So the company forgot they sold a bus? 😂 Then there was the task of shifting 8 redundant 45 MMCs to QB. That was a fight against the clock to get blocked in buses out and prevent the rest from entering the garage, especially as the only exit is blocked off at a certain time. Luck would have it the last one was on the last 196 of the day to Norwood Junction and we got back to the garage seconds before it was to be driven in and blocked in. LVF plays its part in locating buses without having to harass iBus. Of course if you don't know there is a ticking clock you'll get to 2am and find it's impossible to complete the mission. What could have been done with those buses was to have them allocated to routes and running numbers that finish early at the depot. That way they could've been parked up in such an area where your team could simply arrive to pick them up there and then. When Stockwell had its last day of the 345, buses were subbed one by one outside Stockwell Station for double deckers that had just finished from other routes. This enabled the relevant LDPs to be at New Cross by the end of the evening.

The ones in that post are ex Abellio ones at Ensigns, not this add for the ex TT ones and the 2 streetlites To be honest I didn't click on the link but simply read the description as long wheel base, which the Abellio versions are. Having clicked on the link and now seeing the Tower Transit ones I now realise the link description is inaccurate as their's are in fact short wheelbase like with Go Ahead's WVLs.

WVL133 was one of my all-time favourite B7TL, reminiscent in performance to DLA156.
