Perhaps Sullivans could acquire 2 more of these for the 603? Considering DN33776/33777 and now 33782 are currently still available, they could also acquire all 3 and use the spare to replace an older bus in the fleet Yeah I'm thinking about the same thing as well Confirmed on Sullivan’s website that they will be acquiring 2 additional E400s to operate route 603 but not stated where they will come from

18464 now apparently withdrawn, according to the monthly Stagecoach Fleetlist Yep, seen it in TL recently with parts missing. It was a brilliant bus in its day, but more recently it was sounding like a ticking time bomb, so sadly I'm not surprised it's gone.

34381 hasn't been used for almost two months so it might be safe to say that it now has been withdrawn and with the ex 386 E200's returning to PD I'd expect the remaining Darts on the 291 to be withdrawn in the coming weeks.

The interesting thing is not all of the 386's Enviro 200's are actually needed at PD so I wonder if 36327-36329 will stay at TL - they've been in service still at TL with two of them on the 178 earlier. I suspect the 291 will end up with 36330-36337 - it has a PVR of 6 but is the only single decker route at PD so may require two spares compared to one as does sometimes happen elsewhere.

This suggests that Stagecoach are bidding to retain route 291 on the basis of ex-route 386 E200s. I think its proposed conversion to double-deck has been cancelled.

Those Ex 386 Enviro200s are 10 years old so I doubt they'll be used...that said the 318 did get retained with similarly aged E200s so who knows.

I think with Stagecoach they don’t mind bidding on the basis of new buses given the 356’s Enviro 200’s are being replaced with new buses plus one Euro V example. I suspect the 386’s Enviro 200’s are a stop gap until the 291 is retended personally.

But Sullivan’s quoting them as hybrids which they are not.

PDL121 now withdrawn blinds out ticket machine out and arriva stickers taken off Goodbye PDL121 "The lonely Dart" I'm really going to miss her 😭 Croydon now has no Darts in service even if/when PDL120 enters service it still not a true dart, the era of E200MMC & Uglylight now untill the electrics take over. No bus will ever be as good as a Dennis Dart, let's hope as meany as possible are preserved.

PDL120 should now be the closest thing to it, but like Jay said above, it won’t be the same. ENL4 should be off to pastures new too, but not withdrawn yet.
