The original application got a conditional approval (can proceed, but only if conditions imposed by planning authority (Harrow) are accepted). The new application is trying to reduce these conditions conditions : 3A) vehicle incursion protection (a barrier to stop buses crashing through boundary onto rail Embankment ) don’t want to build it 4) Construction plan (now irrelevant as work already done) 5) Parking plan. There appears to be a condition that the buses must only be parked according to the plan at night and depot manager is to ensure it, and during the day staff and visitors only park as per plan, with no buses. So in blunt terms if a bus is parked there overnight, has to be removed daytime (so if it fails to start would have to be towed out). RATP clearly have had second thoughts about this (even though that is what they requested on the original planning application). 6) The bike shed appears to be an extra, not on original plan, it is for 20 bikes at front of former car showrooms. The Council imposed a condition that site cannot be occupied until cycle parking was agreed 8) Complaints about buses parking on road at night awaiting entry came up as comments during original application and planners decided that it is not good idea (there are residential properties along the road) so decided to impose conditions regarding minimising effect of buses on the road (no longer permitted to be held or queue on the road) The conditions are listed in detail on pages 130-132 of attached www2.harrow.gov.uk/documents/g64668/Public%20reports%20pack%20Wednesday%2011-Mar-2020%2018.30%20Planning%20Committee.pdf?T=10

I don't know what has happened to many of our ADEs but they have become really slow and feel heavy to drive amongst other issues. Even the ones that used to go like rockets are becoming slow. Really starting to not enjoy driving them at all. I miss the euro 6 B5LH (yes I know we have them but there is only 4) and very rare to get one and two of them have ISA that I know of so they are not the same to drive and they tend to jolt and judder alot whilst trying to cope with the system) One of the reasons is that they are been filled up with the new biodiesel which clogs filters up etc. And lack of money being spent on them . I don't know about the lack of money being spent as up until recently many of the ADEs were excellent.

WS20274 (the Streetlite demonstrator RATP had) appears to have left the fleet already, it is no longer taxed nor has an MOT. It's marked as VOR on LVF, so was it written off?

Only 1 post added since last weekend. This must be an all-time low for the RATP thread!
I think it could take until July 25th for the 72/326/395 vehicle reshuffle to be complete. I think the outcome will be 09-reg on route 72, 59-reg on route 395 and 11-reg / DME on route 326.

So which route will be the 59 reg be assigned to?

Good to see that the oldest SPs at HH and AV are still being used.
