All ex first Euro 4 DEs have been withdrawn
No more Euro 4 DEs at Crikklewood Due to 143 electrification conversion and 324 using DELs
In the mean time, 268 is still waiting for its order to come through.
Potters Bar are still waiting for 263,382,491 and W8 to come through
Holloway have a few BDEs in storage for the 266 to use in due date

So 266 is using BDEs now

#

So who is using 266 WDE

wind widget
#

looks like the allocations of 98 and 266 have swapped

manic crescent
#

266 was expected to use BD11s when retained but idk what happened

#

The “delayed” electrics seems to be taking its time

#

But I’m not sure if it’s using BD11s or liners

manic crescent
# wind widget Probably 98

And it’s a shame 98 will be using BD11s in the future - the liners suit far more better than the BD11s imo

north surge
#

I swr 266 has length restrictions

#

So 98/266 swapped allocations

#

W7/W8/90 will still use BDE?

#

As we speak

vapid bone
#

what else would they be for tho

next saffron
#

Idk so 266 bc the demand for that route being electric is high

#

Due to metroline losing its tender game If they don’t put the actual allocated buses in time

#

That’s for every company in general anyway

fresh shadow
#

210

rustic yarrow
#

so is the 266 is using E400 BDEs or BD11s

austere cypress
#

I mean with 266 I can understand if W wants a simple fleet for DD EVs cuz of 210 n stuff

manic crescent
#

And now it’s July (tmrw)

manic crescent
#

LK61s

#

TEH1228-1241

#

Aswell as the VWs

#

That’s on the route

north surge
#

210s contract started in August 2024

#

266s contract started in December 2024

manic crescent
#

I believe they are waiting on W to install the chargers

#

Bcz the BD11s are ready

north surge
#

so I don’t blame em at all

manic crescent
#

Transport uk never has delayed electrics I swear

#

First day 306

First day 337

#

First day C3

north surge

#

270 is another one

manic crescent
#

But QB is mainly on point

north surge
#

Because it’s already electrified

#

Once electrified

#

It’s easier to add more

manic crescent
#

Where is G1 being run from

north surge
#

W got electrified from scratch

north surge
manic crescent
#

Single decks seems to be tough for transport uk

#

But double decks - no strays 😭

fresh shadow
#

A driver said G1 to go electric from July

north surge

#

But can never trust drivers

north surge

#

But other than G1, all of the other routes such as 337, 306, C3 and 133 has been electric on day one

#

Without a single strays (except 133)

I used the route a lot in 2023

#

When it was with Metroline
