No DEs are being withdrawn at the moment - rotating the electric fleet between garages to keep them warm, and also give some spare stock to provide float for 218/228 moves at the end of the month, Appreciate the update. The one outstanding BE to enter service 37081 has just surfaced at S.

There are also couple of VHs from TV or FW there More realistically (assuming all the chargers are good), will probably use school half term week to move some double decks around, swapping out some of the VHs that still need to go for refurb Don’t yet know when the 295s batch of BCEs will arrive, but from the New Year going to see cull of RATP double decks (which will cascade out the SPs) Lose 142 and 642 on 6th January Lose 635 on 13th January Lose H32 and H91 on 3rd March With spares about 70 double decks (about 25 more than SPs that remain)

Got a message from a friend at bt they are testing the charger's tomorrow if goes well the 125 should go electric the following weekend Bus News - week 22/10/22 (LondonsTransport Google group) is suggesting that route 125 may have electrics working from Monday 24th - although this is not confirmed. It would certainly explain the move to get more BCEs active in recent days.

BCE47131 started as well at SO today. Also ADH45289 and 90 are out on the 140 which might mean some BCEs are moving to BT today/tomorrow. Only 3 BCEs from 125s batch are out today at SO.

VHRs have also been out on routes 142 and H12 today suggesting they might have been covering for vehicles being transferred between depots. The plot thickens!

BCE47148 and 152-156 are still currently at FW which are yet to show a movement transfer There are still 7 BCEs to enter service I think someone mentioned a lack of garage space (which is why there is the outstations) mean it is almost one bus in, another has to move out before next one can be moved. Maybe not one at a time but certainly not a handful at a time. FW can’t really release those extra 6 until a few VHs move the other way vaguely remember 45130, 132-35, 37-38 and a few more (forgotten for now) need to move from 125

Unless I am mistaken, it seems the 13 reg VHs are finally having their turn in battery replacements/ hybrid fixes across the whole batch. Noticed VH45102 and VH45113 sound an LOT better + go into electric once again. There might have been more done. 15-25 days off road is an good indicator on LVF (but not 100% confirmed; VH45122 is one to be suspicious of for instance). Long overdue.
That saying while my VH45113 ride today was decent enough, I had better G2 B5LH rides out there I feel. Not sure if ISA interfering, or an gear issue?
