Enviro 400s SN09CDY/CEF/CEX/CFM, LK55KJX were all put into fleet temporarily for the emergency Barking-Walthamstow Gospel oak-Barking rail replacement service in January and February.
The whole operational and vintage fleet has been delicenced with the exception of :
23 x Volvo B9TLs.
6 x Enviro 200 MMCs.
12 x BCI 2 axles.
An emergency timetable for Thurrock services has been introduced and in addition we are now operating 14 buses a day for Amazon; rail replacement for Transport for London and c2c is also continuing.
That’s it for now, not sure when the next one will be as most bus companies at present have yards full of buses they do not need.
Please stay safe and stay at home!
