 Arriva London Alexander ALX400 bodied DAF DB250 DLA306 (Y506UGC) heads south on the A12 from the Olympic Park. It is one of several vehicles prepared for transfer to provincial fleets after the 2012 Olympics, already in Arriva blue and converted to single door entry. Conversion also includes the fitting of electronic destination displays. It remains a puzzle as to why these are not used in London, the possibilities when linked to the "i-bus" system are too good to miss. |
 Sister vehicle DLA309 (Y509UGC) approaches the Olympic Park entrance on the A12. It actually has an active blind displaying "On hire to LOCOG". |
 Due to head north after the Olympics was former VLW9 (LJ51DFO) a Volvo B7TL Wright Eclipse Gemini where it would find itself at home with similar machines new to the former Fox division. The bus is seen on the A12 heading south and already has its new home's fleet number, 4017. |
 What was VLW20 (LJ51DGV) is seen leaving the Olympic Park followed by a DW-class VDL, which will remain in London. Like VLW9 the bus has lost its centre doors and gained electronic blinds. Its new fleet number is partially obscured by blue security tape, but the bus it was destined to become Arriva Midlands 4028. |
 Arriva Midlands 4027 used to be VLW19 (LJ51DGU). It was one of the London 2012 Olympic Shuttle buses and it age has been disguised by Irish registration UUI2953 which goes with new fleet number 4027.
