b) The existing electrics?

Thanks Tony. Not sure if you are able to say, but will the B7s also be replaced in the next 12 months by the 130 electric double deckers?

I'm also presuming the X1 will need to be electrics.

The only reason I asked about the Platinums was the route distance and whether electrics would be acceptable - from your reply, I'm presuming the answer is yes!

im thinking of making the 4/4A a platinum route using the ex 11/12A e400mmcs. Its just my opinion before someone starts on me
4/4A need platinums and E200mmcs maybe used on single deck routes slowly replacing older single deckers for example omnilinks when their time comes to go.

Do those E200MMCs have stop start? I remember seeing a video of one which looked to have stop start (although the video was published a few years ago now), but when I've been on one, the engine stays on.

Wasnt it just 2201 and 2202 that had that feature? Or did I misremember that?

they used to do it back when the 37 existed. They still have a green sticker inside them next to the CCTV screen saying stop and start saving emissions etc. I think 2205 also has it i dont remember
