From the BUSES Magazine:
Former GAL:
Driver Trainers ELS5-7/11 have passed to one of the Anglian Fleets
PVL293 was actually acquired for by Go Coach back in 2016 however ended up being done up for service
LDP134 apparently scrapped some time ago by Southdown PSV
Former Metroline:
VPL175/182/183/191-193/201 have been withdrawn by London City Tours, with at least 201 going for scrap
VP337 has finally departed for Dawsons Rentals, 2 years after withdrawal
Former LU:
DPS30686/30727 apparently scrapped by the company (Although DPS30686 was reported as a trainer by someone on here, and DPS30727 is still in service, so not sure that the buses mag has got this correct)
TD40673 (DPS627) also apparently scrapped

I remember getting a few rides on them on the 345 when they were working alongside the newly introduced double deck workings. They all eventually moved to AL and roamed onto every route - don't think I managed to ride one whilst at AL. |

I think they operated school bus routes in London. It is an East Lancs bodied Dennis Arrow. Think has been with Rodgers,Weldon near Corby since leaving London Traveller about 2000ish. |

Would be nice if PVL347 survived somewhere, as it was the last NX PVL I personally rode, and on the 171 to boot. I enjoyed many a PVL ride on that route back in the day. |

As stated on another forum these ex GAL WVLs have been acquired by Tyrers, these are:
WVL388-390/394/395/398/400-408
Apparently with more things to follow, looks like Tyrers may be having a big fleet upgrade here.

Two ex-Abellio single deckers parked up opposite Ford garage in Staines. One was 8752 and not sure on the other. Both still with blinds and decals. Wonder who owns them now.
