Delaine Buses, Bourne, Lincolnshire usually puts two new buses a year into service on or around the date of the registration changes in March and September. However they have recently acquired three former Abellio London Alexander Dennis Enviro400:
171 - LJ09 CCN (ex-Abellio 9445) 172 - LJ09 CCO (ex-Abellio 9448) 173 - LJ09 CCF (ex-Abellio 9443)

Former demo HW100 is now with Weardale, looks very smart. It has also had a diesel conversion. Any further details on the engine size and specs?

Former Metrobus 708 is now with Pogbus Preservation Society. This was one of only three Enviro200s within the fleet spec'd on the MAN 14.240 chassis. Good buses though sadly I think 708 is the sole survivor Actually quite the opposite - That makes all 3 preserved, 706/707 I have down on my list as being preserved by The South London Preservation Society - Unless they've been moved on and I haven't noticed. Metrobus has done quite well in having its fleet preserved generally: 122 | V356DLH | Dennis Dart SLF
| Marshall Capital | B25F | Roundabout Bus Preservation | Preserved | 228 | PO56JEU | Dennis Dart SLF | East Lancs Esteem | B24F | Bromley Bus Preservation | Preserved | 253 | SN54GPY | Dennis Dart SLF | Plaxton MPD | B29F | Bromley Bus Preservation
| Preserved | 315 | T315SMV | Dennis Dart SLF | Plaxton MPD | B29F | Privately Owned | Preserved | 317 | W317VGX | Dennis Dart SLF | Plaxton MPD | B29F | South London Preservation Society | Preserved | 344 | X344YGU | Dennis Dart SLF | Plaxton MPD | B29F | Bromley Bus Preservation | Preserved | 411 | T411SMV | Dennis Trident | East Lancs Lolyne | H45/24D | Bromley Bus Preservation | Preserved | 521 | YN53RXO | Scania CN94UB | Omnicity | B37D | Bromley Bus Preservation | Preserved | 561 | YN08OAS | Scania CN94UB | Omnicity | B33D | South London Preservation Society | Preserved | 706 | YX58DXB | MAN 18.310 | Enviro 200 | B34D | South London Preservation Society | Preserved | 707 | YX58DXC | MAN 18.310 | Enviro 200 | B34D | South London Preservation Society | Preserved | 708 | YX58DXD | MAN 18.310 | Enviro 200 | B34D | Pogbus Preservation Society | Preserved |
Generally all that's missing is an Omnidekka (Which loads are still floating around from them) and an MCV Evolution, of which the remaining ones of the Metrobus batch are all in New Zealand or Cyprus, a Scania Esteem (Which again a load are still floating around) and an Olympus, which every single one of that batch is in use somewhere or another.

Should really be ED1 though if they are going proper first service vintage Travel London. I wouldn't rule out that possibility, perhaps during further preservation work. A reliable source has said she will keep the 9401 ident despite the acknowledgement of ED1.

Not entirely sure if the South London Bus Preservation Society still exists, they’ve deleted their Facebook page and I’ve not seen anything from them or their buses for a while.
