13 reg VHs From the 139 will cover majority of the next school year This might be wrong, but I am hearing the 2013 VHs are staying put, and other buses will move around, probably some of the SPs from 183 will move to cover school routes. Not really for an Operator thread but seems to be uncertainty about school routes, especially if schools have staggered start/finish times, or social distancing is still in force, or free travel becomes statutory only. I could see many short notice changes throughout September. It looks like the guidance for the safe reopening of schools is being set out today, this should help schools to start planning for reopening and to discuss transport requirements with TfL over the next few days and weeks.

There's just been a Government announcement of an extra £40million to provide extra capacity on schools transport. It looks like the push is on to have all students back in school at the beginning of September. How this £40million might impact on TfL services (if at all) is not known.

65 and 391 are on diversion until further notice, Kew Bridge road is completely blocked and now Kew bridge itself is blocked. The 65 will ride non stop between Great West Road and Richmond Station. The 391 will run non stop from likely Chiswick Lane.
The closure at Kew bridge was unplanned, I saw the vans going to block it.

I reported last week that these vehicles were in the Finishing Hall at ADL in Scarborough, and there was a response that the first ones will be delivered and may enter service this week. So it is very likely they will all have '20' registrations.

They won't be 69-reg as that was 01/09/2019 - 28/02/2020. I was making the point that they should all be registered before 1st September so none will receive '70' registrations. I think the OMEs on the 134 were all allocated '19' registrations, but some were not registered by 1st September 2019 so their '19' registrations were voided and new '69' registrations issued.

SP40074 is currently at BT and on the 258s. I don't know how long it is here for but it has BT codes though I am not sure if it kept the BT codes since it left BT.

Oh no it has kept them codes since it left BT, theres no way* BT recoded this when the 326 DMEs still have V on them, the 79s VHs still have HH on them (As well as LU logos) and ADH45051 with its EB codes and Quality Line logos I don't think a single SO SP has go SO codes, most of SP40068-40086 have FW codes for whatever reason (Most never even spent time at FW) and a few I think have BT codes still (SP74 was 1 of them, not sure what others did). SP40026 also still has FW codes and SP40205 still has BT codes. * - They definitely didn't for sure because I saw it on the 183 around a week ago with BT codes
