The VLW's weren't new for the 275, they were shifted over from another garage as initially, the 275 was expecting brand new VLA's which was then cancelled as Arriva decided to put the new VLAs on to the 123. I think the VLWs were around 2 years old by the time the 275 got them.

It was given to the 20 prior to being with 275 as 20 was originally at Barking, when the 20 transferred to EC, thats when the DLAs got introduced and the ex 20 VLWS got diverted to the 275

Yes VLA74-103 were ordered for 123 and 275, but for standardisation the whole batch went to AR. I believe the "275" VLAs were on paper allocated to the 76, but in practice were just pooled with VLWs across AR routes.
This meant that the 275 gained VLWs to match those already at DX for the 20. However a few months later DX gained the 128 with new VLAs anyway; then in 2007 the 20 moved out, leaving the 275 as the only VLW route at DX, so the standardisation didn't quite work out!

Before all of that, they had brand new Volvo Citybuses for the 173, DAF/Ikarus single decks, Scania N112s and Leyland Lynxs I wouldn't say DX is a dumping ground, just like GY, it's how the tender awards have been achieved- they were able to win/retain routes based on existing vehicles displaced from elsewhere. Speaking of GY, were the Enviro 200s for the 370 the last new buses delivered to Grays?

Brand new E200s for the 66 when they gained the route back from Blue Triangle.

I've never known Edmonton get new buses. According to the papers ![](https://i.postimg.cc/1Xrfr7RN/disgraced.jpg) they're even bringing older stuff back ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png)

2 TMPs on the 64, I think one of them was already identified as ES157
