VWH2355 and probably some others have Crossrail Replacement on their blindset! Potentially a waste of money as it may not open lol Credit to londonbuses1503 for the observation on Facebook (Not posting link as not everyone is a member of The Londoner) The 12, 62/13 reg E400s at PB have it as well.

Just seen a blind change on DW445 on the 99 and the blinds has the new route 335 on blinds with North Greenwich and Kidbrooke as destinations for the 335
I'm wasn't expecting to see the 335 to be on the blinds already as the route isn't even out for tender so far, let alone the 335 consultation results haven't even been released yet.

I wonder if this suggests that the 335 has already been out to tender, or at the very least had its ITT issued. Although they could just be playing it safe so they don't need to reblind any buses yet again should they win the route. Interesting because I didn't think Arriva would be interested in the route, I would be surprised if anyone other than Go Ahead were to win the route considering its proximity to MG and lack of proximity to the garages of any other operators. Oh well there have been many bigger surprises in the past

You were not seeing things. I had a feeling today it would be spotted by someone, yes the new blind sets contain this route. I chose not to mention it in the post below a few weeks ago. tangytango.proboards.com/post/505615/thread

That could also quite possibly explain why the 48s withdrawal date is in the Autumn as opposed to June like all the other routes, as that's when the 335 is meant to be introduced.

Interesting to see Arriva may get the 335 as compensation for the 48. I wonder whether TfL will just overwrite the 48's contract with the 335 as some replacement work. I was anticipating a hotly contested bidding war between Go Ahead (MG), Stagecoach (PD), and Arriva (DT).
