GAL moves in the last week sees E116, E117, E118, E119 & 120 move to River Road from Peckham with 122 also being prepped for service after an engine replacement. Also 119 has new blinds so i would think all of them have the newest blind sets
Certain 147 & 368 passengers on here will be happy that the MHV/WHV are finally getting refurbished 😂😂. I wouldnt be surprised if the new Tridentviro sets are moved onto the hybrids as well, replacing all the old sets on them. (Would allow all WHVs & MHVs to spread freely across all routes)

It's hard to think this was Stagecoach's former flagship route the way GAL have treated it. |

Especially when you had the 5 at the same garage and they operated routes like the 55. |

MHVs & WHVs on occansion stray onto the 101 as well. |

I certainly wouldn't say the 101 was a flagship Stagecoach route. Especially when you had the 5 at the same garage and they operated routes like the 55. I always remember being told the 101 had a very strong group of drivers who were part of a union and that's the reason the route ended up at BK when U closed. I was given the impression they never wanted any trouble at the new WH garage.
Not sure how true this is but has always stuck in my head.

I heard that as well and that the 101 was very much a 'grandad route', ie only long serving drivers got onto that rota. |

The WHVs and MHVs have a real mixed bag of old and new sets. |

The WHVs and MHVs have a real mixed bag of old and new sets. MHVs arent as bad, only MHV8 & 10 have old sets w/ the rest having new sets. Its more of a mish mash with the WHVs definitely, with a range of new sets, 2018 sets and in the case of WHV114 a 2016 set. Now that I think of it i doubt all of them would get new sets but I think at least a few could potentially. |

I heard that as well and that the 101 was very much a 'grandad route', ie only long serving drivers got onto that rota. I think a lot of the 101 drivers at Stagecoach went across to GAL when Stagecoach lost the route. However, a I've seen a quite a few of them back working for Stagecoach in recent times |

Spotted one of the transferred buses out this evening with the blinds unlit. |

I heard that as well and that the 101 was very much a 'grandad route', ie only long serving drivers got onto that rota. When I was at U almost 30 years ago the 101 was very much the 'grandad' route. It also had a VIP who lived on the route and used it daily - let's just say that any service perturbations were soon made known to the OM and GGM. |

Spoiler Alert, if it hasn't already been noted. The children's humorous animation "Despicable Me 4" has nothing to do with YJ21 EYD, or route 200 at all. What a swizz.
