There are apparently enough to convert 414 If this were to happen, perhaps the 414's current ADHs could replace the E3's older and less reliable 60reg? 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? [ The OMEs are not going on either the 414 or the 452 - however, they do have new blinds fitted and will be roaming somewhere very soon. All X DDs are having common blinds fitted to allow use across all routes, rather than the limited availability there is now:..

I have noticed this actually because the 13 reg's appeared on the 13 and 452 a few weeks ago

I know that route is very popular here

(I know they will have the same allocations most likely but what rare ones will happen) You can do some digging around, McKenna have started a TikTok page and one of X's new sets was being printed. The current X routes are all on them with the addition of the 295. Now considering that the 28 should have already been on the sets, as the 328 was if they were going on the 28 they'd have unlikely needed a new set. That leaves just the 295 that would need the OMEs to have a new set in order to run on the route. Although could also be the 28 as I'm not 100% sure if that was already on the OME sets. I can't see the OMEs leaving X, X has specialist facilities from Siemens to enable charging of the Optares. RATP so far have used proprietary BYD chargers at all their garages so far, much like Go Ahead have so I'd hazard a guess and say this is what BT is also having installed so would probably rule the 13 out as unless CCS2/Optare chargers are being installed at BT, not to mention I don't even know if the OMEs can be charged using CCS2.

Unfortunately (for themselves if you ask me), Switch do not support CCS2 charging and use only the Siemens plug, which truly explains why nobody has ordered them voluntarily (bar TT who love to be cheap).

I said the 13 in jest as it is always mentioned here! I have watched the TicTok of McKenna that Eastlondoner62 mentioned it’s likely going to be the 295 once taken over either probably covering for later delivery of buses.

A lot more than 4 isn’t there? The 23 had a very hefty PVR cut of around 8, so I would have thought 8/9 Wasn’t the PVR cut from 19 to 16? No definitely 24, 24 OMEs + spares were ordered for the 23 originally and none have yet been reallocated.

DLE30265 has received London United logos which is perhaps unexpected as WK have if anything been going down the RATP Group only route.
It’s also due to return to London Sovereign when the big switch on occurs so perhaps that’s even further delayed than expected.
