VP549 was out on the 460 again earlier today but just for a couple of hours. And out again this afternoon. VP534 is also out now - looks like they are not yet over. VP614 is apparently scheduled for withdrawal around Christmas - Wouldn't be surprised if the others were withdrawn then or during the new year.

The demise of LDP194 means need a new oldest bus (ELV6 finished in July on TfL work) I am guessing WVL111 or Sullivan’s TPL 926, 927 (all 03-reg) WVL111 takes the flag here, being 2 months older then TPL926/927 - Which were registered in May 2003, opposed to WVL in March 2003. Thanks Wonder how much longer these will survive, There are very few 2003-2006 buses left (from memory about 30)

E38-39 should survive until the 405 goes to Arriva mid next year whilst the two TPL's are emissions floats whilst the DS's are upgraded.
