from what was being said elsewhere the 24 night service will be NB4L operated in OPO mode, so will be hybrid. Its still unconfirmed if the N11 will use the NB4L's as I don't think the route out towards Ealing Broadway has been tested for them.

Indeed, the N15 uses Barking Enviro400s too. And the opposite way around, I think the N87 to Kingston was scheduled to go hybrid from yesterday (but I haven't checked to see if it did), but the day 87s hybrids went to 88 instead They will be on the 87 once type training is complete, indeed there is at least one on the 87 today |

What bus routes which have a full hybrid service? I mean like all the buses on one route are hybrid. But i checked on the official list of routes running hybrids on the TFL website. The routes listed are 3, 12, 15, 16, 19, 23, 24, 27, 38, 52, 73, 74, 76, 94, 139, 141, 188, 189, 211, 328, 333, 360, 371, 380, 436 and E8. When i check the routes on London VF, some are fully hybrid whilst some have quarter of the fleet are hybrid vice versa. I know the 15 have Heritage routemasters running, But there are routes which have full hybrid service. The 3, 15, 27, 73, 76, 139, 360 are the only routes out of those which currently have a full hybrid allocation. I think the 29 and 189 will follow soon. What about the 23? Isn't it all Hybrid now? |

so why not use ade on them I thought the 211 should have some hybrid buses on that route but never see them The N9 does not use ADEs either, maybe they rather throw out the Scanias because they are crap. PD still put Scanias on the 53 night service. The 211s Hybrids are the 12 plates which are always on the 3. 211 should have an allocation of 6 Hybrids, but to spare Hybrids seem to end up on any QB route. my bad i thought t whe hybrids was the 61reg ones that fleet codes start with a 2 |

I can agree with that possibly they would rather the scanias get messy at night than the ADEs

Metrobus is correct in suggesting that the hybrids allocated to the 211 are indeed the 12-reg 2-series buses - the 61-reg 2-series hybrids at the same garage are allocated to the 3. |

There is next to no difference between the 61 & 12 reg Enviro 400H's - currently, there are 3 61 reg on the 211. |
