We have always had batch after batch sent up since Arriva took over, but with these withdrawals there will be no ex London stuff in service anymore, leaving lots of depots short on deckers, even if they were only for use on schools or peaks or rail reps, which will impact on normal depot allocation like happened in the most recent Lime Street replacements

I doubt there will be many if any ex-London buses being cascaded soon. VLWs are being sold while Gemini integrals are being redeployed for other tender gains such as routes 99, 103, 175 & 269.

The only possibility I can think of are some VLAs of 2005 vintage being released recently from route 370 and in January from route 142.
