From LOTS News:
LBSL intends to enter into new contracts for the following routes with the operators listed below:
| Route | Current Operator | New Operator | PVR | Vehicles |
| 292 | London Sovereign | Metroline | TBC | 2011 Euro V diesel double deck |
| 317 | Arriva London | Metroline | 6 | New Euro VI hybrid double deck |
| 393 | Arriva London | Metroline | 14 | New Euro VI diesel single deck |
| 603 | Metroline | Sullivan Buses | 2 | 2009 Euro V diesel double deck |
All Euro V vehicles will be upgraded to Euro VI emissions standards.
The above contracts will commence on the following dates:
8th December 2018: Route 292.
12th January 2019: Route 603.
23rd March 2019: Route 393.
30th March 2019: Route 317.
Metroline gained three routes and lost one school route to Sullivan Buses. It will be a long wait for the new route contracts to start. Only routes 317 and 393 will be getting new buses.
