Is it confirmed then that all the Kingston area routes did not get a contract extension? Seems strange that atleast 1 route didn't get one. Id be surprised if the 213 didn't.

What ADH's are still waiting for a refurbishment for the E3 The E3 is my local route and I use it quite a bit, if you look on the repaints/refurbs threads you'll see I've been reporting ones I've noticed but I do warn others that my reports of refurbs on the E3 may not be comprehensive.

It's not public yet, I'm pretty sure TFL have decided which of the Kingston Routes and any of the other routes have received 2 year extensions

Could TfL be wanting newer buses on these routes asap ? None of the routes are particularly badly run at all.

Would I be right to assume that the majority of the VHs from the 94 are destined for the 65 along with the ones currently covering for the E3. That is not the plan as far as I am aware - there will not be any more VHs on the 65 long term than there are meant to be today... The 65 currently has 8 VHs in use (an 9th earlier today), having gained some VHs this week At least 4 have moved to FW, so presumably there are now 4 or 5 SPs that have become spare Some SPs haven't been used this week (but situation won't really be clear until schools return next week)

Another unexpected FW change, 2 DEs have gone on 411 within last hour, having replaced some DLEs which have returned to the garage.
Not sure what this is related to, unless the DLEs are required elsewhere

I currently have DME30378. I would say better braking than the DLEs and ride quality so much better than having a DE but the rest is same as a DLE regarding acceleration and jerky gearbox.

Not sure what this is related to, unless the DLEs are required elsewhere Looks like DLE30049/51 have been pulled to potentially go finally to Epsom to oust the remaining OVs.
