Just drove past Tolworth bus garage, there seem to be a lot of Routemasters
parked there.

this is one of the place where redundant vehicles are being stored.
There are others at Tottenham Marshes which Arriva use as a store. The
ex route 73 buses went here until such as Ensigns and others were ready
to sell them on. I imagine a similar process will happen with the route
159 vehicles in a couple of weeks time.

Those London operators who want to keep a small "commercial" fleet have
done so - First, Stagecoach, London United, Go Ahead. Arriva are putting
their's together now.
