Saw one of the 60 reg AV DLE’s driving down the A4 with all decals removed, displaying Private Charter and the RATP logo blinds. Some were used on 720 a few weeks back so I think those might be withdrawn now

So are the ex 28 OMEs in storage or withdrawn? Please don’t take this wrong but it’s really easy to see the OMEs have all pretty much stayed in use since the 28 was lost. They are used on the 23, 295 and 452.

When’s 27 coming up for tender. I could see RATP snatch it back as 27 based at QB is quite risky

Some were used on 720 a few weeks back so I think those might be withdrawn now There’s one of them operating on the H22 (not tracking on LVF) which is devoid of decals. Not sure which one though.

NC Twickenham is looking busy with some of the ADEs (including 40434/6) released from the H98 now having decals removed ready for pastured new.
A number of the ex TV SDEs still remain as do the last 2 SPs (40051/206) and a few 60 reg ADHs released from the E3 in recent weeks.
In the workshop are VH45129 ((TV for repair work) and VH45167 (AV for refurb) as well as an unidentified VH from TV from the 85 batch undergoing refurb work.
An MMC DLE was also tucked away in there.
No sign of any LTs with the majority of the 6XX batch now having moved into AV for the H98.

It also had a blank rear blind . The one I saw had a H22 rear blind so perhaps there are two still running but potentially with their ibus now decommissioned. Also saw VH45143 fresh from refurb being delivered back to FW.
