Are any Metrobuses left in service, is there going to be any sort of fareweel event
Yes I think about 6 are still in service. Not sure about a farewell event.
What routes do the Metros work, is it just school work
Yes usually I believe they do.
Metros 2656 and 2666 out earning their keep yesterday lunchtime.
do De Courcey have any Refurbed metrobuses ( pre - E reg) ??
Do the metros get used in Normal service on weekdays and if so where?

They have been using the optare tempo (572) which is branded for it and a trident recently.
don't they already use 572 on there along with 2 branded deckers
On which routes (not school services) do DeCourcey use their double deckers?
What will be used on the new Longest Urban bus route in Europe 360A/C?

Today, the whole of the 703/704 were operated by the 4 X-NNO Tridents.
They are also used on the W1A/C, but not all the time. For the first time, I saw the small Marshall Dart, with the MCV Evolution front end on the W1A, and a 'LV52' Trident was on the W1C.
The double-door 'Dolomite' is the regular worker of the W1c.
Versas and Citaros are likely to be used on the 360a/c, probably with a few other types thrown in there to make up the PVR.
Versas are shown on yesterday's articles about the new service:

Different vehicles may be used on a Sunday perhaps to allow the usual ones to have a rest, after 6 days' working long hours?
I also imagine that vehicles won't do specific workings regularly, to allow different vehicles to run onto the late boards.
It is possible for deckers to be used on there, since no low or weak bridges are on the route -- though I imagine it would be quite rare as this route is unlikely to need DD's, and given the nature of the route, probably the same vehicles will be out all day without any swaps, unless perhaps one gets massively behind time.
I've never seen a de Courcey decker on the 801, though they have been known very occasionally to go out on the 585/85.
