Am I right in thinking when the 67 transferred to NP not all the LTs from Arriva moved with the route? I know around that time some buses moved from Q to NP. Did Arriva keep some LTs for elsewhere?

They are the fastest things I've ever seen on Wimbledon Hill... That's the section of route I'm most interested in riding along. I'm also hoping that in time¹ at least one escapes to the 152 and/or 164 for a good thrash along the relevant sections up to 40mph. ¹ - how long's a piece of string on that? I tried to get one in Wimbledon this evening but wherever I was waiting, they were coming in the opposite direction so gave up. Will be interesting thou if we see anymore for Go Ahead and how well they perform on the 200.

I remember 1 or 2 buses moved from SW to NP as well so guessing Arriva did hold buses back when the route moved.

WVL311 hasn't been seen since the 18th May is of the road at the minute.

I believe the 67 only partially converted under Arriva with it receiving the remaining LT's when it switched to Go-Ahead. LT172-173, LT186 & LT231-236 came with the 67 whilst LT458-459, LT512 & LT687 came from other Go-Ahead garages.

Thanks, interesting as I thought SF became 100% LT for a short time before closing but guess the 67 keep a few HVs before moving to GAL.

I guess that GAL won’t have to borrow RTP’s MCLs for the 413 now that the 200 has gained it’s Electrics and the 80 is getting the WHVs.

No fire extinguisher at the top of the stairs on the Me's? The TT ones do...
