I suspect if routes do have to move out of Bexleyheath to occomdate the 99,269 and 401 it will be the 244 and maybe the 486 if more the one has to move does that also depend if the Fasttrack starts from Dartford instead of Bexleyheath temporary.

Honestly I think it'll be 51 and 486 and 624/625/658 to MG, DD routes are easier to find hybrids for upon retender if MG can't be electrified, and also gets rid of diesel DDs at BX.

Would 89 to NX work? They have a greater pool of hybrids available.

From memory the two routes are crosslinked, or at least will be once the 333 electrifies.

From memory the two routes are crosslinked, or at least will be once the 333 electrifies. According to schedules there are no crosslinks. Overall the 89 would not move to NX with the traffic that comes across daily the majority of buses will probably get turned to Northend Road. If anything moves I suspect the 51 244 & 486 will be on the cards…

So was EH285 a write off? Depends if the chassis was bent or not and if so, how significantly. Ignore the bustimes edit, that user always just edits stuff without proof.

The maximum capacity is 245. Is there really any need to move routes out? Have to say there is a lot of driver training going on at the moment.
