I think off all the cuts the 171 is probably the less damaging with the 1, 68 and 168 still running between Holborn and Elephant plus the 176 from Aldwych to Elephant. Less damaging or not, that's still not a good enough reason personally.

We maybe it's best in your eyes for an operator to have to buy new buses when some may be spare at a later date.

EH37 looks to be first northbound 88 to Parliament Hill Fields... (happy to be corrected)

The N87 to Kingston is using mix of EH and WHV
So the rumours that it would convert to LT haven’t happened

Could may be incorrect about this but the amount of ex-14 and now ex-176 EHs out of service from yesterday would suggest to me that two of those will be the spares on the 135. The 88 has inherited 24 LTs from the 87, so another six would be needed from Q for a TVR of 30, PVR of 27 (<- londonbusroutes.net has updated this as the new PVR rather than 30). There’s eight 66-reg EHs that were pulled from service, suggesting to me that’s where extra other two will go so the 135 has some spares

End of an ear for A then as they won't have a night route into Central London anymore. I wonder how they will manage parking at the garage with less buses on the road at night.

The reason it didn't have LTs at first was because it failed a route test in Fulham just after the Broadway. When the council got rid of the parking bays 211 and N11 was able to use LTs

Last night was approx 50/50 mixed operation.

Looks like a number of the ex-486 Es have returned to BX (out of service). A line of them are parked at the side of the garage. E49 heads the line blinded '699 Winchmore Hill', followed by E54, rest un'id'd. They're to be used whilst buses go away for emissions mods - all have returned to BX except E39 AFAIK Correct, E39 has moved to C, joining its veteran sister E38
