Three Transport for London (TfL) tenders currently controlled by Stagecoach Selkent have come up for renewal, with one transferring to Metrobus.

The 227 has a Peak Vehicle Requirement (PVR) of 12 and will utilise new Euro VI single-deckers when it transfers to Metrobus on 22 June 2019.

Stagecoach Selkent retains the 124 (PVR 15) which will use existing single-deckers.

The operator will use 14 Euro V buses built in 2012/13 and three Euro VI vehicles built in 2014. The Euro V buses will be upgraded to Euro VI emissions standards.

The operator has also retained the 136, which has a PVR of 20 and will use 2018 Euro VI hybrid double-deckers. Both retained contracts renew on 25 May 2019.
