The bus was fine actually. RATP have done a very good job looking after the 10-reg E200s during their arduous London career. Much better than the 60-reg DLEs and the 11-reg Sovereign ones. DE20100 and 103 are a bit nasty, glad I didn’t do it on those, but the rest are fine. It was the length of it with the low speed limits. The 142 and 285 which I’ve also done e2e and are the same length as the 110, didn’t feel anything like as long. And this was even with good traffic, except for a bit of a queue at Richmond Manor Circus Roadworks I believe you when you say they’re looked after but I can’t stand any Allison box Enviro 200’s before Euro VI, all incredibly dull & boring even when healthy When put to high speeds they're amazing, especially 2010 and older E200s

Pre-Euro IV its a major mix, some are slow and sound boring, but there are just as many fast ones with very lively engines. SEN43 is absolutely exceptional

Who runs 31? It would appear that RATP have won this from Westbourne Park garage

Update: 31 is for 7 years with new EVs. i guess the OMEs will be used on something else, maybe the 452. No spoilers but another forum member will be very happy(!) with another of the results coming out

No spoilers but another forum member will be very happy(!) with another of the results coming out Not enough for the 452 unless just for a part allocation. Around 6 OMEs will need to displace BCEs to FW for PVR increases, and 2 OMEs already allowed 2 BCEs to go to SO for the Superloop. This only leaves about 13 spare electrics.

Particularly as chargers for the 90 may take up some more space. Perhaps the Athlon Road outstation can fit another route, otherwise maybe the 483 to G or 297 to AC if needed?

I think we are all assuming the PVR increases at Fulwell will be covered by electrics. I’m not sure that is necessarily the case unless the 125 is lost.

125 has been retained.
And before anyone cries conspiracy theory lol, I’ve seen the official notice from the company announced today.

The 65/281/371 were all retained with full allocations of existing electrics - the only exception being some hybrid crosslinks from school/night services.

I’m not too clued up on that side of London, but I do believe PV require the N31 at night in order to fit in all their day buses? So yeah I think another night route would have to move in or 297 or 483 moves out, yes

125 has been retained with 1 extra PVR and the 31 with the same PVR on a 7yr electric.
Also Arriva retained the 335
