Now E61 has gone we’re now down to just UNO’s 605 C17UNO as the only 07-reg bus still in service, making it as the single oldest bus left in TfL service
(Old reg of 605 is SK07HLM, an old RATP bus)

Just a little bit too old 😂 they have got the ex-GAL StreetLite as a spare. One of their 15-reg E200s 604 is VOR at the moment so presumably the 07-reg E200 is covering for that. I have a feeling it’ll be withdrawn when 604 re-enters service again, so probably hasn’t got long left. On another note I make GAL’s LDP206 to be the longest/oldest surviving bus in TfL service of the 21st Century, at the age of 17 years and 10 months before being withdrawn. Far older than TfL’s 15 year old target. I don’t think we’ll be seeing another bus last that long again

And they still have most of their TfL stuff on them to my knowledge! (although I have only seen them once in 2022)

Maybe the 06-reg ones. Oh well.

Would of loved it to have been 207 as that had the Mercedes style whine in gear two

If I had more time I would do an update No worries, I had a bit of spare time so I've done an update to the list. Very few buses have been withdrawn recently so the list hasn't changed much: Abellio (Transport UK): 59-reg: 8524, 8526, 8528, 9519, 9521-23 Arriva London: 57-reg: EN13, 18, 20 08-reg: T43 09-reg: DW 201-221 ENX 20-27 HV 2, 3, 5 59-reg: DW190, 222-271 ENL52-54 T66-68, 71-74, 76-81 Go Ahead London: 09-reg: DOE38-44, 46-54 E110-126 MEC1-10, 12, 20, 30, 32, 34, 37, 50 SEN39-43 SOE2, 3, 6, 8, 10, 11, 14, 15, 17-19, 21, 29-35 59-reg: MEC27 WVL274-275, 292-294, 296, 333-344 WVN 2-9, 11-17, 20, 22-23, 26-30 Metroline: 08-reg: DE1586-1588, 1591 58-reg: DE874, 957, 960, 1600, 1604, 1610, 1614, 1618-1619, 1627-1628, 1630-1632, 1634-1636, 1638, 1641, 1643-1647 09-reg: DE993-999, 1004, 1010-1014, 1650-1652, 1655-1664 TE1742-1751 59-reg: DE1015-1028, 1030-1033 VW1034 RATP London: 58-reg: DE20020-20021 09-reg: SP40051 59-reg: DE20052-20053, 20055 Stagecoach London: 57-reg: 36037-36038 58-reg: 15001, 15036, 15039 36311-36313, 36325, 36326, 37551, 37553 09-reg: 15040, 15041, 15043, 15044, 15046, 15076, 15079, 15086, 15097-15104, 15105-15109, 15112, 15118, 15120 36338-36344 59-reg: 36345-36347, 36349-36354, 36356-36361, 36364, 36367, 36370-36375 47809-47810 Sullivan Buses: 58-reg: E63 09-reg: E40-42, 44 59-reg: DS51-52, 54

Arriva London's EN's 18 and 20 still seem to be around, despite more MMCs joining the 318 from Enfield. Seems to be more cameo appearances since EN37 moved over. Awaiting EN35 to move across soon, which will probably mean the end to their time in London. Get them whilst you can, Darts fans
