iWork For RATP - Notice Went Up About 2 Weeks Ago Bar the 414 am I right that that would make X all Electric. Be interesting if the 295 and 23/C3 share an allocation now. Should still have the 452 and 28 at least alongside 414

Route 226 & 295 Will Be Operated From X 218 X - V 228 X - RP Do you know if Optares or BYDs are on order? I understand that BYDs were previously announced but wondered if this changed things. I’m Pretty Certain ADL Products Were Ordered Apparently More Electric Work Will Take Place At X Sometime This Year

The 295 will go to S so *should* be okay. The issues with BT, SO, WK and FW pertained to electrification issues, most vehicles were delivered promptly or only slightly late. Also the ex 94 BCE's may be able to cover as well. Route 226 & 295 Will Be Operated From X 218 X - V 228 X - RP Will give X more of a feel of belonging to the RATP family, whilst at the same time getting rid of a type that made them feel different.

Will be interesting if the 18 or even the 70 will ever move back there.

I can't see AV closing before the result of the E2 or E8 comes out. I doubt AV would close full stop. The forecourt of course wouldn't for obvious reasons, but I'd expect another operator (Abellio or Metroline) would be interested in the extra space. What I will say is AV's buildings are looking a bit on the shabby side and could do with some restoration work. Sadly I doubt RATP really care about appearances. The buildings turn 68 this year. Aren't a lot of the former LT garages owned by TFL or something?
Most were sold freehold at privatisation, a few were just leased ... not got a list to hand at moment

Couldn’t AV close without closing the forecourt?

Couldn’t AV close without closing the forecourt? is it AVs turn to be the "Tangytango speculated depot to close of the week?"

It’s incredibly nauseating and offensive to those who actually work at these garages as this is how rumours start - the fact that people continue this despite pleas not to says it all

The BT ADEs need some serious help, most of them are really dreadful to drive and the drivers seats are uncomfortable. Imagining as the 142 will be lost at the end of the year, the SP’s can move back for reliability until the 142 is lost? Pretty sure the 142 drivers are type trained Are you talking about the 10reg heaps that were on the 79? I think I speak for all drivers at BT when I say we would rather keep the ADEs.

They can’t move because they’re tied to the H98, I am talking about the ex 111’s SPs (currently on 71). I don’t understand the issue with the 79’s SPs - they were in fantastic condition when at WK?

Whilst I had a good ride on a 10 reg example on the 79, I trust Volvo when he says they were pants given he was driving them daily - I can still remember his rants to this day
