Another thing is I wounded if the 332 will be fully converted to a LT I am seeing more now So where will the MMC’s go if the 332 gets the LT’s?

Why do you need to play busical chairs to move the VWHs to the 204. Yes the MMCs could go to the 204. I was allowing for fewer garages having TEHs. Mind you, if the MMCs move to the 204 this would in itself represent busical chairs too. Seeing as you have a better answer to imalondoner's question than I did, you can always give your alternative answer directly.

Don't really like to speculate too much but could this be linked to the current LTs at HT being some of the oldest? could they be withdrawn or refurbished for use elsewhere? I believe a few older Abellio examples have been cannibalised for spare parts.

I believe a few older Abellio examples have been cannibalised for spare parts. It might be LT22 that is being cannibalised given it's been VOR for over 12 months and I think that lines up perfectly with what you are saying. I don't know why the 91 would be deconverted when the 17 has been mentioned on here to either gain or partially gain an allocation of LTs, to me that makes no sense.

The 91 is unlikely to convert from LTs as that was a posted speculation. Regarding LTs that have so far been cannibalised, it can be down to temporary shortage of parts at the depot where an unroadworthty bus is then stripped down to help keep more healthy status LTs on the road. Once parts are replenish from the suppliers the canabalised bus could re-equipped back to roadworthy condition. It's a concept that's been done for years with many bus types.
