Yes, the DWL’s in 2003 were the last new buses the 455’s received. I think that contract actually started in 2002 though and the DWL’s were delivered a year late It got new 52 plate PDLs in January 2003 then the DWLs later that year. The PDLs later moved to the new 382 route Which PDL’s were those?

What will happen to the 57 and 131 when the last set of Es get withdrawn because there are not enough EHVs WHVs WVNs WSDs or WVLs to replace them

Putney could take the 93 if they lose the 14 and 74.

I believe there's also a former London Wright Gemini/Pulsar with retrofitted front clusters. I was only thinking the other day about LTs modified this way.

There are many MCMs, some DLEs and even 11.m OVs that have logs on LVF but I don't see corresponding photos. The amount of MCMs suggests at least some to be genuine. SW also lost the 432 with PVR cuts on 11, 88 and 155 recently, total of these cuts+losses being a -36 PVR. SW has been quite hard hit over the past couple of years really. It's possible the 11 will stay there even if it moves on to the 507 contact with LTs. It is amazing when watching the SW documentary how of those routes are no longer there such as the 19, 24, 196, 249, 315, 322, 333, 432

What was the last PVL in London and what route(s) did it last go on? My farthest memory is of the AL ones in 2018

I think it looks quite interesting. Also it keeps an old bus on the road being retrofitted, and I maintain profusely it’s far better for the environment than throwing it away and replacing it with a new one which will do well to last barely 15 years. I have to be honest I thought it was a Hong Kong E500 bought here and converted for UK use 😂 but I like it 😂 And yes the G1 Pulsar that got converted to look like a G2 was done by Reading buses wasn’t it? They tend to do very thorough refurbishments when they acquire used stock
