Go Ahead London WSD22 is pictured outside Cromwell Road Bus Station, Kingston whilst working on Route 131
Ee90 LG72DRV seen at Figgs Marsh working on route 264 towards West Croydon.
Just over 3 months since Go-Ahead London took over the 264 from Arriva which had been using existing EH from New Cross, and earlier this week saw the new electric E400s entering service. The 119 will also have these sometime later.
These mark the first 72-plate buses in London.
Allocated to 319, EA3 makes an appearance on Route 333 this morning. Even though its not allocated, these buses work 133 almost everyday so usually only see them on 133 & 319. 333 today uses the only branded electric bus in the fleet.
2022 SK20AZL seen at Putney Bridge having worked on route 270 from Mitcham, Three Kings Pond.
Abellio had appropiately chosen fleet number 2022 as their Jubilee bus, which had only been working mostly on the 270 for its two years of entering service.
Rather easy to get it during the morning, traffic dependant and was able to tick it off with the pause of incoming traffic.
Go-Ahead London 948 (YN07EXG) on route 127 at Tooting Broadway on 15/08/2018
Normally used on route 405, these vehicles are part of the only batch of Scania N230UD/East Lancs OmniDekkas delivered for TfL work.
The 127 formerly used similar buses but with N94UD (Euro III) chassis but these left the fleet a couple years ago to renew and standardise the fleet. 948 is seen at the first stop at Tooting Broadway en route to Purley via Carshalton.
These are also likely to go in the not too distant future, as a similar fate has befallen the Optare Olympus examples at Orpington garage.

LTE Class K2 1240 is a leyland bodied Leyland. Just left Tooting Broadway, Garrett Lane, 12th July 1960
An old undated photograph of *London Transport (LT) tram No. 1212, and an unidentified trolleybus, in Garratt Lane, Tooting. No 1212 is showing a service 10 'Tooting Bdwy' destination blind, the only thing I can make out on the trolleybus is that it is on service 630.
No. 1212 was a class E/1 ex *London County Council Tramways (LCC) tram built in 1908 by Hurst Nelson seating 32/46 and running on Heenan & Froude maximum traction trucks, E/1 cars were equipped with both trolleypoles and truck mounted plough carriers to enable them to operate on conduit and overhead powered sections of the system. Sometime between 1926-30 it was 'pullmanised' which gave it a modernised interior and a new red/cream livery but cut the seating to 25/46, in Jun 1936 it underwent 'standard reconditioning' and received driver vestibule screens. It then remained in service until Jan 1952 when it was withdrawn from service and sent to Penhall Road Works to be disposed of (broken up or sold).
The LT trolleybus looks like (I think) a D3 class with a Leyland chassis and Birmingham Railway Carriage Co. body seating dd-70-r. It was built in approximate;y 1937 and would have been withdrawn in the late 1950's.
The parts of the London tramways system that had not already been withdrawn or transferred to trolleybus/bus operation closed in Jul 1952.
* The London Passenger Transport Board (LPTB) absorbed the local London tramway companies (such as LCC) in 1933 and in turn was replaced in 1948 by the London Transport Executive (LTE), from 1933 the usual operating name used was London Transport (LT).
Tram service 10 'Southwark Bridge to Clapham & Tooting' was replaced by bus route 95 in Jan 1951.

A postcard of Tooting High Street, at the junction with Garratt Lane, in South London. The postcard was published by Stengel & Co, London E.C. and has been partially colourised.
Trams fill the crowded High Street and The Round House pub can be seen in the background advertising 'celebrated Welch Ales.'
The postcard has a Tooting postmark dated February 19 1906. It looks like the sender of the postcard wrote the date the postcard was sent on the front, February 18 1906.
HV3 LJ09KOU seen at Elephant & Castle on route 333 towards Tooting Broadway.
Arriva loses routes 133/333 with the 133 going to Abellio/Transport UK whilst Go-Ahead London regains the 333 using MHVs at first before its batch of electric E400s arrives.
The early Volvo B5LH hybrids of HV1-HV6 (bar HV4) may have their days numbered otherwise only can usually be seen on route 50.
The 333 is coming to the end of its time with Arriva and their Brixton (BN) base. From 20th January next year, it will return to Go-Ahead's Stockwell (SW) base with new EVs. GAL previous ran the 333 using a mix of old E400 Tridents, PVLs and B7TL WVLs but it'll look completely different when they take over again.
The contract change has meant the future of the current allocation is uncertain. Rumours have persisted that these HAs will go to Thornton Heath and the HVs could go to Dartford or stay at Brixton for a different route. Time will tell.
For now, LK66HBN (HA43) is at Elephant & Castle/Newington Causeway beginning a run to Tooting Broadway via Stockwell and Streatham.
The 127 runs many different bus types, mostly diesels with a small dose of hybrids but this is one of the newer conventional diesels; this one being the last of the WVL-series. These two buses can be found on the 119, 127, even the X26 and on occasions, the 403.
Pulling away, these buses do sound a lot like the hybrid equivalent but obviously, without the battery pack. The 127 is a very enjoyable route with plenty of greenery and uphill climbs around Beddington Corner and the final section towards the terminus.
BF63HDG (WVL510) is at Mitcham Fair Green on its way to Purley via Mitcham and Wallington. Based at Croydon (C) Garage.
As of its return on the 24th July, WVL204 is currently the oldest running London bus, operated from GAL Croydon on the Metrobus route 127 from Purley to Tooting Broadway.
Beside it is WHV27 on the 131 from Tooting Broadway to Kingston.
After trying yesterday to get a picture, only for a car to get in the way, I was lucky enough to get a decent picture here and Mitcham Fair Green.
