As is well known (and mentioned in a recent LOTS TLB) the garage is to be compulsory purchased for National Grid works.
A notice has been put up in the garage advising of its closure during 2014 and the re-allocation of routes - which will move with their drivers and rotas.
AR (Tottenham): 341/N341, W6
E (Enfield): 192, 379 (This move is scheduled for 05-10-2013)
WN (Wood Green): W3
EC (Edmonton): 397, 444, 657, W11
With the exception of the routes moving to E, the other moves will be in early 2014 (unless plans change!)
The notice does not mention routes 34 or 318 as these are not worked by LV drivers - only the vehicles are based at LV with the drivers coming from AD and AR respectively.

I'm guessing 34 would go to EC and 318 to AR or SF. But looking forward to AR getting their first Enviro400s. |

And to look forward to the viewing of different bus types on routes! Wait with anticipation! W3 goes back home! Might even see some DWs on there being thrashed up and down the hills like a Hugh Hefner party! |

Your 2nd gen DW's up North are better than ours - was quite impressed with the one I had on the 41 last month. |

I wonder if a swap will occur with the 341s Ts going to E for the 121 and the 121's DWs going to AR for the 341. Would keep things standardised.

Why can't W6 transfer to AD or WN or is there no spaces there?

I have to say the W6 going to AR is a bit bizarre! I'd have put the 318 in AR. I'm sure there is good reason for it, even if there is a lot of dead running!

I'm quite surprised the W6 was not put in the re-opened Edmonton, given it runs very close. I suppose other questions could be what will happen to the 34,s DLAs! Will they go back to EC? I'm looking forward to the different bus type use! Particularly as the Ts will go Wood Green! |

Remember that the 318 is run already by Tottenham but with just the vehicles elsewhere like the 34- run by AD but vehicles from LV. It could be that the routes are run by the new garages but the vehicles could be parked elsewhere - (I don't know if this will happen but will be interesting to see!) |

The T's could go to AD to standardise (and the DLPs come home to AR  ), the DLA's from the 34 could quite easily go on the 243 / 123, and the 341 could use some of the existing DWs  I'm surprised the W6 didn't go to E as I thought they would be closer and have more space... AR have just taken on the 230 and will get the 318 back, and they already park quite a few buses outside near the college at night  I remember reading about this compulsory purchase.... they want to remove the pylons and put everything underground and smarten the place up  |

Great news!!! I'm so happy W3 is going back home to WN and 341 moving to AR which introduce a the T type there.
Although, it is strange that W6 is going to AR I would thought EC would be the better choice for this route. And I'm guessing an AR route will have to move for 341 and W6 to move in.
