Preferably none in East London - give them to the West Londoners as we have too many over here I don’t mind LTs but don’t wanna see more converted to full LT operation, but if it’s a split allocation I’m all for it I wonder if LTs will start to be blinddd for more routes now they are becoming front door boarding only.

Next route to be converted away from LT class? 👀 This would be a thread worthy of its own

I’m hoping for major outer London routes (e.g. the 5, 25, 115, etc) Preferably none in East London - give them to the West Londoners as we have too many over here Give them to the North Londoners

I always have the feeling that those LTs at BW will be blinded for 25 and 425 once Stagecoach starts their new contracts.

Or whether non-LT sightings become allowed on night routes like the N3 and (N)159

Now I don't have a source for this information so don't qoute me on it but I'm sure I remember something like that.

There tends to be a few myths flying about but anyway I think it's highly unlikely that LT's are going to start appearing on the 25 when it goes to BW.

However BW operate the 238U and frequently throw out LTs on that route, the 25 also has extras whenever the TfL Fail Rail is closed so I wouldn't completely write off LTs appearing on it.

Not a LT fan but they could be useful on busy trunk routes such as the 5 especially at peak times at hot spots like Canning Town and Barking Station. The 115 could also be a good place for them!
