Help please....

I live in Thurock but I do use the 370 at times, usually to Upminster.

It's run by Arriva from a new garage in West Thurrock using
single-deckers, make unknown but with "Enviro 200" writ across the
rear of the bus.

However, most of the service seems to be using ancient double-deckers,
in TFL red livery but very possibly sourced from somewhere in Kent,
'cos some of the interior advertising seems to be aimed at Kent
residents.

What's going on, especially regarding the interior finish of these
bus, they seem to be very "tired", & much worse than one might expect
for a TFL route?

They make Ensign's & even First Essex's vehicles look quite
smart........


TIA for any info, David C
