On his instagram he says temporarily on the 226 and in preparation for the 326. We'll see what happens though. Maybe these might replace the 11reg DEs on the 326?

Which BT route would these be suitable on? Temporarily on 226? I have been told these will temporarily go onto the 226. I think these are two small for the 226 anyway. The H11 will get a DLE allocation and the 326 will remain part DE and part DME.

Isn’t the 326 (edit mixing up with 324) that DE 50-56 (the 59 reg batch) were bought for, but which had to be substituted when they were found to be too long, although the route was later altered to take longer buses

Wasn't more easier to temporary use the 142 ADEs on the 303/288 and DLEs/DEs on the 226?

The problem with allocating diesel buses, is they have roller blind displays, and the gained route isn’t on the blinds, so either got to order new blinds or partial blinds (inserts) Easy to add routes to electronic blinds, as destinations will be prepared anyway for new route, and just copying the relevant data into more buses.

Yes but the DDEs still have to be reblinded.

For those wondering about the sudden influx of VHs on the 65, the reason apparently is due to issues/unavailability of chargers at FW. Do chargers freeze up?

Apparently only 20 out of around 70 chargers can be used otherwise it will cause a power outage at Fulwell Station which causes issues for network rail. Absolute chaos.

Hopefully the issues should clean up soon, worst case scenario RATP can source spare VH’s/SPs to make sure there won’t be any more power issues.

Sounds like a UK Power Networks issue, if so, unlikely to be resolved quickly.

It does make you wonder what the implications will be when TF goes electric as that will only increase the strain... No wonder the new Lidl there also had to build its own transformer.

Imagine UKPN are trying to find a customer desperate enough to pay to install new infrastructure.

Takes longer basically. And can reduce range. Not sure why Network Rail need power today they’re on strike.
