Surely, not all of SE1-20 haven't been used in the last week? The original post isn't referring just every pre 57 reg vehicle in general Only SE20 not out to play... SE4 broken down today.

He said he isn't including buses not used in the last week - That bus hasn't been used for 4 months since November 2019! Also to add: GAL SEN38 (07 reg) [originally from the same batch as the UNO example] and of course all of GAL SE1-20 Sorry, I completely forgot SE1-20 and Arriva ENL and ENS and have now added them Rather more buses than I thought will be 13 years old in October when London wide ULEZ starts, but presumably most of them will have gone by then.

None of the remaining Abbelio darts or the remaining VLAs have run today is this the end or is this just the typical Sunday?

To be fair it's only been a day since 8037 was out on the road so hopefully that one will still make an appearance but 8024 on the other hand may be a different story as that's not run since late February. *Non bus related news* But after just short of 50 years of service Qantas have retired their 747s early so hopefully we don't see this with the older buses but let's wait and see. I guess 8024 could actually stay and be loaned to RATP if the new buses for the route don't arrive on time but that's me being optimistic.

No. I wouldn't be surprised if they're temporarily decommissioned until the full timetable is restored, unfortunately if the lockdown lasts until June then I can't see the K1's Darts re-entering service. I'll be surprised if it gets to that though

It's happening in Hong Kong with older Volvo Super Olympians and could well happen here

I'll be surprised if it gets to that though The K1 has Darts on the route now. Hope they come to the H26 before they go forever - to get a little ride after lockdown.

Despite the Coronavirus service cuts which have inevitably targeted older buses, I have still seen 9410 (QB) and 9419 (GW) out and about on LVF, which are Abellio's oldest double deckers. Must be some other 56 reg Enviro 400s that still make it out from time to time

If so the last London pointer style Darts faded out quietly.

This would still mean that we had Darts in regular London service for 30 years, as the first ones entered service on route R70 in April 1990.
