  I assume you mean plug doors. Only 2754X has such doors.

  Depot control for Sv 65 is BBDEP and HGDEP OR BNDEP, not sure.
  
  Sv 156 is joint operation by BBDEP & HGDEP. Sv 66 is joint operation by SLBP & HGDEP. Sv 78 & 79 are both full SLBP services.

  BBDEP + ARBP (MK3s) for svc 65 right?

  Service 65 is BNDEP and BBDEP. ARBP might be a possibility but i would rule that out.

  SBS2754X used to be on 88 but is now serving 161. This is the one and only Mk4 Dm3500 with such doors.

  Any pictures of 7251 doing Metroline services? Would be interesting to see that.

  ARBP has VO2X and LO3X. You must take into account that ARBP is actually an expansion of BBDEP, so buses of the two depots can roam around between those two. ARBP has quite a few Striders and a lot of Mk IIIs, not to forget Mk IIs and a few DM3500s.

  And that is why the famous cameo King SBS2759H is alway cameoing on both depot svcs.

  Nope, it isn't. Most london buses do not have air-con due to their climate. (But commuters really suffer during summer)

  No, that bus only has a heater installed for winter.
