More regular E400 MMC workings on the 179 (especially during the off-peak) and the 247 ever since most of the Tridents are gone
No looool keep those MMCs on the 62, last thing we need on the 62 are the 179s worn out buses I would like to see an MV on the 25, although wouldn't be surprised to see that start to happen more often due to the impending ULEZ. Would you say the 179’s buses are worn out? I wouldnt, went on one on the 257 not so long ago and it seemed fine also the 179 isnt a particularly intense route that would knacker a bus route after a few years Would love to see an HV on the 157, theyre blinded but it hasnt happened. Im surprised at their self restraint seeing as their allocations are generally quite relaxed Another observation id love to see is a tri-axle bus on the 12

An empty seat on the 192 is one of my fantasies route is too overused, not enough buses New MMC's or even SLS's on the 318 instead of the knackered junk on it at the moment Tottenham to increase the new Arriva logo'd buses from just 2 HV's at the moment And Edmonton to roll out the new logo's on the DW's and VLW's too

Im surprised at their self restraint seeing as their allocations are generally quite relaxed I wouldn't say that 179 batch of E400's are worn out either as it looks fine to me and in a pretty good condition for a 5 year old buses. Yes both the 179 and 275 (As that batch tends to be used on the 275 from new until last month) aren't that intense in terms of people using it & making bus knackered as well.
The 157 is driven by Thornton Heath drivers as they are only type trained to drive the route on the T's and hence why a HV never have appeared on the 157.

But we’ll see I hope so as youre right those E200s are in a shocking state.

When the 145s buses started getting refurbished I didn't even realise how worn out those buses were.

It would be nice seeing them replaced, but I can't see it happening unless they buy back the 14 reg ones released to RATP following the E10 loss I think because the cupboard is bare TfL said 5 more years for the 57 platers, and a supposed Euro6 conversion. No conversion has been done, let alone giving them a lick of paint. Just shocking

Would love to see an HV on the 157, theyre blinded but it hasnt happened. Im surprised at their self restraint seeing as their allocations are generally quite relaxed This is because although vehicles are based at N, 157 uses TH drivers who are not type trained on the Volvos. Now, what a thread 🤩 *rubs hands* I'd love to see Es do the 246, TEs or TAs on 232, E400s work on 490 and 290, deckers do RV1 again, VWs on 235, DD 251s, ADEs on 465, and so on Also MVs on all TT decker routes, duh. Generally more TT strays. And more crazy unexpected workings, the red arrow 360 and decker 359 level haha

True, although it's not impossible for a HV trained Norwood driver to do emergency cover of the 157 on behalf of TH.

Couldn’t it be possible to have the trees cut down.

Hopefully the DLEs will make appearances on the 398.
