(08 Aug 2021, 7:23 pm)IRHardy Yes there is a cascade of the SPs from the 111 to make VHs and ADHs available for the takeover of the 49 & X140 on 4th September as the electric buses won't be able to run on the routes from day one for various reasons. However with the timeliness of electric buses starting operating on routes when they should do, I can imagine that the LTs will transfer to Abellio for a few months until the electric buses are ready to be actually used?
Yes, in the likely event that Abellio are late to be able to introduce their electric buses on route 111 they would borrow the LTs in the interim.  TF depot already have LTs for route 267 so are familiar with them.

Yea, saw that, just who had the backing of Metroline

Looks like Singapore, It is a subsidiary of ComfortDelGro Corporation and operates services under contract to Transport for London. As at March 2021, the fleet consisted of 1,532 buses, making it the third largest London Buses operator.

That's alot for London's standard - I've never used the London buses - so don't know any of the routes at all - but I take it, the PVR for those services is high?

Take it the buses on the routes getting withdrawn will be moved elsewhere to replace older buses in London?......... The North East will probable's end up with some no doubt.

Ooo Friend, Bus Friend.

Quite a high number of services. Reading between the lines, it definitely seems to be politically motivated.

I'd even go as far as suggesting it being part of a strategy to ensure the next London Mayor ends up being a tory one.

Sure I read, because of the bail outs, for Transport for London would have to cut services... sure that was part of the deal?

Unless I'm making that up.

Yeah, apparently the stories are true and in order to get funding, they've got to make cuts.
Similar to when Nexus were told to contract the metro ops out. Apparently it was the only way they would be eligible for funding.

I'm sure London could survive with a few cuts... its not like they have many services which overlap anyway.

Not really any worse than most places outside London - although London unusually has a large number of overlapping high frequency routes.
GNE mostly cut those out up here already, or already reduced them (e.g. 56 from 10 to 12 to 15 mins)..
