I need to clear this up...
I seen on other forum that the Go Ahead's contracted routes 14, 19, 22, 74 would be "likely" to convert to New Routemaster, plus it will cause the fleet to move around with their routes served by older buses.
Then someone replies "SW's LTs actually have 88 on the blinds so it's a good chance the route will be converted at some stage."
and another one says "189 is said to be receiving LTs and the TEHs to be used on the 332 contract. A memo was put up at Cricklewood Garage for staff only...stating that the 332 will use existing Hybrids." Then another user claims that the route would be 'definitely' getting NRM's.
But the routes that are on the blinds would likely to have a conversion like the London United routes 9, 10 and 148.

Those who don't know; the 159 was supposed to get it, because of problems at Paddington Basin (only 1 stand for NbFL maybe?  ) Whatever the reason; the 159 shouldn't be extended to Paddington Basin in the first place 15 - had PVR 31 then now 24 159 -had PVR 31 before extension, now (before curtailment) PVR 38 which will get PVR 34 when curtailing www.londonbuses.co.uk/routes/015.htmlwww.londonbuses.co.uk/routes/159.html^^ I'm sure everyone knows about the paragraph above ^^ Back on topic; the 189 apparently will get LTs sometime, considering 14 won't get it in 2014 and 10 routes to be converted in the end of 2014; After 148 and LT150, 10's LTs are ready with some for the 38 (LT176...) and 8 completed, would have been suprised if Stagecoach had LT200 though  , < because they hate (?) numbers with '0's except 19000 which is special, but was rumoured that after 38's LTs are ready, the 159 will convert  , I'm sure buses can't stand in Streatham < I just hoped what happened at Paddington Basin would happen, because the 'turning point' at St. Leonard's Church has one stand, including the one reserved for 133 which is now 'demolished' although still having the bus stand mark  , < NB4Ls = no offence to those who are fans of it but just has and take 87 people and can go 50mph which we all see the NBFL crashes maybe the hardness of driving, (maybe the 6th crash now?) yeah, and other buses are easier to drive such as B9TLs (although now out of production, say B5TL as they're the same?) can take 91 and can go more than 87+mph E400s can take 67 seated but don't know of how many can stand though |

The Borismaster can take 80 people because of weight compared to the E40D's 87 and B5TL's 94, Unorm. I've heard rumours about the 211 and 188 getting these buses, and Abellio have apparently been discussing with TFL about converting the C2... |

I might have heard it but we'll see, (hopefully 3 doesn't convert or 2) |

The 159 once cut back, will be suitable for NRMs

Slowly, one by one, Zone 1 bus routes or entering Central London, will aparently convert , which means the 211 has a 50:50 chance, if lucky, there might be lots of blocks } such as some roads unsuitable for the NBFL or even terminus but no (12m can cope with Waterloo Taxi Road, and Hammersmith has 9 (with an NBFL) Somehow, I don't know what they'll do with the 6 though  |

Route 55 may be on the Hit List as it didn't get a Contract Extension despite being Operated Fairly Well

, < because they hate (?) numbers with '0's except 19000 which is special, but was rumoured that after 38's LTs are ready, the 159 will convert
