London Sovereign - Edgware Bus Garage

London Sovereign (RATP Group) - Edgware Bus Garage
First of all, congratulations to London Sovereign for winning the 288, 303, H12 and H18/19. Senior management haven't decided where these routes will go and the bus types, let me know in the comments which single deck type you prefer? This has delayed back the entry of the new ADHs, which could go to other garages. The H14 is also set to become Double Deck.
The 142 move into here next month, with the 183 moving out. The 258 will remain at BT for the remainder of the contract, but these changes could now change due to the recent tender results.

My most favourite single decker bus is a Plaxton Pointer with a Alison gearbox. ☺

*Did you spot a 285 in this video?* London Sovereign have won the 288, 303, H12 and H18/19. Senior management haven't decided where these routes will go and the bus types, let me know in the comments which single deck type you prefer?

[@lt_20181]

Great video, BusesInLondon Firstly, Yes I did see the 285 :D Secondly, I'd love to see Citaro K's on the single deck routes, but E200MMCs would look good too

[@h11apprentice]

What SP was that, 40029/40036/40037?

[@samrogers7896]

BusesInLondon I saw the 285!

[@BusesInLondon]

8RTHK4J 81, why does everyone like those Mercs, personally I cant comment as I havent taken a ride on one?

[@BusesInLondon]

SP85

[@samrogers7896]

Great tour! Hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

[@BusesInLondon]

Thanks, you too Sam :)

[@josephafc8370]

London Sovereign were originally based in borhamwood. They had a depot by the elstree railway station. Originally BTS

[@BusesInLondon]

Yes thats correct, there was a disused arriva storage in borehamwood!

[@20sTransportSounds]

*prays that wright srm and vantage power president will be eventually allocated on the 142*

[@BusesInLondon]

anonymousbusfan don't think so

[@DanielsUKT]

awesome

[@BusesInLondon]

THanks

[@jtransportbuses]

Nice! Who actually owns the garage Metroline or London Sovereign?

[@BusesInLondon]

tfl

[@rafidavis4326]

Got to be MMCs. How's that going to work with the ADHs- the 258 will be 4 buses short without them. I'm hearing lots of different things flying around right now about allocations so we'll have to wait and see.

[@h11apprentice]

I agree the 142 is going to get a few SPs and more ADEs but like you say things haven't been confirmed but no way Citaros, its possible that SO will close down and move to Oxhey but it depends if SO can expand or not

[@rafidavis4326]

H11 Apprentice Oxhey? That's interesting. But where are those SPs coming from? Are there currently some in storage or some spare?

[@h11apprentice]

Go to remember you reply so quick!, Yes Oxhey on the old milk depot my company is thinking of buying that land and closing SO to make it a scrap centre, if this goes ahead the code will be OX, well this is the plan its SPs from AV as the 292 was supposed to get a SP allocation but due to the 142 that can't happen so what I've been told Vs SPs will move to AV BT gets the old SPs then the 27s ADHs move to the E3 and the 27 gets new buses

[@rafidavis4326]

H11 Apprentice sorry I got the notification of your reply straight away so I replied fast 😂. Interesting stuff- shame though as I was looking forward to those new ADHs as 142 and 258 are my most local routes but I do use a lot of the Edgware ones as well.

[@h11apprentice]

Sorry for late reply, helping out with 142 (I work for RATP) well the ADHs will be mainly assigned to the 258 but 1 or 2 on the 142. Do you live near the old Alpine? And do you have Whatsapp or Instagram just so we can chat faster

[@thomasfluskey5922]

I know that MMCs are due so that could be H12 or H14

[@BusesInLondon]

??

[@Movingmillion]

Well I'll be damned; h12 by sovereign. Is this the end of the plaxton presidents then?

[@h11apprentice]

My favourite 628 will go, ill see who buys it will not be Ensign I hope

[@BusesInLondon]

Yes, the end is coming for Metrolines VPs, Ensign will probably not buy considering they didnt get any HD VPs

[@harryr8409]

What is the difference between London United and London Sovereign

[@rafidavis4326]

Harry Rakowski Both part of RATP but were originally separate. Sovereign owns only 2 garages in North West London whilst London United has garages across London and operates more routes.

[@BusesInLondon]

Correct, happy to see the H12 pass back to Soveriegn. They used to run the H12 single decker,

[@babatunde6080]

I spot the 283 between

[@babatunde6080]

I spot 258 between

[@babatunde6080]

I spot the 258 between the 368 and 292

[@BusesInLondon]

????

[@dustybroadcast6035]

Will they get MMC's

[@BusesInLondon]

Not anytime soon
