| Details: Epsom Buses in transition. This photo captures two recent(ish) changes to the Epsom Buses fleet, namely the adoption of RATP-DEV group 5-digit fleetnumbers and the arrival of ADL Enviro 200 buses to replace some of the variety of Optare buses previously operated. Seen parked at the Epsom garage on 21st October 2018 were two of the Vauxhall Meriva cars used as crew ferries. KE15PVT on the left now carries its new fleetnumber of VM75035, while LB62KWZ on the right should be VM75032 but still displays its previous number of 10. The buses are a bit more complicated. Just visible on the right is a newly delivered Enviro 200 MMC bus, one of seven 11.5m examples ordered for the takeover of route 293 from Go-Ahead London on 1st September. Delivery of these was delayed and, as an interim measure, several Optare Tempos were loaned from the main London United fleet, two of which can be seen parked in the background. Curiously these were given Quality Line fleetnames, even though they were not expected to be needed for more than a couple of months. | ||
