Sorry I'm a bit out of touch but Arriva London's acquiring some second-hand B9TLs? They bought 10 ex Tower Transit VNs which used to be on the 266. They will be VW901-10. Apparently once the new HVs have moved out of EC and got on the 243, and more DWs head to DT, we may see the VWs by the New Year. Am seeing more HVs appearing on the 243 so hopefully soon  |

Sorry I'm a bit out of touch but Arriva London's acquiring some second-hand B9TLs? Arriva have purchased 10 of the former 266 batch of VNs. They were acquired in October and allocated fleet numbers VW901-910. They are on an 18 month lease direct from Volvo and will be used on the 123 alongside a similar number of DWs which in turn will oust the VLAs. At present the main priority is to get the HVs in service while the operating licenses for the VWs is awaited. |

Sorry I'm a bit out of touch but Arriva London's acquiring some second-hand B9TLs? They have leased 10 former Tower Transit B9TL/Gemini 2s ex of route 266. They came via Ensignbus and I understand they are all parked up at EC now. |

Have the January movements at Ensigns been released yet? Seemingly not as the sites I get the information off of have nothing on them yet, but they have been released as late as the 10th before so I'd say anytime in the next week, will post it when I see it come out on the usual sites  |

Sad to see TA201 (or TA40201 had it still been in the fleet) going for scrap, as well as DP195 and ex Metrobus 272.
Glad to see former Metrobus 706 and 708 being put to work elsewhere.

As you mentioned 706 here it is www.flickr.com/photos/gjm-photogenic/25124056557/in/dateposted/ (not my photo) And people complain about blinds and liveries in London!   |
