These buses aren't used on TfL routes, why would they be using iBus? They work the school routes OK I didn't think ELV6 was used on TfL school routes but there you go.

Looks like last of the Tempos have now gone out of service, so another bus type in London gone
RATP still using 5 Versa at Epsom on 465 (no idea how much longer they will survive)

I will miss them as well single deckers are becoming so boring. EDIT. Don't get me wrong I think the enviro 200 MMC are great buses and far superior than the standard DE but there's nothing unique any more with OTs and the citrao soon going.

I don't suppose many drivers will miss the OT's, slow, heavy steering and generally uncomfortable according to a driver on the H37.

Wonder if DMN1 will gain inserts for the 232?

I don't suppose many drivers will miss the OT's, slow, heavy steering and generally uncomfortable according to a driver on the H37. That may be true from a driver’s perspective, but I’ve had some impressive journeys on some Tempos on the 203 and they just feel so powerful compared to the Citaros. They will be missed.

The former NCP Challenger short Darts have now gone with RATP finishing on E11
There are still about 7 of the 10.2m Darts (but numbers going down as new buses enter service on 440) Looks like the remnants of NCP Challenger are near the end (but some will live on as RATP trainers for a while)

Probably parked in NP somewhere It is most likely still parked up at NP awaiting disposal. When Metrobus withdrew 214 last year it was parked inside Croydon garage from when it was withdrawn in May up until October so it was there for a good few months. Not sure where that's gone now but I understand its still on Go-Ahead's books as it's been SORN'd ever since last May
