E118 & E119 now transferred to RR. Nice to see more tridents over here, whos to guess why more are coming over though. Refurb floats perhaps? E119 is not great - it was the only one I rode whilst at PM and struggled with the most basic of inclines. |

Its a shame since it was actually faster last year |

Do you know what buses have transferred to Northumberland Park for Routes 299/389 and 399 and is there any news on what buses the 131/280/320 and 321 will have as the others are coming up and to the 321 is over due its new buses.

I don’t think any of them take inclines well at all and they’re quite sluggish which is a shame, E119 was so fast as recently as late 2022. That being said I think E119 is one of the nicest sounding ones with a good driver |

If you look in the Bus Fleets and Vehicles thread there is a Bus Transfers section which shows which buses have transferred to NP and where they came from. |

In the same thread there is a New Buses On Order section. Page 1 lists all that is known. Nothing confirmed for the routes you ask about. |

I think the 108 is next followed by the 321 of note the 321 has a new timetable with widened headways due to road works in Lewisham, several duties now have live change overs at Molesworth Street in Lewisham to facilitate drivers hours and service provision. |

With regards to the 131/280 i have a feeling it will be the BYD/Enviro400 EV. Hopefully I'm wrong we get the integral ADL Enviro400 EVs. |

Looks like the 299 is using running numbers 621-626 with changeovers at Southgate Station, with the 389/399 using running numbers 626-627

It’s been mentioned, by info from a TfL FOI I think it was, that alternative vehicles will go to the 151 due to the length restrictions. Nothing confirmed as to what will happen, but there’s a possibility I think that the 280 will have a batch of alternative vehicles made against it, to go to the 151. |

WS50 was also operating on the 299 late last night, presume this won’t be the norm as it’s single door. |

If that happens then I think the 151/280 should swap garages so that Ee172-186 are finally at A.If GM cannot be wired up then (at a stretch) the 151 can move to C until AL can release some space. |
