Nice video! I’m looking forward to the LK65’s possibly being transferred.

[@MostlyBuses1]

Thanks! The LK65s are staying at DT though, none are allocated to the 99, 269 or 401. The DWs will probably be leaving sadly

[@MostlyBuses1]

also for some reason KZbin blocked your other comment. It was T300

[@londonbusfanrex]

@@MostlyBuses1 sad to see the DW’s leave. Anyways thanks for telling me about the T part, very strange KZbin blocked it

[@markcf83]

They are staying on the 229 and 492. Possibly they'll appear on the 428 too.

[@shacarioking5149]

I’ll definitely be out on the last day it’s a shame for Arriva to lose this route along with the 401 and 99

I'm thinking of ALN space.

[@chrish8823]

Route 269 wasn't completely withdrawn between Woolwich and Bexleyheath until 1999. There was a single early morning journey at about 0510 that ran with a midibus from Plumstead Station to Queen Mary's hospital in Sidcup on Monday to Saturdays.

[@MostlyBuses1]

Thanks for the correction.

[@TESL1.10]

1:01 OMG THE OLD FONT ON Ts

[@londonbuses4763]

Nice one as always! Unfortunately it looks like the DWs will probably leave london but hopefully a few get sent to other garages

[@MostlyBuses1]

@londonbuses4763 Thanks! I hope some of them will be sent to GY like the 279's Ts, it would be a shame if they were withdrawn straight away like the 266's ADEs

[@londonbuses4763]

@ yeah hopefully they’ll be spread around London garages but at least with some of those ADEs Uno have them on the 298

[@WarwickAvenue-j8f]

269 will look extremely weird with Go Ahead London, if it was Stagecoach London that it was returning to, then I would said say it’s fine

[@MostlyBuses1]

I don't mind GAL getting the 269 tbh. The temporary allocation will be nice

[@WarwickAvenue-j8f]

@ true but soon the electrics would change my decision of taking the route would make me not get on anymore

[@MostlyBuses1]

​@@WarwickAvenue-j8fyeah but I think Arriva and Stagecoach would have got electrics if they retained / won those routes.

I heard that Route 323 has moved to Ash Grove garage

[@MostlyBuses1]

@TransportCrazyPlayz I think it has. It's because West Ham is closing

[@TransportCrazyPlayz]

@@MostlyBuses1 I think this means the EV's have been withdrawn

[@MostlyBuses1]

@TransportCrazyPlayz no, they're being used on the Silvertown cycle route. The 323 got retained by Stagecoach with electrics but that was before the contract for the cycle route was announced so no one knows what the allocation will be in the future. we'll just have to wait and see

[@JAmoahGranite58]

@@MostlyBuses1 Never noticed the Silvertown cycle route would be surprised if there were some rationalisation between two tunnels and even tighter before it was passed on through stagecoach west ham, Only one off EV's proxy in some respects as Ash grove keeps the 323 past 5 years. Hard to maintain right coverage for old times before East Thames buses taken over 2005 Arriva London which can be solved ex- CT Plus the extra cost of getting unique perspectives, especially on small operators where they can’t afford Lea Interchange all the regulations.

yeah there are loads of routes like that. I was hoping there would be more Gemini 2s though, it's mostly Evosetis

@@MostlyBuses1if arriva won 269 it would definitely get hybrids making it somewhat better than diesels rather than “delayed” electrics
