Yes, 3 have arrived today and 2 more will be here by tomorrow afternoon. I am not sure which fleet numbers they are yet because I am not in work this weekend. the rest will arrive in the next week or so.

Just a quick thank you to everybody that has replied and commented on the Arriva DLAs thread. They have started to arrive today in Manchester after driving up from London. I will be picking one up tomorrow and next week we will start to prep them for service. No news on what the color scheme will be, we can't make up our minds! Some of them will probably be fully converted to single door operation whilst others may just have the middle doors immobilised and used as a luggage hold. Destination wise, I am trying to get hold of some second hand LEDs but blinds could be an option. If anybody wants updates on these vehicles, please don't hesitate to contact me. Regards Which DLA's were the first to come. I would be interested to see them after they arrive at your garage.

I will let you know later today when I know myself. My batch of ten (DLA357-366)have all been taken off the road and are just waiting for delivery.
From what I believe, there is a batch of 55plate Scania double deckers next in line to be withdrawn from London and also a batch 59 plate Scania deckers which are coming to the end of lease with Stagecoach.

Front LEDs on DLA364.
The middle doors have been disabled and the area made in to luggage space.
We will probably get some converted properly over the summer.

Although Arriva have recently withdrawn DLAs off route 34, even allowing for those that switched to route 125 at EC, I rode one on 28.9.13 that was (apart from LT2) my first ride on a bus with white-on-black blinds this time around!
