Maybe AD could make use of some on the 102/329? Not local but I feel like the 29 would have more of a chance than the 329, however 102 may work Turns out it will be the 248 when it moves to Arriva in September

I've heard rumours about the 101 getting LT's with the WVL's moving to Brighton & Hove to replace bendy buses??

I could be wrong but suspect everything is linked to the Elizabeth line changes.
I am predicting all the east London route changes will take place Saturday 21st May when the 135 moves to Tower Transit this means :
101 cut back to Beckton using LTs 262 cut back to Gallions Reach 241 to Royal Wharf 330 to Silvertown 304 starts using EHVs or possible the D7 takes them and the WVLs move to the 304 (This is a diesel contract) - Or the E400s spare from the 104 move to SI.
104 cut back to Beckton
325 - think this might stay at Prince Regent for now!

Those are very good ideas and would allow free LTs to be utilised but would it not make more sense to send the EHVs on a route like 89 and its Es freed up for the 304 this would allow 104 and 304 to be using the same type of vehicles.

The 104 releases buses for the 304 as its PVR is cut. The reason I suggested the WVLs was no buses would need to move and would allow some earlier E400 to leave RR.

Matching PVR, has diesels, up for retender soon, no scope for extension

In regards to the WVL’s going to Brighton to replace the ex MAL’s, there is conflicting reports with one saying it’s the 101’s WVL’s and another saying it’s the 132’s WVL’s that are going

That said B&H do still have some Omnidekkas left, which they might to replace with newer buses at some point.

All WVL's currently spare, allocated to the 132, 432 and 101 could all oust remaining Citaros and Omnidekkas at B&H. Some would remain, leading to the VE's withdrawal.

Matching PVR, has diesels, up for retender soon, no scope for extension I’m not trying to be awkward but why are all the suggestions about moving the EHVs about moving them away from SI and RR who maintains buses when there are suitable routes for them? The D7 and 147 are on extension and up for tender soon. There is also talk of the 101 possible using them! Much like my post about cuts it’s just change for changes sake when logically it makes sense to leave the buses were they are if there’s work for them.

Personally I feel it is best to allocate it to just one route with a full allocation, or as part of a hybrid allocation. 147 could be a good shout with some other hybrids coming in, or more WVL's/LT's running on the 5.
