It will be done from New Cross. MG is not being done from what I heard. 188 will be done at Q I believe. That's interesting. So the 1 and 188 will now run out of Q. Will anything have to move out. The 355 will create space thou. That does leave space at MG for a short term hybrid contract atleast if space is needed at a BX for the 99/269/401. 486 maybe using the ex 188 hybrids still 2030 could be a bid. Also the SL6 which is going now from Q too

If the 108 is moving to NX I would imagine MG isn't going to be electrified, isn't it on a fairly short lease?

Guess I'll have to be carrying eye wash around to rinse me eyes as I bet my luck will mean these show up near me
Will be really a shame if these displace EHs...
They really are hideous. The demonstrator with the black accents actually against all odds began to grow on me, but these are just absolutely disgusting The fact that there’s two of them looks ominously like it’s gonna be a batch of buses, but anyone’s guess as to which route. It’s like spin the bottle and whoever it lands on has to kiss the frog 😂 Why could they not have had the same styling at the BYD D9RC's in Singapore?

Wasn't sure what one was so looked it up and have to agree with you - the DR9C looks a lot better

It would be hard for Go Ahead to loose it now especially as they have made inroads into DTs routes in the Bexleyheath area. Orpington and NX may be able to take on some more work I guess if it goes and they don't find a replacement site.

They may be persuaded to cash in on the site.

They may be persuaded to cash in on the site. It's not theirs to cash in on. The article clearly states it is leased, which expires in 2027. And if the council decides to take planning action, they might have to vocate sooner.

I could imagine a scenario where a huge chunk of Go-Ahead current spare hybrids could be used on bids to retain routes 51, 178, 291 and 486. I would agree that would be most likely. Probably to maximise the life of these hybrids as much as possible to stagnate the electrification process.

It is bodied by Gemilang (Malaysian bodywork firm which does a fair bit in Malaysia, SG and HK).

I’ve read online that Go-Ahead have ordered over 100 BYD BD11s, precisely how many were ordered and what routes are they going to? PS: this is my first message on this forum There has been no information revealed beyond the fact over 100 have been ordered. Exciting! Wonder what routes these will go on.

So, will the 108 completely move to NX with a full BYD E200 EV operation?
