Would love to see these make an appearance on the 67, given its used these buses for many years in its prior tenure with First/Go Ahead Did the 67 use this batch or another lot? I know most on the 476 had been there since new. It used a mixture of the 259 and 476 batch mainly on Sundays when WVNs were more common. |

Ha Ha thank you WHV 76.. AL must have been short on a vechile for the 200 last eve and that picture with the paper number probably means the Ee's are destined for the 57/157 only.

On that topic I wonder if the full Ee allocation on the 57 is now a permanent fixture, or if it’ll ever get its part hybrid allocation back Bit bored so will list what I think the current paper allocations are at AL/GM: | Route | PVR | Allocation | | 57 | 19 | Ee179-186, 205-217 | | 131 | 21 | WHV104, WVL481-483, WVN26-36, 38-45 | | 157 | 17 | Ee243-262 | | 200 | 17 | 2 Mes, WVL423-435, WHV165-166 | | 280 | 14 | WHV19-23, 25-31, 42-44, 81 | | Loan | 3 | WHV16-18 at AF for Refurb cover | | Long VOR | 17 | 15 Mes, WHV24, WVN37 | | Spare | 4 | Ee99, 100, WHV107-108 (Could say these 2 are backup for the 2 Mes) |

Why did they have to cut it back to Dalston. I liked how I could get that bus from Aldgate to Wood Green without having to go into main Tottenham. |

I like vehicles. Buses, trains, cars, all of them. I made a song out of Stagecoach too.

Cannot believe the Diesel on the 91 has NOT been subbed yet 😳 Once it's crossed into the Congestion Zone it's aready liable for the fine. At that point whether it's taken off immediately or used throughout the rest of the day it's still the same cost in fine Someone's getting fined today. It went Trafalgar Square. I wonder why there was a diesel (WVN17) on the 91 |

Its a pretty silly curtailment which didn't make sense in the first place, it was TFLs way of keeping the 242 relevant |

Since the only meaningful section of the 242 was between Shoreditch and Homerton, they decided to send the route to Aldgate instead of keeping the 67 there |

Cannot believe the Diesel on the 91 has NOT been subbed yet 😳 I was just coming on to say this. Certainly a surprise when WVN17 pulled up! (On that note, I wish the MHVs lost their Rowan Telmac seats on refurb, but wishful thinking…)🤷🏾♂️ |

Someone's getting fined today. It went Trafalgar Square. I wonder why there was a diesel (WVN17) on the 91 In the grand scheme of things with the millions of pounds allocated to these bus contracts, the £100 fine is chump change and won’t be felt or thought twice about really A minor point here but I don't think they would get the standard £100 fine. The bus is EuroVI so is ULEZ-compliant. However it does not comply with TfL's edict that pure diesel buses should not be used within the original ULEZ. That is a contractual matter between TfL and the operators, so the "fine" is actually whatever penalty is stipulated in the contract. It could be that this penalty applies for each journey made with the non-compliant bus, in which case the operator has an incentive to get it subbed ASAP. |
