Is the date for the 88 and 22 electric conversion in late 2024 really realistic?

Is the date for the 88 and 22 electric conversion in late 2024 really realistic? There are apparently problems installing electrics at Stockwell so I think we'll have to wait and see regarding the 88.

Do anyone know why MB got so many EN buses as 7 on route 208 at the moment. 5 of the 208s EHs are on Route 320.

oh ok thanks for correcting it looks like it's on the cards for 151 88 188 172 22 321 269 99 401 Presently not suitable for the 151 given it's about the same length as the Ees, 88 may be unlikely as well on that factor Turn radius much better though, it not directly about the length, its wheelbase, overhang lengths and turning radius which cause issue

Jury’s still out on the 473 as well which also seems to be in a bit of limbo atm

Is the date for the 88 and 22 electric conversion in late 2024 really realistic? There isn’t any date for both routes going electric - the date for the contract isn’t a direct indication of electrification.

Do you know if the B16 will be converted to Double Deckers on it's next tender or will get new or existing Electric buses. They could convert it to a hybrid double deck operation given the amount of routes that will be releasing a lot of buses. I could see it using EHs from the 172, not sure why!

Do you know if the 35 will keep it's part allocation of Electric Buses or will it revert back to Hybrids and also is there any news on what the 321 Electric Buses will be.
