Best thing to do with the 256 E200's is to scrap them, They're that fu**ed! Same as the 499's ones and some the 66's batch  Couldn't agree more, GY have royally f***ed them up!! The VLA's are still good though lol. Btw, mredd, the longer 10.8m E200's are actually for the 66, the 256 and 499 have the shorter versions. Have a feeling they could be used to gain more work, but wouldn't be too shocked if it was just the last few Cadets that moved one. Could always keep the E200's to supplement other vehicles there, such as extra Christmas workings on the 370 for example?? Thanks, don't know why I thought they were 10.8m - I think londonbusroutes.net might list them as that... The shorter length means they'd be even more appropriate for the B15 - currently uses 9.2m so it would only be one step up the size scale. The B15 has a PVR of 6 so there'd be enough to see off the last 51-reg Cadets even after putting a full allocation on the B15. Then there'd only be the 06-reg ones left which aren't too old anyway. |

Enviro 200's are awful anyway ;D As for the former N VLA's, GY must of sorted them out as they were crap at N. They're not bad mate. It seems like they've had their gearboxes worked on as they seem to be much more stretched than their DX counterparts. Not got any issues with their pullaway or anything as they're coping very well on the fast stretch between Corbets Tey and Ockendon  |

Had a tinker with the radio at work before I came off for holibobs and something has surprised me with the 256D working,
When First were running the 370D I'm sure the OBNSS showed "370 to Romford Market" however having logged a bus radio on at work I note that this shows "256D to Hornchurch, St. George's Hospital" with the resulting audio being "<silence> to Hornchurch, St. George's Hospital". Surely the "256" audio could have been associated with that route number entry?
