Any ideas why ADE40309 has gone into BT? To cover vehicles away for maintenance before it goes for refurbishment itself… does that mean we'll be seeing it on 142 duties? |

There is a plan, hence them getting refurbished… I can't wait to know what it is when it's revealed I do hope they'll end up looking like 40303 and 6, they've had really good looking refurbs. RATP do often get the nicest refurbs, a little bit of black paint makes a big difference  . Their refurbed E200s do look much better than Metroline's for example. |

I'd quite like it if those VHRs went to X for the 28 and 452.

I am guessing some of the remaining SPs at FW and AV (those between 40165-40190) will be taken out of service in 3 weeks when school term ends. There are 6 weeks where about 15 fewer double decks are required.
Presumably by start of new school term in September new BCE 47126-47137 will be in service
I don’t think whole batch will leave until all the VHs due refurbs are done

Probably dependent on lease costs/ breaks. Pretty sure that ADEs will head to the H98 eart next year unless a route is obtained with the redundant VHs from the H91 etc. I would have thought these are part of a bid for the 57 and/or 213. |

Will the ex TT VHs currently at BT be sent for scrap once all the electrics for the 125 have arrived?
