Routes 184 & 484 will gain new electric single-deckers, while route 469 & B12 are rumoured to be gaining Enviro 200-MMCs coming off lease from Abellio route C10 as it is due to receive new electric buses shortly.

Disposal doesn't necessarily mean they're done and dusted - good chance they've been let free due to contract changes and will pass to another operator

However with the timeliness of electric buses starting operating on routes when they should do, I can imagine that the LTs will transfer to Abellio for a few months until the electric buses are ready to be actually used?

TF depot already have LTs for route 267 so are familiar with them.
