With regards to the 262, the WVNs are getting quite old and Go Ahead seem to have a preference of Enviro 400s over Gemini 2s, so they will most likely get withdrawn soon unless needed for a short time for routes such as the 99, 269 and 401!

I think Ee243,246-252 and 260 and 262 have entered service from the 157 batch as Ee244 is still at Croydon and Ee245 is Type training at Henley Road.

Hmm, I seen a report that says the 10 acquired Enviro 400s from NXWM are the first vehicles to sport the new fleet numbers 80951-60 (non-London), and hints it will be applied to others. That will be the ones acquired by Carousel to cover the need for extra buses when they start running the ex Arriva routes at the end of the month as confirmed on Oxford & Chilterns Bus Page. If that is the case that would be the end of Ee, SEe, EH, WHV, MHV, E, SE codes being used on Go-Ahead London buses should they also start using 5 digit national fleet numbering codes like First and Stagecoach have done.
Or maybe they will follow in First's footsteps. When they introduced a nationwide renumbering they let their then London fleet retain lass codes.

If 485 limited to 10.2 SEe, would it be a problem for capacity like on 152? 3 Days in of full electric operation and only 10.2m SEes are in use making me thinking route can not take the longer SEes.

Wasn't the route awarded in 2018 with 10.2m buses(SOEs)? I thought the more recent allocation of 10.8/10.9m buses was more to replace the SOEs with (slightly) newer vehicles made spare elsewhere, rather than to increase capacity.

The 485 would probably cope with the minibuses that the 395 was using through the Rotherhithe Tunnel I don’t think I’ve ever seen one with more than 5 people on board in the past few years.

The 485 was allocated 10.8m SE’s so I can’t see why it couldn’t take the 10.9m SEe’s. The 485 capacity wise is rarely busy so the 10.2m SEe’s wouldn't be an issue.

4 double deckers on the 200. The amount of double deckers appearing on the 200 seems to be growing.
