Sunday 13th July 2014

Now that Atlas Road and Wandsworth garage has been gained, we will be having a few fleet and route movements:
The 49 will be operated from Wandsworth garage with 22 hybrid double-deckers.
The 220's allocation will fully move to Wandsworth garage and no duties will be run from Merton or Westbourne Park anymore.

We can also confirm that we have made an order of 53 hybrid double-deckers for routes 49 and 220. As well as 1 hybrid single-decker for route 219 accompanied by 13 diesel single-decker buses.

I would pinky swear, but my pinky ring too big.

Monday 14th July 2014

After a few hours of negotiations, we can confirm that we have cancelled the current contract of route 94 in exchange for routes 13, E5, E10 and E11 who were under London Connect operation. This move sees all 53 of the buses operating the 13, E5, E10 and E11 will transfer over to A2B Buses. The 34 buses for the 94 will stay with A2B Buses and will displace the buses currently on route 13 as they will be displaced and stored at Devane Way garage. The 28 8.9m Wright StreetLite WF's currently operating routes E5, E10 and E11 will continue to operate on the routes but will eventually be displaced by newer buses.

Now that these routes have been gained, they will need a garage to be operated out of. Routes E5, E10 and E11 will operate out of Atlas Road garage, LEH1-28 will eventually be displaced to Devane Way garage. Route 13 will operate from Westbourne Park garage, AEH5-28 will stay and displace LEH1-23 to Devane Way, AEH29-37 will head to Wandsworth garage as logical spares.

Buses transferred:
28 8.9m Wright StreetLite DF - These will be coded LWS1-28
23 10.2m Alexander Dennis Enviro400H Hybrid - These will be coded LEH1-23

I would pinky swear, but my pinky ring too big.
