Route 59 was successfully awarded to our Stockwell Depot using the new Alexander Dennis Enviro 400 TEL that the company has invested in. These new buses will allow more seats for customers, environment friendly buses and a new Public Information System. Route was taken from Dart Buses TFL Depot at AK.
Route 60 was reawarded to our Thorton Heath Depot using exisitng Optare Spectra buses. No major changes to this route was put forwarded. This is an unique route for us as it the route only that is using the Optare Spectra buses. The company never really invested in the Optare fleet for double deckers operations, preferablly using Wright buses until the new Alexander Dennis Enviro buses came available. Still the buses are doing well and this year an additional one was brough to allow for increase in PVR.
Route 61 was successfully awarded to our main depot at Oprington. This was a great achievement by the company as it taken from one of our main rivals in the area South London Buses and taken from their nearby depot at Bromley. The buses that were to be used was existing stock Alexander Dennis ALX400 TAL which saw an increase in the number of seats available to our customers.
Route 62 was our disappointment this round, a route that went near our Barking depot was awarded to Stagecoach London North East who are replacing the single deckers with Double deckers and extended the route. We thought the Scania Single deckers were still a good choice for this route. However competition is hard in the North East London. We like to thank our customers for their service over the past year.
