Passed ENL89 earlier and noticed all the seats have been replaced with new ones was only for a short time but with the lights on and it being dark it is easy to tell, it hasn’t been repainted. This was the last bus in service in London to have the old Arriva Moquette when I last drove it had the original seating. DW201-219 were recently refurbished and featured this End of an era - the DLA's at TH were the first buses I used with the new moquette at the time followed by the 468 DLA's

Judging from the pics I’ve seen on Flickr T199 still has the old moquette. Still has its original paintwork ENL89 was repainted whilst at GR and has had 3 different fleet numbers 4009, 3818 and now ENL89 (4000-4010) new for the 370 still around today ENL80-90

I may ask, since Arriva made a ADL order on 202, 319 and 405 could 312 possibly get new E200 EVs? Last thing I heard was Yutong. But it's probable that the new vehicle requirement will be delayed for a little bit until the consultation on the 312 is finalised. The plans envisage 3 extra buses on the route, so probably 5 new buses ordered for that and to replace the demo Optares. Why can't the optare demos be retained (64reg)? Wouldn't it be simpler to order additional EMCs to give a common fleet, rather than Yutongs?

Thornton Heath have started displaying their running boards in the windscreens instead of the holders on the side of the vehicle, noticed a few 64s pass me carrying them.

Looks like today could be the last day of double deckers on the 325. Most have gradually been taken out of service during the day with 6 ENLs on the route.

Thought I drove by DW306 in service yesterday, and it had new Arriva logos, but not convinced it was refurbished. Bus is not tracking on lvf, last reported in use 16/05, to see whether local confirmation would be possible. Vehicle did have approx 10 weeks off the road (or not tracking) mid Feb to end April, so could possibly be accident damage rather than a refurb.

I also drove by it yesterday too but forgot to report it. It’s definitely not refurbished, it just has new logos.
