since the 262 has only one spare,perhaps Ee262 can move over 😁? Also does anyone know the confirmed fleet numbers for the 333/473?I believe the 473 batch will come first due to issues at SW

Also does anyone know the confirmed fleet numbers for the 333/473?I believe the 473 batch will come first due to issues at SW PVR is 17 but 18 bus used due to AL310 being an oddity where it does a rounder in the early morning (Leave Morden 4:40 then leave Crystal Palace 5:34) before coming back AL at 6:38 before leaving again at 9:39 to do a proper duty, hence it makes the PVR lower than the actual usage of vehicle's as it avoids the morning peak when it is the busiest part of the schedule

It’s a long route with some large hilly sections.

Whilst it not as steep the run along Wrythe lane can be quite hard on the engine aswell.

Then there’s the hill in Wallington as well. Not much of an issue individually but combined could create a difficult day for the Ee.

That still leaves the 22, 88, 101, 131, 172, 188, 280, 320, 321 still unconfirmed.
