Is it possible that a few of the 13 reg VHs could move back to BT in the future, or go to another garage entirely such as FW or HH? Unlikely. Only BT and TV have experience of them, and I suspect that the 414 will use the spares after the extension. It's more likely the ADH's will move to support allocations on the E routes.

Wish I'd known about VHs 45122/3 when they were at TV as I'd love to have experienced seeing them in Kingston (or one of them anyway) and to have rode one on the 406 or 418.

They stayed pretty much glued to routes 639 and 670 iirc

A few vehicles at NC Twickenham today mostly under repair or in prep for re-entry to service.
TDE20074 now converted to a trainer in a quite striking ‘Arriva’ blue livery.
LT124 which looked close to refurb completion. Another unidentified LT was their for refurb preparation.
SP40067, DLE30219 and MCL30306 all of which appeared to be receiving some frontal repair attention
DE20155 parked up outside the workshop.

An 11reg DE was in the Watford area today, presumably for route learning? Not sure why though, as it was a BT vehicle, and the 142 will be leaving in a few months.

The 228 is going to RP on Saturday so these buses might make some appearances.

Still no appearances of BCEs on the 125. They're certainly cutting it a bit fine for conversion, hopefully the chargers are working and the delay is due to type training... Remember, they don’t need a full allocation on the 125 to release enough buses for the 295 given they’ve roughly give or take 13 VH’s already

I would hope it is not down to type training, they have had months to prepare for this and if type training is the issue, the person responsible needs to be shot, but I think it is unlikely.
