Are destinations for the 113 and 159 still being swapped I.e the 113 terminating at Marble Arch and 159 terminating at Oxford Circus? When will this be happening? Along with the 94 the plans havent been changed as no further anouncements have been made but no dates seem to have been given. I belive the 94 was waiting for some works to be done on a new stand at Marble Arch.

I hope to god WCC don't allow TFL to build a new stand at Marble Arch. The 94 shouldn't be pulled out of Oxford Street

The 94 shouldn't be pulled out of Oxford Street Be better to extend the 274 to Acton Green, if necessary the Camden Town to Islington section could be replaced by an extension of the 31 or maybe reroute the 476 to Camden Town?

Or maybe atleast extend the 274 to Shepherds Bush and the 31 to Acton Green.

It will be necessary as it’s wiping out service to some roads entirely and for some removes the service to a tube station. Anyway, 31 would probably become too unreliable as there would be several traffic hotspots.

In my opinion, when the 94 is cut back to Marble Arch it should be extended at the Western End. Extend the 94 from Acton Green to Brentford Garage

4, 46 & 134 all going ahead too from 15-June Why would TfL either give 134 electrics or go ahead with the proposal if it doesn't enter ULEZ? A waste of resources in my opinion. The should give them to a route with a similar PVR that enters the ULEZ. It might also mean that a few too many OMEs have been ordered.

So if the 48 is going where are the spare LTs now going! I know a few are needed for the 55. So annoyed about the 48 going. I think the remainder of route 48 LTs will convert route 2 or 243, displacing HVs onto route 34.

How many Metroline routes have a TVR of 31 and are in a garage where there is space to put electric charging points?

Well unless CTP get some LTs to cover the 388 extension, another 2 cities will have to be bought for the 20 which is why I see this as the most likely outcome I don't see the 388 going LT or part-LT myself. The LTs for the 48 contract are older than the E400H Citys for the 388 contract. Cutting the 388 back to Liverpool Street was supposed to release six vehicles, four for the frequency increase on the 26 and two for the shortfall on the 20. Now that it has been decided the 388 will operate to London Bridge, the most likely solution now is that CT Plus will source two or three second-hand vehicles (most likely Enviro400H MMC hybrids) from another London operator - even with the reduced scope of the Central London cuts there will still be plenty available. If Stagecoach return 6 (12397-402?) off lease CT Plus could snap some up for route 20 or 388 as required.

Finally the results and official decisions are out! As the results are late coming out I really didn't expect the 48 to be axed but look here. The 55 is a busy route as it is so good luck to the drivers regularly on the route. Does it mean 12th October is the last day or the 11th? I could potientially see the 106 taking the LTs from the 48 as it's at the same garage. I expect that its last day would be October 11th, being a Friday.

Congrats to those who campaigned to save the 19, it had a lot of publicity and was well represented by politicians. I'm affected by Route 40, which instead of serving London Bridge and The City will go to er....Clerkenwell Green! Until the Elizabeth line opens, it seems like that route will be quieter north of the Elephant & Castle. Despite what TfL have said, E&C is not a suitable interchange for passengers from East Dulwich who wish to continue to travel for hospital appointments at Guys Hospital and local rail services provided by Southern are too infrequent. It does seem bizarre if not indeed terrible that Fenchurch Street will lose its regular bus service. I think route 35 could be rerouted via Fenchurch Street & Aldgate. Route 149 will still link London Bridge and the whole of Shoreditch, and be mostly duplicated by routes 47 & now 388.
