* Fleet PVR - uses a bus crosslinked from route 405D.
** Fleet PVR - double deck bus used in AM peak is crosslinked from route 252.

All contracts are awarded as specified, including introduction of a Sunday service on route 434, and will use conventional diesel engined vehicles.

The existing double decks to be used on routes 60 and 466 will be the current allocation of 2008 built vehicles. Route 166 will use the current allocation of 2008 built 57 capacity single decks. Routes 412 and 612 will initially use 2003 built double decks, to be replaced during 2015 by vehicles dating from 2008 or later cascaded from other routes.

Route 293 will continue to use the current allocation of seven 2008 built single decks and one 2009 built double deck.

The existing double decks to be used on routes 179 and 252 will be 2008 built vehicles currently allocated to route 106.

Ouch! 45-bus's work lost.

First did want to sell Dagenham to Stagecoach but could not agree a price. Maybe they are willing to close DM by stealth. I think First are keen to keep Lea Interchange as it serves Olympic Park and runs central London routes. Indeed, LI has just wo route 425 from Go-Ahead London.

You say Arriva route 60 will use buses from 2008. Will these be E400s from route 102, displaced by DWs off route 29?
