Selkent route R10: Knockholt Pound, Three Horseshoes - Orpington Station (circular)
Bypassing Tubbenden Lane (J), towards Orpington Station (G)
33617 is the first of new E20D MMCs for Selkent to enter service on linked circular routes R5 and R10. Checking the timetables after some confusion, route R10 runs circular to Orpington Station via Green Street Green, Cudham, Knockholt, Halstead and Pratt's Bottom, back to Green Street Green and Orpington.

Selkent route 336: Locksbottom, Pallant Way - Catford Bridge Station
Locksbottom / Pallant Way (HP)
Stagecoach: Selkent started their new contract to route 336 from Bromley (TB) with new E20D MMCs. 33609-21 introduced the route to Selkent last weekend, although 33617 (pictured) entered service as early as 25 July on interlinked routes R5 and R10.
The bus also, coincidentally, provided my first journey aboard route 336. Both the route and its new buses are nice, but nothing outstanding.

Selkent route 146: Bromley North Station - Downe Church
Bromley North Station (D)
Stagecoach: Selkent have started their new contract to route 146 from Bromley (TB) with a new E20D MMC. With a PVR of 1, the route gets its bus from the 33609-21 batch shared with route 336, the new buses introducing the route to Selkent last weekend.
An interesting route, the 146 is similar to route 246 with its countryside-style roads, but due to its shorter length not as demanding on the headlights as the latter. However, there are some weirdly positioned bus stops surrounded by just bushes and grass, almost inaccessible and hidden from view by overhanging trees, at Baston Road / Croydon Road and Downe Court Riding Centre. Nevertheless, a shorter version of the 336 if you want a quick ride aboard Stagecoach's new 8.9m E20D MMCs.
