DP 92 & DP 96 were on a special non stop Tower Hill to Sutton Police Station service on the 7th September. What was the occasion?

Sullivan buses have announced their gain of the 699/692 on their website, apparently using 4 buses. I'm assuming this is a typo, but if anyone knows something I don't, I'd be please to hear about it.
On a separate note, just info that DN3 and DN4 have just left the fleet, whether to the scrapyard or another company I don't know.

Certainly not a typo, Dean himself has stated he will be purchasing 4 buses which are rumoured to be from Metroline.

I presume if the vehicles are from Metroline, they'll be Presidents in some form.

Ahh I see what you mean now. They already have school routes that they are used - if they could be interworked with each other, then I'd guess there wouldn't be a need to purchase extra buses.

My guess however would be that four or five of VP512-580 will be sold to Sullivan's

No MMCs for the 699 for now!

I thought had to be at least euro IV (or Euro V for Central Zone) at start of contract, but willing to be corrected

Not sure if you know that the VWs are awful Buses and will be next to bite the dust. They'll all be gone by the end of this year.

I thought had to be at least euro IV (or Euro V for Central Zone) at start of contract, but willing to be corrected I don't think it should be too much of an issue, given that there are only three buses being used on three return journeys five days a week only. They could also use the B9TLs against the 692/699 contract and use the older B7TLs on other routes. Bandit Triangle took on a number of Romford schools routes with ten year old Euro II B7TLs in 2010.

They took on a lot more later on when they got the First routes and are still struggling to run them even when the buses are working...
