LDP194 is officially the oldest bus in London with ELV6 being close behind it. I feel kind of privileged that I can still see LDP194 and LDP206 along with Tridents and OmniCities in regular service in my area.

RATP is close to dropping out of this competition, as the remaining DPS are on borrowed time and expected to be stood down soon.
The only pre 2008 buses still active in RATP fleet are : 2002 DPS 30671, (another one 30673 hasn't been used for few days) 2003 DPS 30687, 2006 SP 40001 - 40009 (9 buses) 2007 DE 20057 - 20065 (9 buses)
Not sure which month DPS30671 entered service, but must be close to starting 18th year of service.

Arriva are about to lose those DW's when the 197' goes to Go Ahead London And 128 is lost by Arriva in October, I assume that when route 100 gets new electric buses, then those single deck stragglers at GoAhead can leave. The K1 is out to tender so will see off the last Abellio Darts The RATP SPs will probably get replaced from the 94 electric bus cascade. The remainder are probably temporary as refurb and upgrade floats so could be phased out anytime, especially if cuts release alternative buses

LDP194 is officially the oldest bus in London with ELV6 being close behind it. The demise of LDP194 means need a new oldest bus (ELV6 finished in July on TfL work) I am guessing WVL111 or Sullivan’s TPL 926, 927 (all 03-reg)

Yes, 3 of them on K1, 8020 is 54-reg, other pair are 05-reg so not oldest, but 8020 is oldest single deck
