What if the VHs from the H91 were sent to V for the E3 and the E3’s ADHs were sent to AV to replace the unreliable ADHs on the E1? There’s definitely some kind of work being undertaken at V. Presumably the 60 reg ADHs are receiving some attention with a number of VHs having been transferred in during the past week or potentially they are temporary cover until the H91s VHs become available. I can’t see the E1s allocation being replaced bearing in mind their refurb being less than 2 years ago but I suppose you never know. Not sure there are many routes available on the tender front now for those VHs without a home so perhaps there’s a new plan for their use. |

Not sure if you've been keeping up, but the ADHs at AV are (at the moment) fairly reliable, much more than the ones at V. The sheer number of VHs at V should be able to tell you that. I'd assume AV received the parts needed as all have been in service faily constantly for the last few days. I doubt it would happen especially as I'd assume some of the H91 lot would be needed for the 203's renewal, unless other vehicles are to be sourced from elsewhere. I thought that it was the E1 batch that were unreliable. |

I thought that it was the E1 batch that were unreliable. Both are, but the E3 batch has been particularly bad in the last few weeks. As @jamdougnut pointed out, the E1 batch seems to have stabilised recently. |

Might be other VHs, there is a batch still being using on 295, pending more BCEs arriving Still quite a few VHs still to receive a refurb so might be more temporary swaps |

Are the BCEs actually all limited at FW?
Currently on BCE33 on the 65 which has been speeding across the A316 at well over 30mph. Only seems to be a few BCEs which are limited.

That section of the A316 you refer to (the Twickenham Bridge diversion) does have a 40mph limit, so ISA could still be adhering to that |

Trainer perhaps, DE74 is now that colour for its training livery. To follow up, it is likely DE92 (which I’d assume is now TDE90092) It is DE92/TDE90092…. Ive got a couple of pictures of it somewhere on my phone. |

Some deactivate in certain areas. 4 of them are fully unrestricted. Which buses are those? From my observation only BCE49 genuinely seems like a slow bus, it should be strictly allocated to the 371 since it rarely gets used on the 281/65/71 as they have faster sections. |

They actually would have been working the 240 had they not turned it down … Yes the Heathrow to Edgware corridor becomes all RATP . Probably the only good (?) headline that can be mustered for this company in 2023. |
