Besides they are 2006, so would be too old to redeploy on London work, I believe the only reason TPL926/927 are still on TfL work is because of them being Euro VI floats for the DS. Some people think that they are for the 640 because they are on LVF and what bus enthusiasts says. Perhaps they are on LVF for potential rail replacement use?

Have these ex Metroline buses been seen in use yet? Are there are pictures or what livery will it be painted to? I do know that the two buses were receiving blinds recently but I don't know about interior/exterior refurbishment

Getting a 2009 ex TLN E400 was great down the A12 on their Rail Replacements. Looking forward to a VN on that instead very soon !!

VN's have not been confirmed at all - the poster above said he was guessing. Mr Sullivan has mentioned on his Facebook group he would prefer Enviro 400's if possible with worst case scenario being more Scanias.

Spotted TN1 travelling through North Watford earlier, must say that the East Lancs Lolyne bodywork looks rather dated nowadays!
Does anyone know why the TfL fleet still don't carry SB logos?

I remember reading on one of the facebook groups around the time the 217s buses entered service that the logo isn't compliant with TfL standards. I didn't quite know TfL set standards for their logos. I'm sure someone else will know more on the matter

The SB logo almost fills the whole depth of the panel above the lower deck windows.

Something like keeping the downward arrow (or whatever it's correct name is) but much smaller with having Sullivan Buses along one line but in its current font.

But doesn’t RATP use 3 lines for their company logo? I think he should use his current logo but without the yellow ribbon so it’s just ‘Sullivan Buses’ on top of each other in its current yellow font

The reverse is true with Go Ahead.

Don't logo's have to be white? I think the Stagecoach 'ball' is now mostly white for London operations. Even CT plus get away with a fairly colourful logo, albeit small on their new fleet on the 20's. It would be nice to see the Sullivan fleet with some sort of logo, they look a little plain without one
