Please excuse my sarcastic post I wonder what the spin will be when they realise it the boarding changes haven't made a difference or passenger numbers drop due to slower boarding.

Totally agree how are they going to police it? They wouldn't be able to have RPI's (revenue protection inspectors) on every LT route

They should have thought about this at the start, as the saying goes you can't have your cake and eat it

Yes I know it was expensive and they should have known that and before the introduction of the LTs they should have learned their lesson from when TFL had the Bendy buses

The 3 and 159 seem to be changing but the 59 and 137 aren't. The 390 seems to be changing while the 73 won't. How is anyone meant to remember what routes have been converted? the only obvious way to do it is by operator and even then half the people don't pay attention to it and it doesn't hold true to RATP in particular. I don't get how hard it could have been to just wait until the 9, Arriva and Go Ahead are ready and do every single route on the same day.

The 59 and 159 is a perfect example of what you said, especially considering they run together from Telford Avenue (Brixton Garage) all the way through to Lambeth North. Some people¹ don't even look at the route number properly let alone to remember which route has which boarding sequence. ¹ ‐ including myself on two occasions

I'll do far better than that and avoid those post-conversion routes given the choice as journey times will be increased.

Driver opening all doors and Oyster readers still activated Similarly seen on the 159 at Brixton this morning, no amended stickers and all readers still working. To my annoyance I forgot to check the bonnet number EDIT: another unmodified one on the 148
