Looking at the London Central Wikipedia page now seems quite confusing as on the Bexleyheath section it says that the 51 will be transferring to Morden wharf along with the 244,624,625 and 658 but on the Morden Wharf section it says it is the 486 that will be moving so i wait to see any more confirmation. Wiki is not always the most reliable source of information as anyone can edit the pages, I'd await confirmation on here or through in person observations which are generally more reliable. |

Do not believe everything you read on Wikipedia. |

That would seem to corroborate with rumoured E400s for the 320, to share engineering similarities with these new E100s. Although a bit disappointing the 233 isn’t getting something longer. Interesting to see what happens with the R2 now |

Interesting to see what the R2 and R11 will get now |

Interesting to see what the R2 and R11 will get now Plus outstanding SD orders still for the 355, 360, 444, B16. Maybe the R2 and R11 will match those. |

I wonder if GAL have been allowed to hold out for the E200EV? Perhaps they’ll be the London launch customer. A nice sold order of between 70-80 if the 299/389/399 were included with spares would be a great launch for ADL. |

Hope so the alternative is the single decker variant of that ghastly BD11 on which I hope is a stop gap between the City & ADLs new E400 EVs but time will tell. |

Interesting to see what happens with the R2 now This also gives me higher hopes that Go-Ahead will order the new ADL Enviro400EV for routes 22/N22 and 88. |

The single deck BYD (B11) is looks very different to the BYD BD11 decker, and is actually a very nice looking vehicle it has to be said  |

I'm not sure about that, the only option for the order of 32 buses were these or Switch EVs, given the previous experience with the latter manufacturer which is still ongoing. That pretty much singled out the E100EV to be the only option. I'm surprised Wright never jumped onto this gap in the market. |

Much improved flow of movement through the bus which would help when buses get packed but potential fare evasion would probably bring any hope of it coming into existence to a close |

If Go-Ahead won again for my local bus 162 then I will be happy to have that E100.

I would imagine it’s probably not worth it for Wright, it’s probably not easy to develop as BYD/ADL didn’t bother either. It’s really only in London dinky little single deckers are needed, and let’s be honest as a proportion of routes out there, quite a small market |
