The majority of DT fleet that had dirt marks all over the bodywork they should have all now been throughly scrubbed off now. DT do really well presenting their DD fleet, not sure what the SD fleet is like only saw the ENLs used on the 469/B12 which had started to deteriorate. The ENXs look ok. The ENRs look like they could do with a refurb now.

Is it feasible for Arriva to use Beddington Farm garage for operation of routes?

It's not big however I've been past there and don't see why not if all the relevant licensing and permissions are in place. Would need some sort of office/portakabin though I think?

Well it used to operate routes but it was closed for route operation in late 2012.

Well it used to operate routes but it was closed for route operation in late 2012. The new Beddington Farm site was opened only a few years ago - it's different to CN which was the previous Arriva Beddington garage. The new site only holds around 35-40 buses whereas CN held much more than that. The new site was originally brought to house a couple of routes as mentioned in a few press releases.

Been out of service for less than a year! I Havent Seen it, Not All of the Buses will end up being Scrapped. THE VLASs, DAFs, PDLs will probably be scrapped.

Allocations look to be quite tight at DX now as they've let go of two DWs the past few months (DW246/7) and gained nothing in return which leaves the 175 using DW248-258) {11 Buses} + DW324-328 (5 Buses) - The PVR is 14 (+2 spare). Route 150 T169-T185 (17 Buses) PVR 15 + 2 Spare - T186-T193 + DW328-30 (10) 10 Buses, the route has a PVR of 10, no spares. Then they also have the issue that half of the 150s buses are branded, all the Ts are restricted to route 150 and 368 and the DWs have become quite unreliable recently with many out at a single time so I struggle to see DX coping without anything brought in to help unless DX just keep taped up buses on the road which is a signature move for the garage and wouldn't surprise me.

I would imagine this is why the Deckers on the 325 have also suddenly become very rare despite DX frequently threw them out after the first lockdown. Usually this would have been the situation where the 173 became victim to a few single deckers but obviously now there's no 173. The ENL allocation at the moment is a bit generous as I believe a few buses got transferred in for the impending Beckton extension of the 325. I wonder if these will end up sneaking onto the 175, 368 or 150.

DW245 also transferred into GY from DX around the same time as DW246. With the 150 and 175 both still having 2 spares each, that was probably enough reason for DW247 to move out, as opposed to any other Arriva bus garage. Seems buses are moving out of DX in numerical order, though I'd imagine DW247 is only a temporary loan. T307 hasn't been in service since the 4th of April DW450 hasn't been in service since the 29th of April
