#

is MG closing or not

#

hearing like 5 different things

#

infact company notice never got posted

wheat cairn
#

it’s clearly not closing yet but i think the better question is that thamesmead garage actually happening

empty ibex
#

until the HQ got changed to LI

sick mirage
#

but as far as ik it won't be used as an actual garage

#

from what I've seen, it's just gonna be used for storage

lyric plinth
#

Fairs then

empty ibex
#

yup

tough lance
#

BX engineer says it’s being ran from Thamesmead

languid knot
#

looks like they're putting that thing into use much earlier than i thought

azure mulch
#

wait so what was even the source for this @gleaming oyster

lost briar
#

but its storage for now

#

bit of a waste acquiring land for the sole purpose of storing buses

azure mulch
#

the depot will be in use once fastrack fully converts to EV

lost briar
#

MG will close but fuck knows when thats happening

azure mulch
#

i thought we got documentation that the lease was extended til the 2040s?

#

i remember that being a post here

lost briar
#

that was an application

#

not confirmation

azure mulch
#

ah fucks sake

#

well yeah Fastrack will be fully EV in the next few months, so by the end of this year, NW should be functional

#

got every gal garage

azure mulch
#

storage is tight for most operators

sick mirage
#

costs more money

#

to be moving buses from multiple garages

#

to the same destination

azure mulch
#

i mean we have arriva BD11s in Northfleet, Dartford and Maidstone 💀

sick mirage
#

that's arriva though

azure mulch
#

yeah but still my point is mass change to electric infrastructure is proving to be difficult as a lot of it takes up sm spare room

#

causing extra land and storage space to be made up out of nowhere

#

hence why we've seen GAL buy 2 plots of land within like 6 months of each other 💀

sick mirage
#

true 😭 😭

lost briar
#

if only khan wasnt in such a rush

azure mulch
#

i think it's also due to other areas in the UK gaining the ability to use electric buses at a larger scale

#

if khan kept on how it used to be, london would be seen as 'falling behind' and he'd get shit for it

lost briar
#

meanwhile most operators outside of london are still using 15+ year old diesels

#

diesels are a minority in london now

#

mostly hybrids and electrics

#

falling behind my ahh

azure mulch
#

well, i said IF he kept it how it used to be, it would be seen as falling behind

lost briar
#

ik

#

im js saying init

azure mulch
#

2021 was when it was pledged to be full EV orders, diesels were not the minority then 🤣

lost briar
#

yh im talking about now

gleaming oyster
azure mulch
#

it's you against jamal

gleaming oyster
#

Eh

#

wait lemme get the ss

azure mulch
#

battle against the sources 🔥

#

if it's anyone higher than an engineer, i'll believe you

gleaming oyster
#

ok nvm he might be right

#

Is N472 meant as the 24 hour 472 or a new N472 route

sick mirage
#

24 hour 472

#

it's the same route

#

just done at night as the currently 472 would be run

#

all stops

#

30 min intervals
