On Metroline rail replacement today there is DE, TE, TEH, VW, VWH & VMH - a nice mix out there.
It looks like there is a bus from possibly every garage out there.

Hopefully there will be somthing intresting running! Like ex London 😉 I think the biggest job, Hammersmith to T5 will only require around 30 buses. Journey Planner suggests 7.5 minute frequency and daytime cycle time will probably be around 3.5 - 4 hours - then assume early and late standbys at both ends changing over mid afternoon. The biggest players in rail replacement should be able to cover that. It's not a busy weekend on the TfL front, only other job is Chingford which is usually covered by Arriva. Abellio occasionally hire in buses on Saturdays but only when aggregate rail replacement PVR is higher than around 40 and I haven't seen Metroline outsource anything for jobs of this size. The Heathrow services are usually coaches I think.

Saw some Go Ahead RR buses heading towards RRS around Sevenoaks. One was an EH. And E71 heading home across QEII Bridge after a morning stint on same job.

Two VP’s have made it out onto UL49 Paddington to North Acton today I've heard there are supposed to be three out today, and that they've been purposefully allocated as a "farewell".

Is there any reason the LTs used in the Distric Line service have a second crew staff member on board? Seen 2 or 3 on the A13 today.

Another one showing Crossrail today, and two showing National Rail. TfL will enjoy this.

Does anyone know the operators for the Central Line routes this weekend? I think ‘B’ has been Arriva The Shires before?
