Metrobus has won the contract to continue to operate the 358 from September 2020, but using new electric buses. Has anyone seen any announcement as to what these new buses will be? I'm assuming Enviro 200s like the Red Arrows, but I've not seen any confirmation; it would make a change if they were Optare Versas or Metrocities. I also assume that they will not be available from day one.
Likewise, I've seen on the London Omnibus Traction Society's web site (
http://www.lots.org.uk/) that the 200, won by Go-Ahead, will be operated by double deck electric buses, I believe the first for this company. Again, will they be Optare's or ADLs?
