Do you know if it has been confirmed if the 244,486,624,625 and 658 will be transferring to Morden Wharf on the 18th January next year when Go-ahead London take over the contract of Route 99,269 and 401. Not as yet and I certainly hope it doesn't happen. MG would struggle even with the 188 moving back to Q. There are only limited facilities. |

The 108 is also moving to NX, so the PVR at MG would actually go down even with those routes moving in. |

Have we had any confirmation of which garage the 355 will move to once the route goes electric? Presumably it'll be SW

Thought someone posted a TikTok of EBD2 here, but I guess I was wrong.
Saw the video, and they actually look quite nice sideways, but it's only the back of the bus that ruined it for me. The vents are massive and ugly in my opinion, they could've designed them better and potentially made them black or something.
Additionally I don't see a lot of London buses that have the brake lights, indicators and reversing lights that are set together, rather than one being above the other if that makes sense.
As in, it would've looked better if they did columns over rows and made the lights a bit bigger maybe, but perhaps the idea was to mirror the front lights at the front of the bus.
Overall, not the worst and given that Go Ahead has quite a few on order and they've started arriving, I think we will get used to them soon.
The BZL, Electroliner and E400 EV are far superior in my opinion!

It's horrible to see the front of a bus for 321 passes in Eltham/Sidcup area. |

Does anyone know when NX will be refurbishing their EHs (MMCs) and possibly MHV55/86 & WHV50?

I like it, slap an advert frame in it and it’ll look even better. Its certainly grown on me, I think the uniqueness of it appealing, it’s really nice to see something different. Especially from GAL which has just been constant copy and paste and copy and paste and copy and paste over the last 4 years |
