They've had an enthusiasts section for years.

I knew about the enthusiast page but I never noticed the history document they have on there. Very interesting to see that in 2003 they requested for planning permission for a garage in Coulsdon

The others awaiting disposal and we're all parked up in the yard on Tuesday. Also only 6379 remains from the catanoe batch Sad to see the former 405 batch off, I remember these when they were new before 947-952 replaced them. I'll guess they'll join 6344 in storage down in Conway Street, Brighton. Received latest fleet list on staff email and only 6217 and 6206 were listed. The others awaiting disposal and we're all parked up in the yard on Tuesday. Also only 6379 remains from the catanoe batch Sad to hear only one Caetano Nimbus is left - only ever rode one and that was on the 405. The Caetano's had a lot of life in them, had a few on the 409. 6364 was one which still had life, however I think its been scrapped. 6379 however was a good bus and I'm glad its that one which is still in service.

LOTS are reporting that two extra Volvo B8RLE's are on order for Fastway routes. Will these have the Gemini 3 style front or the original front?
