Latterly used at Go Ahead London's Blue Triangle, she was new to London General in 1997 and allocated to Sutton (A) garage for routes 93, 154 and 157.  When low floor buses took over on these services, NV116 found use as a trainer at New Cross (NX), Merton (AL) and Plough Way (PL) before spending her last days at Blue Triangle covering rail replacement work.

After retiring from London General, she was acquired by Stuart Boxall and Karl Griffin for preservation in March 2010.
