Refurbished DW's at Brixton ( BN ) and South Croydon ( TC )
As some of us may know, Arriva London lost Route 19 in March to London General. This left 32 relatively new DW's spare. Now Route 197 was retained by Arriva last year so they decided to use these on Route 197. However, before they started on Route 197, they were refurbished and used on London 2012 shuttles around East London. Just over a week ago I saw a refurbsished DW on 264( no picture sorry ) and I then saw examples on Route's 60, 109, 194, 197, 264 and also the 403. I did not know they were going to BN and it was a surprise when I saw DW118 on the 109. I dont even know what Route they are mainly for but I've only so far seen them on the 109. I've also uploaded some pictures of when they were at BN before for the 19. I hope you enjoy reading this post.
The ones at BN are for route 159 whilst 16-ish of their VLAs have been pulled out of service to go to GR for route 142.
