Is the 110 not going to be converted over to DD? Where did that one come from - DLEs through and through...

Saw DLE332/3/4/8 today on the 110, all still with V garage codes.
Is the service completely operated by AV now, or still with partial allocation from V?
I assume there will be buses that started off at V and will return to AV this evening.
Interestingly, also saw at least two buses (one DLE MMC and one DLE) on driver training along Chiswick High Road (standard buses with "Diver Under Instruction" blinds, not the dedicated training buses)..perhaps route learning for more AV drivers for the 110?

The 110 is fully run by AV - the codes haven’t been changed over yet

I think I remember busdryver mentioning that they would move to the 183. Lots of fleet moves tonight, and from what I understand, some Scanias going back on to the 183. Hounslow expecting a few VHs as well to finish the 423 allocations and a few DEs being withdrawn as well for training conversion. Expect a lot more during the spring as the fleet is prepared for the incoming routes in May, September and October... With some of the SPs moving back to the 183, are AV expected any buses to replace them?

With some of the SPs moving back to the 183, are AV expected any buses to replace them? Two SPs move from Route 203... one theoretically from the 423... the two MCLs are released from the H37 as there was a PVR reduction... so, a few move up and a few also go from Fulwell... I also understand that there is a bit of a swap as well with Fulwell for some reason.:.

Comments made by the MD of RATP Dev London would indicate their plan is to convert three of their ten garages to electric. So FW and SO would appear to be the chosen ones to join S. Obviously timescale all depends on tenders.

Obviously timescale all depends on tenders. I'd of thought that was obvious weeks ago.😄😄😄 The 72 will move to Stamford brook or RP.

Couldn’t RP or V or both be one of those garages that be converted or couldn’t the 72 be converted? Why does the 72 have to move?

Obviously timescale all depends on tenders. I guess the 148 moves into V as I still can't see it losing it's LT's. The 72 could probably be moved to V or RP as already mentioned by bertrell and the 49 slots into S leaving it fully electric whilst all the LT routes are under one roof.

The 3 garages are taking on many more electric routes, but I don’t believe all 3 are becoming exclusively electric Speculation what is happening next year S will gain 49, so likely to lose 148 to V (but got to retain tender first), 72 will convert if retained FW : 65, 281, 371 convert to electric, will gain electric 290, but currently 33, 71, 216, 411, 419, K3, 671, 681 stay as diesel or hybrid, not sure if gaining 290 causes route to move out SO : 183, 398, H9, H10 convert to electric, will gain electric X140, but currently 395, H11, H14, H17, H18, H19 stay as diesel or hybrid

I think it’s the first mention of this plan publicly so to speak, and obviously wouldn’t have been possible had the bids for the routes at FW and SO not been accepted. It will be interesting to see what transpires in the tenders in next few months. Do they wait until their current routes at FW and SO come up for tender and bid with electrics, or do they try for routes not currently with them that come up first. FW for example, the R68 and R70 could be tendered before the 33 and 419. But all depends on contract extensions and garage space.
