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

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.

Does that mean that some RMLs will remain in London service then? I've
yet to see one on the heritage routes and even the 159 seems to have a
good few RMs now.
