Can’t find the WVLs on LVF. Have they been withdrawn from TfL use? Apologies if I missed an earlier post regarding this

Have Sullivan's ELVs and TPLs now been withdrawn (or at least from TFL services)? Are the 57reg WVLs now used for non-TFL services only (since the 692/699 loss)?

The ELV's & TPL's had been moved to the provincial fleet but when the school extras started, they moved back into the TfL fleet to run on extras only - some of the provincial fleet is to be withdrawn in any case and replaced by some of the older Enviro 400's that were for extras. I've read or heard nothing about the status of the WVL's but I wouldn't rule that happening given a couple of Scanias was also made spare.

Though Sullivan Busses is a small nice operater, why is it that I keep on seeing most of there AEs poorly maintained with often seeing broken blinds and sometimes the ibus system is not working?

Is it the operator or Trapeze who are in charge of fixing any iBus issues? Sullivans Buses are a small company so they probably do not have many full time staff available to fix buses, and parts may take longer or cost more as they can't really be ordered in bulk like larger operators who can keep many spare stock

But AE's as an example are used on both TfL & non-TfL services so there shouldn't be much of a difference?

The provincial ones don't have blind issues I assumed "poorly maintained" as in general issues on both buses such as the mechanical aspect of the vehicles, with blinds, ticket machine, livery and iBus being the only differences?

Few questions about Sullivan's fleet.
First off, are the Enviros in the fleet (so 58-64) permanent and if so, will they replace anything? I wonder whether those 7 + the 3 WVLs will swipe out 5 early ELVs, DEL1 (which isn't DDA compliant) & the remaining WVL5, WVL8-10.
Second off what are the plans for the 355 & B77 when they run into the LEZ? Perhaps WVL2-4 from the current London fleet move there.

As far as I know, DEL1 should be DDA compliant, pretty sure everything bar minibuses is DDA post Y reg IIRC. Also, as far as I know, E58-64 are permanent and will replace older vehicles on non TfL work once the extras finish - not sure what will be replaced but I believe the two TPL's, the oldest ELV's & WVL's plus ALX6 could possibly be the casualties.
