Oh the 19 had VLAs did the route have them from new? They were used very briefly when new but weren’t actually for the route and were for the 249 & 432 Was the 19 at AR at the time or was the VLAs on loan from N?

Wasn’t the D3 restricted to 10.2m buses at that time as the 276’s ALX200’s were 10.7m? I remember seeing ALX200s on the D3 but not sure if they were 10.7 I thought it may have been the 9.4m models of the ALX200 run on the D3.

I think the longest duration of Metrobus operation was on route 267, from 1979 to 2001.
Likewise the longest Titan duration was route 87, then Barking - Romford and for a while a longer route, from 1980 to 2001.
