What is RAPT’s plan for the rest of this year, this is what I understand so far The H98 is Detting a double deck allocation using SP’s, which allows DLE1-9 to go to SO/FW to allow DE’s to transfer to So to let DE1-17 to be withdrawn to ULEZ, The ADE’s are set to comeback once the rest of 285 MMC’s arrive which then allows more SP’s for route H98 At the end if August SP1-8 will be withdrawn so they will need replacing (by what?) K1’s buses have now been registered so delivery should be end of this month early September, which then let’s those buses to do back to EB With in the last Weeknd of August from what I understand is that the 139’s VH’s are set to become free and are going to be used on other routes temporary until routes 28/N28 are awarded to LS I’ve been hearing that the 2011 ADE’s that are with TV rare supposed to be leaving possible be replaced by ex 139 65 G2 Then in December 306 is awarded to metroline which frees up more VH’s to allow SP replacements. As well as the 110 being extended to Hammersmith via 391 using ex 391 DLE’s What will the school routes use those ex 306, (ex 139 until route 28 is taken over.) On the DLE front I reckon FW will get about 7 (30001-7) and SO will get (have got) 30010/12/13. The rest possibly stay at AV until the H37/H22/110 changes which releases 30011/19 at a guess. For the 7 at FW that should see off the 07/58 reg DEs. but what will the school routes use as the SP’a have gone to H98 come next month.

I'm not sure if this is confirmed or not but I heard the 139 VHs are going to release SPs which will then work the school routes (extra buses)

For the 7 at FW that should see off the 07/58 reg DEs. Will the ones at FW have a priority route? I expect all buses on route 326 are now either DMEs or 11-reg DEs.

Well so far they have just been allocated to any route but you would have thought the 33 is the most likely as they are replacing the early DEs allocated to that.

Route 33 is also a good choice, as no longer crossing Hammersmith Bridge means it can use larger buses than DEs. Route 419 may be similarly feasible too, barring any tight turns or narrow roads anywhere.

I actually thought Wrightbus made better quality buses. Falling apart already and they have been on service 2 minutes! (Not literally) but driving ADL vehicles since my time at BT I can't say I am surprised.

The sooner the 28th comes the better and honestly if we do win the 328 that is something I will never ever learn, I don't ever want to drive through West Hampstead area ever again.
Also I don't understand the selfishness of some drivers. The Golders Green/Finchley Road northbound bus stop was relocated further back around a month ago now due to social distancing outside the Barclays Bank and Post office and it's now located where the road is very tight due to parking. Yet still you often find 13, 245 and 328 drivers sit there blocking the bus stop and causing congestion as traffic struggle to get past because either they are too early for changeover point (13 at the next stop) or to early to enter the station. When there is a perfectly adequate bus stop two stops prior at Llanvanor Road where the road is wide enough for vehicles to pass any vehicle waiting at the bus stop.

Sorry to break subject, but are the tender results being released on the 28th?
