Tender losses of the 34 (PVR 22), 125 (13) and 192 (14) plus the changeover of 38 to LT (58) will probably see off the last of the DLAs still operating in London.

The 34 & 125 have been won by Metroline, the 34 goes as far east as Walthamstow which must be the furthest east that Metroline will have operated. The 192 has been won by Go Ahead.

Operation of the 34 and 125 will be from Potters Bar which means a lot of dead mileage.

Admittedly route 192 uses short Enviro200s but yes, most DLAs should be withdrawn together with the remaining DLPs. The DLAs on route 109 could stay there until it is lost to Abellio early next year.

I look forward to riding one. I may be able to ride one in the Autumn, now that I am postponing Barnet until Metroline take up route 34! I think routes 34 and 125 could use Euro-6 new-style Enviro400s.

A photo of LT235 carrying Arriva fleetnames has been post on Facebook (Borismaster fan page), LT237 has also been reported carrying Arriva fleetnames.

Yes, seen them. Either Wrightbus have put the wrong fleetnames on or plans have changed. The original info was from LOTS.

From the BBC pictures it was a NBFL (Borismaster).
