I know it’s getting annoying but once the 321 gets the EBDs, where will the 321’s current allocations go (61/12 platesEs, 61 plate EHs & MHV55/86) once NX receive them, including WHV50? MHV55/86 will replace WVN23 at NP. Somehow, still on the 476. In the short term probably some will go to BX for routes won |

Do you know what buses are allocated to the 104 and 368. What is EH195 allocated to.

I wonder how high up this went to prevent BYD integrals from getting a foothold in the market? Perhaps up to Haigh? Goes hand in hand with the UK Bus Manufacturing Expert Panel they also announced yesterday. I don't think this is to do with the BYD orders - I suspect simply to politically capitalise on it being such a big commitment to UK manufacturing, especially as this private investment has been backed up by public sector investment (TfL orders, ZEBRA2 money) I do wonder if there is quid pro quo out there though now with regards to the need to support domestic manufacturing. We don't quite have an equivalent to the 'Buy American Act' so I wonder if this is as close as we'd get. No doubt it would have been a very different story if public sector investment went into 1.2k Yutongs! |

MHV55/86 will replace WVN23 at NP. Somehow, still on the 476. But would it make sense if MHV86 went to BX straight away for the 89/601 or will it go to SW temporarily along with the other 89’s MHVs on the 333 until the EBDs arrive and then MHV55 goes to NP for the 476 or MHV86 swaps with MHV19? And I’m not sure if it’ll be enough for the 99/269/401 cos they’re gonna need more cos that’s like 17 buses of the 321 so they’re gonna need more so most like some 2009-2011 diesel WVLs/Es/WVNs or maybe hybrids but we’ll see |

Makes you wonder how much, if anything, the government is underpinning this order. First it’s Taylor Swift getting a supposedly government forced police escort, next it’s major subsidies for a private company ordering new vehicles. Anything is possible really with these latest charlatans… So someone who had an active terror threat against them and was performing to thousands of people shouldnt be getting an escort? No: Theres much better things to spend money on also her songs are awful and mind numbing. |

Her benefit to the economy was far more than the security would have cost, would you have gathered no security to save the few thousand as opposed to the many millions the economy received? |

For me that isn’t the point. The fact is The Met concluded it wasn’t necessary so what changed? It’s fairly obvious Cooper and Khan intervened which is shady as f**k. She isn’t a head of state, a visiting royal or even a dignitary. This bullshit line about her donating “millions” to food banks as justification is ridiculous. There are private security firms in the UK that could have escorted her just as easily. It’s the optics and if Rihanna can take the tube so can she. I am outraged that as a taxpayer our government can drone on about black holes in finances but pay out a few million for this. |

Can we get back to what this thread is supposed to be about?

Get out of here with your woke garbage, she doesn’t benefit the economy at all, there’s much more pressing issues that money could be spent on as opposed to some egotistic pop star. |

This has got to arguably be one of the funniest comments on here. Whether you like it or not she put into the economy more than she took out. www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/czd88lxe8p2o |

Get out of here with your woke garbage, she doesn’t benefit the economy at all, there’s much more pressing issues that money could be spent on as opposed to some egotistic pop star. There are multiple articles citing Swift bringing in a billion pound uplift to the UK economy. Her concerts in Sweden helped pull their economy out of recession. There is every chance The Mayor offered the police escort as a kind gesture following the terrorist threat, which is far better than Swift tweeting to her 98 million followers she probably wouldn't have felt safe had she not gotten it. London has taken a bashing on the global stage for increased crime in recent years. Bar Shake It Off which is linked to a memory of a dead friend of mine, I'll happily state to anyone listening I strongly have a distaste for her music and the cult-like fanbase she has. That does not mean however I cannot objectively acknowledge her achieved accolades. Especially after the Manchester Arena bombings, do you expect this solo female artist with the most shows played at Wembley Stadium to just take the 232 and walk there from Brent Park? |

Do you understand the phrase “operational independence”? The Met should be seen to make operational decisions based on requests from the Mayor or other politicians especially when they declined after finding no evidence of a threat to her in the UK. It’s even worse when you consider both the Home Secretary, hiding behind her husband, and the Mayor were hospitality guests of her label Universal. If you cannot see how bad this looks you deserve every lie, every tax increase and every u-turn that will continue to happen until the next general election. |

That all depends on where she got the 232 from.. |
