London Central / General WVN32 (BV10 WVE) on route 363 at Bricklayer's Arms

A recent transfer from Northumberland Park is this Volvo B9TL originally bought by First. This bus was allocated to route 259 until it was lost to Arriva in March.

 

I was glad to see it has a full set of blinds; a white set with the newer style font. I was hoping they'd be a dayglo set, but oh well.

 

I believe most of these WVNs are destined to be used on the 131 once it transfers to London General later this year.

 

For whatever reason it was common for First to use N in their type codes: DN, TN, VNW, etc. I've never been able to figure out what exactly it stands for. Likewise the ex-First Go-Ahead buses are coded in the same fashion.

 

NP also have ex-Peckham WVL333, which I suppose they could have sent back had it been free, but of course that wouldn't be as interesting, now would it?
