@@NLTransport I agree, RATP were terrible on the 28. I’m not surprised X would lose the 28 again because 28 is expensive and X doesnt have much money for much routes, also the reason why they lost C3, I was surprised that they gained the C3 back in 2020.
@@YX09AETyeah it was stated in 28s recent award that it was too expensive to run with electric OMEs despite being on a hybrid contract at RATP and would be too expensive to award the 28 on a electric tender hence it went back to diesels. I do think that if the 414 is awarded with an electric tender then it would be smart to use the OMEs on it, if not then i can certainly see the 295 downgrading to the OMEs to release BCEs to PVR increases at FW and other new contracts. The 49 did downgrade to 69 reg BCEs when 49/94 both had massive PVR cuts so there shouldnt be a issue with the 295 downgrading to 70/21 reg electrics as long as its still on an electric contract
@@zfs.59 yes that is true. However, some electrics may also be needed for the 452 since that is currently diesel but i doubt that they will give some of the OME’s to 452
@@YX09AETthe 452 has a current surplus amount of vehicles and getting rid of the VDWs is easy as the VMH/WH allocation might be more than enough after its PVR cut unless 2 or 3 more hybrids transfer in if there are any shortages, ideally spare 62 reg ADHs which could come from the E1 loss and is ideal as the 414 already uses 12 reg examples. The 452 wont be using the OMEs as an allocation as they did put them on the 28 to transfer the 13 reg G2 B5LHs to the 220 which didnt help X retain the 28 tbh and would be expensive. They were better off keeping the 13 regs on it or getting spare 16 rey G3s on the route for a retain if they really wanted to tbh. The choice of OMEs boils down to the 295 or 414 now as the 13 is on a hybrid contract with the VMHs. The 295 has been using the OMEs more than any other route at X and is allocated a few as 2 BCEs are at SO for the 183 contract and more BCEs are needed for FW which can come from the 295.
Good catch
Thanks
Great journey!
Thanks!
Nice video
Thanks
Decent Journey low-key an upgrade
Defo nice seing B9s on it!
Thanks, icl this was some slow journey cause all the other 28s I had were fast but too busy
Nice journey, what is your opinion on this change?
Thanks, it’s nice to have Gemini 2s on 28 again and hopefully ML wont be as unreliable as ratp
