Do the 138/R4/R5/R10 or R7 ever use WS or SE respectively? I haven’t noticed anything except their signature types, unlike other routes such as the 352 and R3 which use both SE and WS.

R7 has used some WSs before. As for the 138/R5/R10, no WS are shown to have been on those routes. The R4 shows a single WS working however it seems to have been subbed off quickly |

What is the plan for the E400 City EVs that were originally ordered for the 151?
Were they redeployed on another route officially?

I’m guessing that they will be sent to the 280, with Electroliners ordered against the 280 and then diverted to the 151. Or it can be simple and they are announced to be for the 151 straight away 😁 |

I think they were redeployed to the 213, and the 213's batch was sent to Q and AL (with the exception of Ee177/178 which were swapped out of for Ee99/100). This allowed 57 to become full Ee allocation and 35 to gain a part allocation, although I don't know how permanent this is. |

It shares the 15 reg WS's with the 352 |

Still a few WVN's on the 262 each day since Halloween which suggests there is an issue with a few electrics. Looking on LVF a few have been off the road each day since the 29th October.

Been reported that a few B7RLE G2s from Metrobus will form a part of the temporary fast-track fleet which is set to commence in a week. These will be joined by 7 ex-Sullivan Buses AEs (AE20-26) and other buses (I believe someone said on here that there were driver training MECs to be used in the fleet)
I would imagine the fleet ending up to contain B7RLE G2s, Citaros, E200s, E200(MMC), and potentially Streetlites on hire from Arriva

These will also form a part of the fleet and have already been stripped of blinds and wayfarer |

Don't know if it's been reported or not, but when GAL take over Fasttrack it includes a frequency increase on route based on info shared with me

Really excited and looking forward to GoAhead running the fast track! Wonder when the EVs will takeover? Expected to be over the month or two prior to and including April 2025 but note that's a date that has been pushed back from 10 November 2024 |
