I did have a feeling that 6344 being withdrawn may happen some years back at the end of the 409 contract. I will miss it. Hopefully it goes into preservation.

Right well there goes all of Selsdon's Euro 2 Darts , mind you I did see 357 on bus stops from Warlingham to Harrow, don't know if they've been there long but it could mean something!

Metrobus won't operate the 409 from this Saturday. 357 extended to Selsdon. 6957 (not to be confused with London 957, which is still in service) has entered service on route 400. Im really going to miss Metrobus on the 409, they did such a great job! Again, good thing i don't live in Caterham no more to experience Southdown PSV running the route (who were not good at all in my opinion).

Credit to Southdown they'll be using brand new 66 plate enviros on the route 409 from tomorrow.

Credit to Southdown they'll be using brand new 66 plate enviros on the route 409 from tomorrow. These must be the first double decks that Southdown has bought new. The Enviro 400's are also on a Scania chassis. Its also good to see the 409 double decked, but sad to see it not being run by Metrobus. Has 6344 now been stood down following the 409's loss? The running numbers (CY102/103 and 227) and MPD's from route 409 are now the 21's new allocation. I do go to Box Hill quite a lot, so I will ride the 21 one day. 6765 was the last bus under Metrobus on route 409, and ironically it was the first bus on route 21!

Not quite, GX06 AOE was new to Southdown for when they first had the 409 / 411.
