Metroline SEL759 on route 79 in Edgware
Route 79 was created as route 79A in 1952 and ran from Edgware to Perivale with peak journeys extended to Northolt Airport.
A few amendments through the years it was re-numbered to route 79 in 1987 and awaded to London Buslines. At that time, as now, it operated from Edgware to Alperton.
Metroline took the contract from First in 2011 (that would have happened in 2013 even if the tender had remained at Alperton with First.)
It runs with a mix of VW class Volvo B9TL's and East Lancs Olympus bodied Scania N230UD's although I only saw Scanias on the day I passed through.
