Almost the end for the PVLs
Go-Ahead London PVL405 (LX54GZT) on route 87 at Wandsworth on 18/06/2018
With Stockwell's new Enviro400 MMC hybrids delivered and entering service, the Volvo B7TL/Plaxton President has become almost extinct.
At one point, the fleet consisted of 419 examples making it at the time the most common type in the fleet.
By June 2018, just 18 examples were left, 15 at Stockwell for the 77 which are being replaced with new Enviro400s and three at Merton as general spares.
PVL405 is seen on the 87, one of three routes they still see service on until they are withdrawn.
*EDIT* - After PVL417 did the N87 on the night of the 22nd June, the PVLs at Stockwell were consigned to the history books. Now just a couple or so remain at Merton.
