SLN 80425: TB → PD

[rustic silo]

For type training

[woven patio]

ooo

That suits 122 wth

[sterile falcon]

Frrrr

[sleek portal]

What is the RED E400EV moving to PD asw

[sterile falcon]

I hope not….

[pliant star]

Wouldn’t be surprised

[hasty plover]

me likey

[rustic silo]

why are drivers being type trained now is the question

[woven patio]

😭😭

[hasty plover]

what was 301 getting

liners?

[sleek portal]

Liners

[sterile falcon]

Liners

[sleek portal]

Yes

[hasty plover]

oh wow

[stoic fossil]

Yh liners

[hasty plover]

good question

[sterile falcon]

maybe drivers that might do SL3 at PD?

[fervent marsh]

whats this doing at PD

[sterile falcon]

prep?

[hasty plover]

ohh yeah shout

[sleek portal]

SL3 moving to PD maybe?

[rustic silo]

sl3s not moving for ages still apparently 😭

they need to install more chargers

[sterile falcon]

Probably just prep

[sleek portal]

Also I heard the red enviro are moving too with SL3 EVs

But let’s see innit

[sterile falcon]

For what tho?

Is it seriously going for 180?

apparently it’s on paper idk

[rustic silo]

dont know who told you that

[floral moat]

nah

[sleek portal]

lol imagine if TB loses those E400EV for liners

[rustic silo]

shame that 😂

[stoic fossil]

September apparently

[sterile falcon]

they planning to switch 301 and 61?

[rustic silo]

yh thats quite a while away still

[sleek portal]

Idk

[pliant star]

That’s the only option that makes sense

[sleek portal]

All Ik they are leased apparently

But I need someone to confirmed they aren’t

Cause I’m not 100% sure

[pliant star]

All SC buses r pretty sure

[sleek portal]

Some liners aren’t I’m pretty sure

[sterile falcon]

Ofc they aren’t cheapest buses to exist

[sleek portal]

Ik LI BZL are leased but idk about HKs

[pliant star]

Would make sense tho if they wanna keep all the ADLs under 1 roof

[sterile falcon]

True

Probably gonna make TB fully liner

61/261/208 later

[pliant star]

Well 8 of LIs BZLs are HK ordered BZLs

[sleek portal]

Tbh I won’t be surprised if those e400ev (red) leave early

[rustic silo]

holy falloff

[pliant star]

Yh would make sense

[sleek portal]

Then again TB has E100ev

[pliant star]

They won’t because they r here for 287s contract now 61

[sleek portal]

Shouldn’t be a problem

[sterile falcon]

Yh ADL EVs

[woven patio]

Bruh then by the time it moves ik for a fact drivers will end up forgetting how to startup the bus😭😭

[pliant star]

Would’ve made more sense if SC ordered fully ADL for TB

[sterile falcon]

tb going to fall off 😭

[rustic silo]

cab isnt too different from mmcs

[limber steeple]

Bro what 😭

[woven patio]

Oh fairs

[limber steeple]

What’s the point of all this

[pliant star]

SL3 is moving to PD that’s been confirmed anyways

[limber steeple]

Surely it makes more sense for it to be SL3 training

[rustic silo]

yh but sl3s not moving for months still 😭

[pliant star]

probs not all drivers will move over hence the type training

[sleek portal]

@pliant star

Stagecoach has a deal with wright btw

Liverpool stagecoach orders some liners

If you think stagecoach isn’t getting kites

Then you are in serious denial

[pliant star]

Well we will see at the end of the year

Because

225/181/284/488

Are due to go electric by then

[paper fossil]

i pray SLN gets kites

cuz what other SD ev would they get

[sterile falcon]

Imagine Kites on 380 😂

[paper fossil]

apart from like E200EVs

[sterile falcon]

Don’t they order ADL?

Yh

[paper fossil]

and if they're willing to get more BZLs which i doubt

[pliant star]

BZLs?

That’s what they have ordered for majority of their single decks

[smoky bough]

🤨

[paper fossil]

under the assumption they wont order anymore bzls*

[pliant star]

when they started ordering liners they had plenty of opportunities to order kites but they didn’t

[paper fossil]

apart from bzls kites and E200EVs, there's no way they're ordering B10/B12s

[pliant star]

Yeah don’t think they r fans of BYD

[paper fossil]

nope

the e400evs said enough

[pliant star]

Surely Yutong might drop something

[paper fossil]

i hope

also custom denning

[wraith talon]

They’re not

[paper fossil]

their buses are nice

[wraith talon]

They’re staying at TB

[paper fossil]

but idk if they'd ever be tfl spec

[pliant star]

Icl they will suit 208

[limber steeple]

Just don’t get this speculation that they’ll go to PD 😭

[sterile falcon]

if they do stay which hopefully they do they’ll defo stray on 208

[pliant star]

TB diesel routes are just 246, 638, and the other school route?

Dann

damn

[limber steeple]

The TB engineers and drivers are already familiar with them whats the point of them moving

[pliant star]

Tbh they also have e100s so

makes sense

[rocky horizon]

There aren’t any plans for that

the only things out are the E400MMC’s

[limber steeple]

Get those YX16s out

Terrible buses

Bone shakers

[sleek portal]

Diesels?

Or hybrids?

[glacial basin]

yikes

[glacial basin]

whats the point

there arent enough unbranded e400evs for 301

[sterile falcon]

yx16 are the hybrids

[glacial basin]

its js gonna be liners

they arent gonna do some fleet swap

[limber steeple]

Mums

Even if they sent them there 301 would still need a couple liners

[glacial basin]

^

61 all over again

they arent gonna go to all that effort ibsr

[limber steeple]

Which would eliminate the reason why they would be sent there to begin with 😂

[sleek portal]

Ngl

[glacial basin]

how many buses have been ordered for 301

12?

[sleek portal]

I see the E400EV lasting half of the contract idk why but I see it

Since it’s the non-standard

Actually nvm

[rocky horizon]

nah they’re fine

[random oyster]

Stagecoach should unironically get these for 122

[woven patio]

Welp lets see what happens on 122s next tender

[random oyster]

It would be majorly disappointing if it was just streetdecks again

I like them but even I know when much is too much

[woven patio]

Wdym

[random oyster]

Stagecoach is just buying electroliners like they are fredos

They really need to get different buses for once

[gritty ridge]

Blinded for the best route in the garage

[woven patio]

Ohh

[plush herald]

Suits perfectly holy

[bright escarp]

yes

[limber steeple]

Oh @rustic silo @small zinc

[rustic silo]

say wallahi

[limber steeple]

strange whats the 61 getting then

[pliant star]

liners?

If it’s swapping

[limber steeple]

180 doesn’t have any liners

Where are these buses spawning from 😭

[small zinc]

Say word😭😭😭😭

[bright escarp]

ya

tb r getting the gen2 liners lol

[small zinc]

bruhh

ykw thats not bad

[bright escarp]

basically the same ones that are at PD rn

with the avas in the front bumper

and the electric handbrake

hopefully bzls are getting modified to stop them rolling back so often on inclines too

[small zinc]

those e400evs gonna cook on 180

r they making the route fully electric now then

[bright escarp]

idk that much

probably

[small zinc]

fe

unless they’re replacing the current ones on the route

[woven patio]

lol so 180s acc getting AD24s now

Fairss

[sleek portal]

I told you

[limber steeple]

Well this would be a first

Never seen this kind of scenario before

[sleek portal]

Happened before

With 62

[limber steeple]

How

[sleek portal]

Not 62

345

345 was retained with E400 Hybrids 14/64 plates

[limber steeple]

So basically they’ve just decided to order extra buses for the 61

[sleek portal]

Then they changed it to MMC when 156 is getting ev

[sleek portal]

Maybe

Im confused

287 to 61 to 180

Like what’s the plan stagecoach 🤣

[limber steeple]

Probably just all want them at the same depot for some reason

[sleek portal]

See but they didn’t need to order the red EVs for 287

Icl

Could of gotten liners with the rest

[pliant star]

287 was the first route at RM to go new electric (174 with old BYDs)

which can’t be bought anymore

so makes sense 287s order

But then again

169 got liners
