Is it Thames water doing the digging or contractors?Round here with Anglia Water it’s Clancy Dowcra doing the digging for them. Most of their works is not thought through, uncoordinated with other utility companies and spent most of the past 4 months digging up East Ham. It's definitely Thames Water! 😅 Very representative of the company itself. Not being socialistic but if there’s one company which deserves to be nationalised, that’s the one!

At times there were literally 1 hour delays in East Ham a few months because of them.

The 1 is still on diversion after an extended road closure via King’s Cross St Pancras is not serving Eversholt Street. This was seen today by the British Library.
But the 253 is seemingly doing a half service with buses going down to Euston, but half are cutting short to Mornington Crescent. I had imagined all were short to Mornington Crescent, however yesterday I had only seen one bus at stand which made me believe it was doing the half service. Anyone know any clearer?

Today: 25 to Bow Church (from Ilford), X2
New BZLs 66034 and 66044 on the 276 looking pretty good! 😎
GAL curtailed the school bus on the 325 this afternoon away from Upton Lane. Hopefully they realise Upton Lane is actually the busiest part of the route, irrespective of the delays elsewhere. Arriva still managed to run the school extra without issue...
And SEe274 on the 376! Passengers piled on from Upton Park to the penultimate stop in East Ham, which is unusual as Joe & Jenny Public don't normally hail the 376 towards Town Hall on High Street North. Drivers from all routes waving the 376 driver down, passengers upset when the bus terminated and due to the iBus screen not working properly, a lady overshot East Ham Station. But overall, passengers happy to see new buses in east London.
12328 on the 58 Oh, and 19863 spotting my most hated display- 474 to East Ham 😒
Saturday: Forgot to mention, 19873 on the 58. E400s are and still continue to be ultra rare on the 58 😮

I definitely wrote 13128 but that got autocorrected. I was wrong with the Streetdeck statement though, cheers for pointing that out!

Spotted VWH1363 return after a near 2 month off the road sounding a bit rough (engine palpitating from hybrid failure?), only lasting from Willesden to Golders Green according to LVF.
Maintenance on Gemini 2 hybrids getting harder by the year it seems judging by constant short trips on the road (and also often an few off). Weird as still nice to ride when working properly.
