It’s 667 according to the video. I’m gonna assume they come from ex First London blinds since Im pretty sure it was a trend for First to pretty much put a lot of blinds from other garages. Also both routes were operated by First in the past. Sorry my mistake yes 667 - but these buses were new in 2013 and WOB so can't be ex First blinds.

That’s the only explanation I’ve got as to why this particular blind contains it. Back in June 22nd 2013 Go Ahead acquired both the 667 and 679 and I believe that the 425 was won by First London (not Tower Transit) as well which implies that the blinds were ordered for the route before the 425 started its contract. You could very well be right though, I know the 165, 179, 252 and 365 acquired white blinds when they got their E200s and E400s but the 425 probably did receive YOB.

You could be right too These DNs had WOB from new then got new WOB sets again when the 69 moved in 2016. So perhaps the original set had ex First Routes. Edit : I don't think the 13 Reg have 69 blinds! Heats getting to me

I checked LVF to see if it has appeared on the 69 and its only appearance was a log in. Safe to say this is certainly an ex First blind.

Bit of an old one but when TGM's 04 reg Caetano Darts were newly delivered for the 112, their blindsets contained all the Thorpes routes at the time.
If I remember correctly, they were looking at buying out Thorpes or were rumoured to be. Then Metroline came along.......!!!

The order of the DNs plus the blindsets were done by First prior to the DNs being delivered.

Back in the 90s Stockwell's allocated LDPs for the 345 included blindsets for the 196, the buses then being LDP45-51.
