 ALso seen that day in August 2014 was another President bodied B7TL, but in the latest livery and from a different source. Volvo Y173NLK was new to Metroline as VPL173. Picture ref A4106 |

 In November 2014 Whippets was bought by Australian Transit Systems, who had already set up operations in London as Tower Transit running former First London operations. Besides another new livery, this also brought in a fleet numbering system and a ready source of secondhand buses. Seen in Drummer Street Bus Station in July 2017 is Wright Eclipse Gemini bodied Volvo B7TL WD443 (LK04HZD), originally First London 32374.
