This may or may not have already been asked before but does anyone know if any of the SK02 DPS’s which did the H9/H10 are still alive or have they all been scrapped? You can always try and enter the registrations in Government MOT check website I tried one SK02XHD (DP629) and it expired in 2017, so you just need to do all the others Didn’t know about that! Will give it a try when I get home.

Do you that Wrightbus and Volvo will ever work again? Probably not, if I remember correctly when Wrightbus went into administration they owed Volvo vast amounts, might have been millions. Some of the part built buses with Volvo chassis were later finished off by the new Wrightbus but Volvo didn’t get fully paid back when these newly built buses were sold. What new Wrightbus did was legal as they were a new entity and bought the assets from the administrator, but Volvo probably thought they had been screwed

Do you that Wrightbus and Volvo will ever work again? Depends if their customers are happy with MCV or not? If sales don't suffer probably not, if sales suffer due to only offering MCV bodywork, sure Volvo would consider their options again.

Is there an official reason why bus lanes are no longer a different tarmac colour to the rest of the road?

Is there some way to find a list of routes with the longest scheduled running times and a list of the longest operating non-24 hour routes (such as the 118)? A top 10 perhaps.
I saw a list of the former but it was many years ago.

I saw a list of the former but it was many years ago. If I’m not mistaken I believe the 154 is amongst the earliest and latest running non-24 hour routes. From Croydon the first journey is 0425 and the last departure is 0200. It is consistently the last running route on Christmas Eve.
