Regarding the 226, considering RP is much better located for changeovers etc, perhaps middle-duty drivers could sign on at RP instead, with the buses simply parked up at BT for charging?
I also wonder if we might now see some electric strays on the 288/303, as has been the case at SO with the 395?

How would you get early shift drivers handing over to middles and lates relieving middles from BT to RP? Gonna need a lot of Dacia Sanderos for that, in contrast with a 15 minute tube ride from BT to Golders Green. Suspect in the off-peak period they may even be able to squeeze two rounds in some duties |

The Overground could be used but you still need to get the 266 to Willesden Junction. |

All of VH45145-50 and VH45247-50 are now back at Hounslow Heath. Wonder why the 4 YT10 SPs are still in service as I thought they were going when the VHs came back? I would have thought they would only be one staying to cover for VH45152.

I've been told by a friend that there is a 58 reg Enviro 200 in 'Arriva Blue' (perhaps just bright blue) sitting in FW. Anyone know what this could be?
