The 31st March 2018.

The day the 68, 468, X68 were all separated from one another. 

Loss of 68/N68 to neighbouring garage Abellio from Walworth (WL) with existing LTs.

Loss of 468 to a garage mid-point of Arriva; Norwood (N), with new HV380-412.

Retention of X68' with EH215-224 and 188's transfer from Morden Wharf (MG) to Camberwell (Q) to balance work lost by 68/468/N68 loss.

68 (West Norwood - Elephant & Castle - Euston):

Last allocated New Routemasters (LTs) towards the end of the contract. Normal buses such as Enviro400H EHs and B5LH EvoSeti MHVs appeared, especially en masse the night before the changeover.

The irreversible past.
The explosion of art.
"Art is an explosion."

I'll no doubt make my 31 March post long winded and as informative as possible, so as to save time for both myself and yourself, I'll have this post as the starter pack.

The 68 group, consisting of 68, 168, 468, X68, N68.
Disclaimer: May contain 196.
                    Doesn't contain 168, it was exiled.

I will focus as much as I can on the 68 side of things, making references to 196 here and there as it's a family member too. However, I have an old post that focuses more on 196.
