A batch of 55-reg Volvo B7TLs has been cascaded to the North East and upgraded to Arriva Max specification but I'm not sure if anything else has moved from Arriva London to another provincial division this year

As for what bus types could move to the North West from London in the future there's still some DWs (53/04/54-reg), VLAs (03/53/04/54/05/55-reg) and VLWs (52/03/53-reg) operating in London at the moment that will be available for cascade in the next couple of years or so

London route 221 is due to lose its VLWs dating from 2003 in favour of 2010 Enviro 400s from route 133 and 2009 Gemini integrals from route 242 between November and February. These could replace older examples in Merseyside. Route 242 also has some older VLWs, but there may be little point refurbishing these for provincial services.
