It's things like this I'd wish I had a licence. Not keen on the white though.

Some of the OmniCities that used to be based at Plumstead (e.g. 15061 and 15092) have since moved to operate with Stagecoach in the Fens and operate on Cambridge Route 1.

VNL32206/32213 were withdrawn last night, the last Barbie bus now in the First Eastern Counties fleet is 32210. It’s rather worrying that this now leaves exactly 20 barbie liveried buses in the FirstBus Fleet

Looks like Redbridge Transport livery It was although purchased through Ensignbus a few months ago by the current operator.
Just out of interest, likewise with London Borough of Havering buses, what do Redbridge Transport do?

Got a now very rare bit of Euro_2 Dennis Dart action yesterday in the form of ex GAL Y844TGH (LDP144) now with Vale Travel. Was in Watford and wanted to head over to Hemel Hempstead, was trying to get the Arrival 500 but for some reason didn’t show up, was about to change my plans when I saw this pull up on a 352 service behind a Sullivan’s ELV. So I thought I’d chance it, Always though they were a bit of a ropey operator, I’ve seen Vale’s buses in and around the likes of High Wycombe and Chesham and their usual drivers uniform consists of the drivers favourite football club and a pair of tracksuit bottoms! Anyway I got on, asked the driver if he accepted the Interlink Explorer ticket, to which he replied ‘There’s so many ticket types, I got no idea, but take a seat’ Boy, I wasn’t disappointed, he ragged the absolute @rse out of the old girl, with one arm resting on the frame where the assault screen once was and his left foot resting in the cubby hole underneath the ETM, we were jumping over speed bumps in the Watford area and tearing along narrow country lanes constantly clipping the near side wing mirror on hedgerows between Sarratt and Bovingdon! At times, I did have to hold on but to the other passengers, this was obviously the usual practice! All good fun in all, one of those journeys that reignites my interest in this waning hobby of mine! Was nice to be back on a euro_2 Dart again and getting to hear all the usual characteristics that comes with the AT545 box, especially one getting a good hiding! flic.kr/p/2ncV1YP - Not my photo but was taken on the next journey after the one I had Incidentally, the 352 is quite a nice route, would recommend trying it out if anyone’s in the Watford/Hemel area’s.

They provide services for the general community, owned by the council. Same livery as rubbish trucks etc. They also do school trips etc. At weekends they are subcontractors on rail replacement jobs

Plymouth CityBus is withdrawing the last of its former Go-Ahead London PVLs (Volvo B7TL-Plaxton President). 442 (Y814 TGH) was withdrawn recently, leaving just 433 (X501 EGK) in service - this is expected to be withdrawn after service today (Friday 8th April) as Plymouth school holidays commence next week.
The type is not yet extinct in Devon though as Rail-River Link still has a handful for its seasonal service between Paignton and Totnes (Steamer Quay). This service recommenced on 2nd April and will run until the end of October.
Plymoyth CityBus still has some ex-London Plaxton Pointer-bodied Dennis Darts in service, and a number of ex-London Enviro400s are also operating in Plymouth with a few more due to arrive.
