CT Plus won the W19 back on 26th November 2016, and it is the start of a few gains in North-East London for CT Plus. This is combined with a new bus garage opening in Walthamstow Avenue, to operate the W19, 385 and the future gains of 397, W11, W16.

The interior of the buses are of the ADL "generic London" specification as seen on the Enviro 400H City buses. These are also one of the last Enviro 200s with the old body style.

The blind specification for the W19 is a fairly interesting specification. The display for Ilford on the 25 is, erm... Ilford. The display for Ilford on the W19 is "Ilford High Road, HAINAULT STREET", which is very different.

The display for the curtailment is Leytonstone, PLAZA. On the side, the display is Leytonstone Station, PLAZA. The inconsistent displays on the front/side are very interesting in terms of specification.

Overall, CT Plus have fairly smart old-style buses on the W19, gained from Go-Ahead Blue Triangle. CT Plus now have the room to expand even more now they have multiple garages. Some long-awaited posts are now being written, but times are currently fairly busy.
