After 4 years of waiting, brand new tram-style buses have entered the 358. They are still joined alongside with the Alexander Dennis Enviro 200 Darts and Mercedes-Benz O530 Citaro C2.

The 358 is surprisingly a long route as it's 15 miles running from Crystal Palace to Orpington Station with 17 buses.

I was on board iE6 LJ73CHV and then changed buses to an Enviro 200 Dart on 751 YX13AGV with the pantograph not working at Orpington Station.

Imagine this if the 358 was up for tender in 2025 and it ended up passing to companies like Stagecoach, this would be a crazy one after 4 years waiting for those tram buses and only able to board on those on the 358 for 1 year. It's not gonna be up for tender in 2025.
