Possible loan, but wow very rare, do not see why they would need a loan though, hmm. Probably because it is required at GY. Garages loan buses for various reason. So why Question it?

Well I was not questioning its presence on the 370, I was questioning whether it actually could be a transfer or loan, could be a transfer but is most probably a loan.

DW332 is a funny one, it is not ever seen often at DX and can be out for weeks at a time and only ever seems to appear on the 368, before the use of the 370 it was last used on the 25th Jan on 368, I am going out today so I will see if it is blinded etc, it may have new blinds and may even be refurbished but I could not be sure due to the amount of time it spends off the road. I must say, I hope it is a transfer as I would love to see those 60 reg examples refurbished and being used more than they are at DX. This year alone it has not been used as much: Attachment Deleted

A lot of those DW300s are unallocated anyway I believe it’s only the last four or five of the 300 series that doesn’t have a regular allocation - DW300 is for the 221, 301-317 for the 60, 318-325 was for the 403 but was lost and these are earmarked for other routes (possibly 301 whenever it is created) & 326-330 or 331 for the 368

Contract awarded to Arriva London from Dartford garage with 10 existing double deckers from routes 106, 144, 253 and 403

Contract awarded to Arriva London from Dartford garage with 10 existing double deckers from routes 106, 144, 253 and 403 It will have a mix of DW’s from different garages - as I mentioned, the ex 403 DW’s (DW318-325) are likely to be in the mix which londonbusroutes also mentions.

Wasn't some of the ex 403 DWs going to the 158?

Contract awarded to Arriva London from Dartford garage with 10 existing double deckers from routes 106, 144, 253 and 403 The buses from the 301 & 428 will not be coming from AE, neither is it going to be the displaced batch at TC from the 403. The allocations for these routes have not been confirmed and probably will not be confirmed until the 301 is due to start and 428 double decked which is still to be confirmed. The award simply stated from Routes 106, 144, 253 & 403. The 301 is likely not to start for now as the Crossrail seems to have been deffered further and within that time the allocation could possibly change. The company will use whatever it can when the 301 is meant to begin and likely to do shuffling. Example the 99, 269 & 401 were awarded with existing buses and the tender stated, ”2011 - 2013 made available from the conversion of route 253 to New Routemaster and new contracts on routes 41 and 141.” In reality the vehicles in use are from the 349 DW423/424 and DW425-459 from the 243 in use because of shuffling.

LJ60AXR have had new blinds put in since being on the 368 on the 25th. It also is blinded for the 370. ^ Possibly staying at GY? Could DX and GY have blinds with both garage routes? I know the 325 ENLs have either the 347 or 375 on them as you an just see it under the 325 if the blind is not set properly.

Unsure, possibly but if so, the blinds would be incorrect as just under 370 is 103 and the rear blind was half blinded, in any case it should been the 368 under the 370 if it was still blinded for DX routes.
