Passengers don't like changing buses and there's carnage ahead.
No, it's not the Tyne & Wear or County Durham that Roger is on about. It's London.
We need to get his thoughts on the NE and see what he thinks about the changes up here.

But surely he will be conflicted with his mate and fellow 10 percenter doing exactly the sort of thing that RF doesn't approve of.
(03 Jun 2022, 3:23 pm)Rob44 would he have a stroke at what's happening ( gne) and going to happen ( allegedly SCNE and arriva) up here?If SNE and ANE did it. Quite possibly!

(03 Jun 2022, 4:35 pm)Andreos1 Exactly that. But surely he will be conflicted with his mate and fellow 10 percenter doing exactly the sort of thing that RF doesn't approve of.I’m sure that he’s already mentioned the GNE changes in passing in one of his tweets/blog posts.

Maybe he's totally unaware of these GNE changes. Someone needs to let him know.

In most cases the cuts will reduce the number of routes along certain roads and reduce through connections rather than being wholesale withdrawals.
The Go-Ahead London cuts mean 7 route withdrawals, 45 buses worth of work and 95 drivers jobs eliminated. However it is believed that there will be no compulsory redundancies.
We are pleased to share photos of the ‘ie tram’ bus in production at Irizar’s factory in northern Spain. These sleek, zero-emission electric vehicles will operate on Route 358 (Crystal Palace to Orpington) as part Go-Ahead London’s ongoing commitment to sustainable transport.

Sorry but was someone drunk when they designed them? - look horrible.

A bit late to the party but Go-Ahead London are going to be using Irizar ie Trams on the 358 (Orpington - Crystal Palace).
Were first reported back in Oct 22 as being ordered, the photos from the bus expo (Nov 22) look really good.
Doubt they'll be ordered up here, but you never know.

I hope they get some those tram/buses just not sure what routes they would go on
