Stay of execution
The collection of diesels as the temporary allocation of the 330/474 is largely comprised of E’s, but a few WVL’s are also used. Most are from the 11 reg batch last used on the D7, but an older one is WVL293.
This one was displaced from the 321 at New Cross in early 2023, but together with sister WVL294 it avoided the chop thanks to being sent to Northumberland Park to cover for a couple of 476 allocated WVN’s which had met premature ends.
WVL293 is seen at Beckton Bus Station, running about 10 minutes late after the wheelchair ramp had a hissy fit just after I boarded at North Woolwich.
The first cascaded WHV’s (from the 188) are finally starting to arrive, so the conversation might take place soon.
WVL294 is still in the fleet too, helping out at Bexleyheath pending electrics. 2.10.25.
