9 will get 16s LTs?

it would make sense as it's getting withdrawn october

[spice wind]

How did they lose 9

[sacred hill]

16??? You mean 168 probably

[old plume]

I mean it’s up to Metroline

[static axle]

9??

[old plume]

They could either use 9/N9’s existing allocation or use their own off from 168

[old plume]

Yes

[static axle]

Metroline

[old plume]

RATP lost 9/N9

[static axle]

Weird

[old plume]

Indeed

[static axle]

But

Still using the same buses

[old plume]

Bruh there’s two options

[sacred hill]

Or Metroline takes RATPs LTs which abelio did for the 24

[old plume]

Lol anything

What’s funny is that Abellio dashed ex-68 LTs to RATP which includes LT666

[peak trellis]

9 going to metroline is the weirdest shit i've seen on the tender

[oak rock]

no 16

16 is getting withdrawn october

and then the lts will have nowhere to go

except maybe 32 to replace them tehs ig

[past terrace]

Why can't the 9 use it's current ones?

[oak rock]

it probably will

[oak rock]

and like 211

[vernal shoal]

or the LTs its literally usijng

[sacred hill]

No ? I swear it was the 332

[old plume]

Bruh it hasn’t been confirmed what LTs Metroline will use for 9/N9

That’s why there’s loads of options lol

[neat schooner]

It’s pretty obvious it’ll keep its current LTs

[pulsar slate]

It's easier just to take it off the old operator and transfer the buses with it.

[oak rock]

oh i forgot abt that

16 is getting withdrawn and 332 is getting the lts

mb

[vernal hinge]

wait thats actually gonna happen?

[oak rock]

16 yh

[old plume]

Don’t forget 332 will get renumbered as 16

[oak rock]

yh but that doesnt really matter
