I can confirm ENX31 and ENX32 are still at TH. ENX31 is on the pit, and ENX32 is round the back of the garage where no one can see it Has the reliability of these vehicles plummeted or are they encouraged not to use them as they are single decker? I have no idea, engineers do what they like with no logic involved with their decision. Unless they are preparing them to move to TC tonight

I know the 325 and DX get a hard time on here but today feels like the end of an era. Hard to believe Arriva have run the route for 14 years. It seemed so different back in 2010 having an Arriva route in the very dominant Stagecoach area of east London. Personally I will miss the buses and service they provided. I just know within a week I will be reporting Go Ahead buses being regulated along the route. Seeing as people keep posting that Arriva need to be given a chance on the SL2, surely Go Ahead deserve the same leeway?

Well what can I say I am basing it on past experience and the minute the 300 was rerouted it had buses constantly regulating along Freemasons Road and New Barn Street. I know my in person observations are always doubted but I know what I see in my daily commute. Seen as you pulling me up on this will remind you the same regarding DX and the SL2.

Any news on the fate of the EMC’s after today? Are they continuing in service tomorrow or are they being removed from the 312, seeing as ENL65 has moved into TC? ENX31 and ENX32 haven’t been used today, they could well be TC bound. Presumably the end of the EMC's? The 312 has diesels throughout the day now anyway.

I know my in person observations are always doubted but I know what I see in my daily commute. Seen as you pulling me up on this will remind you the same regarding DX and the SL2. The operator on the 300 is controlling the route, as they should be doing, ensuring that gaps remain even throughout, unlike the display Arriva provide in this part of London. Docklands Buses have notably topped the league tables too. You won't need to worry about me and the SL2, I'm thousands of miles away in a city that has a far nicer transport network than London with equal emphasis on ensuring private motor travel is accommodated for, ensuring good public transport provision and also ensuring cabs charge decent rates and are plentiful so people always have a plethora of choice. But I'm going off topic for what is actually an Arriva thread I will ride the SL2 once I'm back alongside the 325. But one thing is for sure, I'm very glad I don't have much use for the 312!

I like vehicles. Buses, trains, cars, all of them.

EMC5 is attatched to a tow truck in East Croydon right now. Not the most glamorous last day

I highly doubt they will just withdraw them. If they're suitable for other routes it wouldn't make sense for them to withdraw them from the 312

If they're suitable for other routes it wouldn't make sense for them to withdraw them from the 312 They’re being withdrawn from the 312 because of the increased PVR. They could always be allocated to another route that has a lower PVR.

They could always be allocated to another route that has a lower PVR. They are being withdrawn from the 312 because they reportedly aren’t suitable for the extension. Nothing to do with the PVR increase.
