Would I be right in assuming Sullivan's would have covered the DLR replacement had they still been a contractor for TfL? The reason I ask is the very varied mix on the service today includes Metroline, Go Ahead SI garage (Very rare), Havering, First Essex and Ensign. Go-Ahead also has quite a variety itself - this morning I saw buses from SI, DS, RR, BX and even an EHV from NP (glad to see it back in Canary Wharf again)! Plus few other E400s from the commercial fleet.

While spending time at Canary Wharf yesterday observing Go Ahead's DLR2 it was refreshing to see a controller who appeared to know what he was doing. He's communication with drivers and the public was observed to be very professional. A credit to Go Ahead.

There will probably be drivers on First/MTL/HCT/British Bus contracts ... but they are not mentioned. London Central, Blue Triangle, Docklands, and Metrobus(London) are non-entities these days.

Saw Arriva doing the DLR-1 few months ago and it was shocking...buses all followed different routings and picked up/dropped off at random bus stops in Canary Wharf. Even the controller was confused himself about where the right bus stops were!

This isn't true. All subsidiaries you mention exist separately on Companies House and still turn accounts every year. In a legal sense, 'Go-Ahead London' doesn't exist and cannot be found on Companies House.

In a legal sense, 'Go-Ahead London' doesn't exist and cannot be found on Companies House. They submit accounts as dormant companies Companys House states a dormant company as www.gov.uk/dormant-company"Your company or association may be ‘dormant’ if it’s not doing business (‘trading’) and doesn’t have any other income, for example investments." London General is the company for all of GAL. The bottom of their website confirms this. I have done debating this any more, so if want to carry on in your belief, happy for you to do so.

I believe so, most will be ex-W3/64 buses others sources elsewhere. Arriva London use agency on their big jobs, I suspect many will be ex-Sullivan drivers.
