Croydon Buses Update

Croydon Buses has ceased trading. The assets have been seized by the administrators, and the business is awaiting a buyer.

EDIT 03/11/14
The assets have been bought by New World Holdings HK (trading as New Citybus in London) and SR (East Croydon-Southern Station) and P (Old Kent Road) are now under New Citybus ownership.
All commercial services have been discontinued, and all TfL services are being administered by L1/Group using the existing buses, until 8th November 2014, when New Citybus takes over.

Routes 64 and 409 will be as per normal, using the current buses.

Route T31 will have existing E25H/Enviro 200 hybrids ex-L1/Group replacing Citaro Ks, which will transfer to L1/Group. The Enviro 200s ordered by Croydon Buses are for sale.

Route 412 - the new buses for the route are now E45H/Enviro 400MMCs, contract will still start in January 2015

Routes 663/689 - as intended, existing Enviro 425H/Enviro 400 Hybrids will operate the routes.
