By August 2021 the Alexander Dennis Enviro200 was making its presence felt in the fleet, albeit secondhand. Displayed at Buses Festival was WS345 (YX10BFK), which had been new as First London DML44148, however it reached the fleet after service with Metroline as DE1802. In 2018 Transit Systems released its hold on Whippet, the company passing to the Ascendal Group, a venture owned by Adam Leishman, the former CEO of Tower Transit and, at the time, CEO of Bravo Transport Services, the owner of New World First Bus and Citybus in Hong Kong.

Arriving on Park Street in Cambridge on the X3 in August 2021 is Enviro200 WS336 (MX59ZCL). Not a London refugee, this bus started life as T12GAJ with Leven Valley on Teeside, spent some time with City Sprinter in Glasgow and was acquired from Hulleys of Baslow.
