LDP194 is officially the oldest bus in London with ELV6 being close behind it. The demise of LDP194 means need a new oldest bus (ELV6 finished in July on TfL work) I am guessing WVL111 or Sullivan’s TPL 926, 927 (all 03-reg) there's still LDP206 of which is a 51 reg

there's still LDP206 of which is a 51 reg ldp206 has finished it time In service. Same for LDP274. No more PP2 Darts from Go-Ahead....we only got those 3 MPDs from Abellilo left. TA642 & TA648 both finished in mid-Nov, leading to the extinction ALX400 Tridents in TfL fleet.

Seems like only VP614 remains in service within Metroline. The VPs on the 460 seem to have been withdrawn on the 4th, that’s when they were all last seen.

Whilst it looks bleak for ACs examples, they have been known to do this in the past and come back a week later. Though at this point I don't think any of the VPs will make it past 2019.

It was also said by TC that all older examples like that will be gone by the end of this year and the 4th Dec looks to be their end.

However, as already stated, the VP's have on multiple occasions been missing only to then suddenly return - best to just wait and see given we still have roughly three weeks to go for the hypothetical deadline especially as VP614 was to be withdrawn with the 140 change but is still running.

When is SLN 19000 due to be withdrawn I heard apparently its gonna go around late December If anything is going next it’ll be the Scanias with the 174 and 365s contract ending and E400s becoming free from the 174 which most likely will go to the 248 to finish its contract rather than upgrade its current Scanias to finish its contract. 19000 doesn’t make appearances that often it can go weeks without seeing service and then pop up again usually on the 252 but does appear from time to time on the 248 and the bus itself has not long again received a repaint not long before the start of the 252s contract in 2018.

VP549 was out on the 460 again earlier today but just for a couple of hours.
