Something that you'll never see on route 202! Metrobus ADL Enviro 200 192 (YY13VKS) is seen in Whyteleafe South blinded for route 202 to Blackheath Royal Standard.
Special thanks to the driver, who I knew from my work experience at Croydon Garage for being kind enough to let me change the blinds whilst we were on the stand

After 19 years of operation by Metrobus, route 64 passes to Arriva London from Thornton Heath using Alexander Enviro400s formerly based at Tottenham. Location is Salcot Crescent, near the terminus of the tram at New Addington.
Metrobus Volvo B9TL/Wright Gemini 2 WVL343 (LX59DFC) is seen at Heathrow Central Bus Station on route X26
Metrobus's only ECW bodied Leyland Olympian, C395DML, sits alongside modern fleet member 6018, BU14EHL, a Wright Eclipse bodied Volvo B7RLE. Both look resplendent in the sun at 2022's South East Bus Festival at the Detling Showground, Kent.
6018 has only recently entered standard fleet livery, having been a member of the Fastway fleet since it was new in 2014. A new fleet of hydrogen single deckers is on order to take up service on the Fastway soon and this fleet Volvos will move to local services and replace ageing Scania OmniCitys.
It was a 2015 decision to bring yellow back to the fleet livery, reminiscing the yellow and blue liveries of old, as seen on the Olympian. The two shades of blue on the new livery are impeccable.
2000 Orion V, seen here en route to Anacostia's Metro station to serve as the shuttle to the Shepherd Parkway garage. Currently being phased out.

Metrobus Mercedes Benz Citaro MEC53 (BF65HUK) is seen inside Orpington Garage blinded for route 293 to Epsom Hospital.
The MEC's based at Orpington only have blinds for routes 293 and 358, which seems rather strange as route 293 was based at Croydon and no MEC's have ever been out on the route while it was with them, even though MEC’s could be used on the R9 and potentially the 126 those routes were not included on the blinds, nor were any double deck routes. They are due to receive new blinds in due course that will include route 227, one of Orpington's new acquisitions as well as routes 126 and R9 hopefully!
The bus that just refuses to be withdrawn!
Can't be too long left for this bus in service. Metrobus Dennis Dart SLF/Plaxton Pointer 214 (SN03WMG) is seen in Purley on route 359
Shortly after the Driver Training Metrobuses returned from their spell in the Travel London fleet, some are seen parked-up at Miller Street garage in Aston on 26/08/2008.
L-R are: D928NDA, D959NDA (not used in London), D948NDA and D942NDA.
Still going for another 3 months! Metrobus Dennis Dart SLF 219 (SN03WMY) is seen inside Croydon Garage awaiting attention. Unlike the rest of the 130 Darts, which were sold, 219 and sister 214 are remaining at Croydon for another 3 months as logistical spares but will be withdrawn in March 2018
First time I've had one of these on the 359! Metrobus ADL Enviro 200 SE168 (YX61EKG) is seen deputising for an MCV on route 359 in Purley. None of 713/718/721 were out on the road on this day...seems as if the MCV's are rather unreliable. Wouldn't be suprised if they are replaced before the end of the 359 contract.
Back in May 1987 I visited north Kent for the day where I photographed Maidstone & District MCW Metrobus 5266 FKM266V at their Luton (Chatham) depot.
Croydon's school bus, off school duties.
Metrobus Volvo B9TL/Wright Gemini 2 WVN20 (LK59FDN) is seen in Purley on route 127. This bus is allocated to route 663, however its duties today were taken up by EH343.

Metrobus ADL Enviro 200 192 (YY13VKS) is seen in a snowy Kenley on route 434. Believe this is the first time these mini E200's have ever experienced major snowfall
