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. Did you see it on the 60? It would have been the 60 or 466

Judging by LVF it seems T28, T32-5, T37 & T38 are in service on the 102 still in use, are these here until further buses are released from the 19 next Saturday?

I have just noticed that the ibus on a Tottenham HV has changed to Tottenham Hale Bus station, Noth side stand. When did this Change and is it permanent?

I was on the 41 earlier in the day and the ibus did announce Tottenham Hale as normal.

I now have the answer after walking past DW306 in Purley this afternoon and I got a photo of it. It's just the front end that's been repainted. Part of the top has also been repainted too which may point towards a collision with a tree or lamppost. Another bus with a new front end is T67, which I saw on the 412. It's lost its foglights and has provincial spec glass around the front blind, as well as repainted side. It was out of service between April 15th and May 3rd which also points towards RTC damage. Shame really as T67 looked pretty immaculate when it arrived from DX. It now has TC codes though which confirms it's a permanent transfer really.

From that angle of the photo, it looks as good as new, hopefully the 60’s DWs will be refurbished soon. And T67 I always knew was a permanent transfer for the 466’s PVR increase, I wonder why other 08reg Ts from AD unlike T42 and 43 didn’t transfer over seeing as they’re no use there but a T from DX did? Probably wanting to go higher in numerical order seeing as TC have T66.

T67 was on loan to WN for about 6 months until it got transferred to TC and looks like now that DW332 has replaced T67 at DX seeing that DW332 has finally settled at DX since it stayed there since August 2019 after over a year of that being a yo-yo of transferring many different garages such WN & DT during that time.

What did Arriva London order for 312 since I’m guessing it was E200 EVs?

What did Arriva London order for 312 since I’m guessing it was E200 EVs? No order has been placed. I think it's dependent on the upcoming consultation, but probably 5 new buses. I did hear Yutong was preferred.

A driver I know down there was saying that was the rumour but the TC rumour mill is known for having an accuracy rate of about 1 in a million
