It was involved in an incident earlier today which resulted in the cancellation of the service it was operating (later replaced by another bus) - see this Tweet for confirmation.

Hope it was just a passenger being ill rather than a 'crash' incident. Couldn't have happened to a nicer looking bus like.

When are the last of the purple "Toon Link" branded Wright Renowns due to be withdrawn?

When the remaining omnicities entre service.

Also, has 4987 transferred to Deptford permanently or just temporally?

It's properly transferred, but 4897 is just a float vehicle so can in theory transfer to any location without needing to be replaced as it's just an extra bus in the fleet.

At the moment, it's covering for Deptford's Mercs which are being repainted for services 35/36.

Goes nicely with the ghastly interior advertisements front to back of the upper saloon for benefit fraud...

Former "QuayLink" branded Optare Versa V1110/Optare 8315 (NK10 GOH) has now arrived at Saltmeadows Road for repaint. This means that just one "QuayLink" branded vehicle remains to be repainted: 8313 (NK10 GOC).
