Does anyone know where it is now. 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 When Metrobus withdrew 214 last year it was parked inside Croydon garage from when it was withdrawn in May up until October so it was there for a good few months.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 Am sure I read elsewhere on the forum that DMN1 is now engineless and dumped awaiting scrap.

You're right. It's now at BX too.

I thought it was transferring it's gaer box rather than the engine to a LDP?

The gear box is still the only thing going into the LDP. The bus is in a bad state - quite scratched and dented etc and scumpled up in the corner. Side blind has been smashed as well

Hi,
New to this forum.
I've got a weekend in London from next Friday until the following Tuesday. Just wondering where in particular I should go to find any endangered types in London?
As close to Crystal Palace as possible as that's roughly where I'm staying. One day out is planned to be in West London on the line out of Paddington, so anything in that area could be possible to visit too.
Many thanks in advance.

Hello Might be worth catching the B16 for the remaining LDP's and 19000 on the 248/252 (Sorry its not that close to Crystal Palace ) Also whilst in North East London, The remaining Arriva VLA's (not sure if its still a beast but if it is, VLA57 might be a good one to try and catch) Edit: A bit closer to CP, 18495 (SLN ALX400) in SE London

In fact it’s been used pretty heavily this month compared to previous months.

Arriva's remaining Pulsar Gemini DW's that are likely to be gone at the end of next month. There tends to be a few on the 194 and 197 that go fairly close to Crystal Palace.

I watched a video on YouTube of a tour around WH and the person said once 19000 is withdrawn it will become part of the heritage fleet

Ahh, thanks Its a 55 reg so was thinking its nearing the end of its lifetime I mean we know where it is going after but there has been no word of it leaving RM yet, 19000 is different as well, its an E400 and its more of a bus memories are tied to, I can see it being in service until at least when london wide ULEZ starts.
