VWs in North Finchley What a Lovely Surprise By George

Today while on my travels to and from school i witnessed some very strange things in my local area.
 this morning i observed that a TP covering for the TPLs on the 82 was displaying blinds for the 84 which i thought was a nice treat as it looked like the 84 served North Finchley.

Now it may seem that i have delayed the actual post idea by putting other pictures up so now lets get straight to the point.
This afternoon while on my way home I spotted an unusual sight coming from the direction of Holloway (HT)...  I had spotted VW1208 at Tally Ho corner,now this bus is meant for use on route 79 Between Alperton and Edgware and this bus is based at  Perivale East Garage (PV) which is roughly 11 miles away.
My Prediction for this bus being here is it is being used to prematurely train the drivers at HT on how to operate these buses before HT receive a big batch of them for the recently retained 134 and 43 contracts due to start on the 4th of February but it has been confirmed that the buses will not arrive in time for the contracts renewal on that date.
If anybody does have information as to why that bus was in the area please comment below
