Today Arriva won the 67 off First (latterly Go Ahead as they purchased NP) but was with Stagecoach from 2001 til 2006 using Trident/ALX400 and good old Volvo Olympians. However in 2006 the route was lost to First using Tridents from route 258. The next lot of activity was in 2012 when Go Ahead bought NP and rebranded the buses with new fleetnumbers and logos. They decided to convert it to B7TL/President however this was alongside B9TL/Gemini and Trident2/Enviro. On the 19th July 2012 Arriva announced they had won Route 67 at the expense of Go Ahead. They was late announcing what garage and buses were to be used but it was confirmed in February 2013 that VDL DB300/Gemini would be used, some from route 29. Today we found that the allocation was split between Stamford Hill and Tottenham. Today the allocation was HV's and DW's, it was supposed to get new ones, but none were available today. I hope you enjoy reading this post.
Nice post as always.
