The takeover of the 226 has been delayed from 15th October 2022 until 7th January 2023, the same day as the 142/642 goes the other way to Metroline. Not been the best of years for RATP has it. Outside looking in you can see why tfl May have lost confidence in them. The counter argument is that awarding them so much new work in 2020 was misguided.

The wider view is this is mutually beneficial to RATP and Metroline. Metroline loses the 226 and the same time it gains the 142. Metroline and Abellio need to find drivers for the H32 and H91 next year. Let’s see how they cope.

MCL6 which was involved in a collision at AV is hiding just inside the garage if you look close enough. The bus itself is still on its own wheels, I wasn’t able to see the extent of the front damage as it was turned away. DLE30332 seems to have gained black clusters after some sort of front end damage. Confused by the "on its own wheels" comments...why wouldn't it have been?!

What are the buses going to be for the 295 because I doubt that the electrics will come on time

I’d imagine the 23 will likely retain a similar PVR to what it has now as would the 414 if extended so 32 used with 5 spares would be right.

The 452 could then keep a mixed allocation of hybrids, and the 94's PVR cut could indirectly displace some hybrids to the 340. Or could the 340 even be amended to part BCE?
