Seeming that Stagecoach London's mass hybrid order is widely discussed, what is your opinion on the current plans and how do you feel?
Personally I'm thinking about the 96 and 472's plans.

Well now we Know that the Hybrids that will come into PD will indeed have the 96 on the Blinds but they will be locked so the bus cannot Display them

That seems a bit extreme, maybe they heard of Metrobus' idiocy and decided to try and prevent that happening to the E40Hs. But then why would they have 96 on the blinds in the first place?
I still think all this movement was pointless, and the B5LHs would fit better at TL.
The 96 wouldn't fit E40Hs well on the fast Dartford-Bluewater bit though, so in a way it's good that it's getting diesels.

Its Probably so that If there is a bus Shortage it will Prevent them From doing a "BE"

I have spent quite a while sorting of the allocation of the Routes with this mass hybrid order from Stagecoach.
Mass Hybrid Order:
32/32 – Volvo B5L Hybrids
101/103 – Enviro 400 Hybrids * 2 spare E40H's*
Buses moving
10 E40D’s from PD Route 53 to WH
9 Scania’s from 96 to WH
Plan
32 Enviro 400 Hybrids to TL (Catford) for 54 and 75
27 + 3 Enviro 400 Hybrids to BW (Bow) for 205
3 existing Enviro 400 from Route 53 to WH (West Ham) for 262
9 existing Omnicities off Route 96 to WH (West Ham) for 262
7 existing Enviro 400 from Route 53 to RM (Rainham) for 372
20 Enviro 400 Hybrids to PD (Plumstead) for 472
16 Enviro 400 Hybrids to PD (Plumstead) for 122
26 Volvo B5L Hybrids to PD (Plumstead) for 53
6 Volvo B5L Hybrids to PD (Plumstead) for 177
6 Scania’s to PD (Plumstead) for 96
3 Enviro 400 Hybrids to Plumstead for 96 (This is needed to total 96's PVR or what other 3 buses can be used to total up 96's PVR)
Notes
96 (21) + 1 Spare
99 (12) + 1 Spare
177 (18) +1 Spare
53 (26) + 3 Spare (From 99,122 and 601 PM only)
I hope what I have done above avoids further confusion to the Stagecoach London mess hybrid order and I must thanks eastlondoner for helping me out.

B5Ls on the 177? That'd be a world of improvement compared to the unrefurbished (and rock-hard) Scanias on the route, as well as the destroyed Tridents that stray on it regularly. But where would the Scanias go, assuming that happens? Or did I just miss something in the list?
I also didn't see any mention of the 136 extension, which will require a PVR increase of about 5/6.

The 136 will Extended before the 54's Contract Commences. Diesel Enviro400s have Already been Ordered but these Won't Arrive in time. Therefore the 136 will Temprorarily be allocated the 54's E40H until the Diesels Arrive Later |

Never knew that Stagecoach ordered Euro 6 B5TL's, what a disaster.

@lb67 This one's a Euro6 B5LH just as they ordered, with the Gemini 3 body. Also it has the normal blue interior instead of the green hybrid one.
But it has blinds for TL's route 54 clearly, which just confuses me even more when according to the list they're going to PD.....

When this bus was built the Plan was them to go to TL, upon arrival at PD it will get some New Blinds and Predictably those would probably be thrown into the E40Hs that are Destined for PD |

The E40Hs are road-legal from today (the 14 plates are introduced), and 12261 and 12262 are showing on the LVF, though there is no record of either in service. I think we'll see them soon, probably on the 47.

No sign of many new E40Hs, although AFAIK 12263 and 12264 are sitting in TL garage wasting space

Anyways, i heard 12319-363 will have S K14 plates instead of SN14, thus still 14reg, but the rest are expected to be a different reg. |

When will the new e400h's enter service on the 205 at BW? 30 August 2014 That's when it's meant to be, but some of the new buses have already been sighted at BW, so it's likely to be earlier. In fact, about a month ago some were saying they would ALL be in service by the end of MAY. |

If there currently at BW then they they might be all in service by the mid june because you can't keep them there until august unless you're fitting the Ibus,inserting blinds and whatever else they need

They might, it was said that the 205's might go in service before the date, maybe true, in the meantime, I'll be watching E40H's off the 15 go on the 205. *looks at 15* |

But even then, the point is, this is a brand new bus. The last time I saw a broken down bus was several months ago when a Trident on the 8 broke down on Parnell Road.
*Flashback*
What a day of chaos that was. I've never seen an Omnicity broken down, but I've seen Tridents, Presidents, Gemini 1 and 2's, and E400's broken down. Says a lot...
