Bus News - 24 February 2013

First Centrewest:
- The Gemini 2's at Hayes (HS) are returning to service, however there are still 1 or 2 DN's running the route from Greenford (G) garage.

London United: 
- Most of 27's new ADH's have arrived in service, although ADH42-51 have not entered service.

ADH32 on 27.


- Twickenham (NC) garage is set to close meaning 33 is to transfer to Fulwell (FW) garage whilst 419 transfers to Stamford Brook (V). Keep your eyes peeled for these buses being on other routes across these two garages.

- During this event, 33 will have a new timetable to co-operate with the changes that are to come in effect on 2nd March 2013.

Metroline:
- Most of 52's VW/VWH's have entered service as the blog has already covered a post on these buses yesterday.

One of 52's new buses (VWH1417).

- The VPL's on 52 will move to use on 260 whilst a few VP's from 260's allocation transfer to Harrow Weald (HD) for a PVR rise on routes 140 and 182.

- VPL222 from Holloway (HT) garage has joined VPL207 after the cold snap recently affected buses at HD. This follows after VP346 was involved in a car accident whilst on the H12 last month.

- The TEH's for route 189 are to start arriving soon as they are to enter service next month allowing the 10/60reg TE's to move to EW for use on 113. There is some speculation that the buses are to go on other route's allocation at W as these buses may have come in a batch of 43 vehicles (?) releasing some vehicles to suburban garages within the comapany.

- The TE's for route 82 have started to arrive, with some being at CELF centre awaiting commissioning.

- Route 46 has been extended to St Bartholomew's Hospital from Moorgate after the bus terminus in Moorgate was closed permanently. Slight alterations to the timetable.
