Currently on Trident 17981 on the 472. Will it be the last Stagecoach Trident ride on a TfL service that I take?...

Took a return trip from Woolwich to Bexleyheath on the new 301.
DW482 bizarrely the first pick up point is opposite the covered market, somewhat remote from the main shopping area and station. Only two other people on board until Thamesmead but a bit busier after that, quite a few photographers taking snaps. The stand at Bexleyheath is the old emergency bus stop for when the area around the clock tower was closed and if a second bus arrives the road is blocked.
DW486 on the return journey with Thamesmead on the front although the driver and I bus confirmed it was going to Woolwich. Reasonably busy for the first day as far as Thamesmead but pretty quiet after that with a 472 not far in front. We were regulated at the stop near PD, a bit ridiculous so close to the end of the route.
Took my 8 year old grand daughter on a ride round on the DLR which she loved then.......
RM1933 on the 15H from Tower Hill to Aldwych, picked up a fair load from the tower with the conductor announcing apologetically that contact less wasn't valid but oyster cards were. He went round both decks validating oyster cards and happily dealt with any travel quires. My grand daughter loved the old bus and so it seems did everyone else........ still doesn't matter what they think it needs to be axed pronto!!

It doesn't, it's not TfL's job to run a tourist attraction. End of the day no matter how much some people think it is, just because some people enjoyed it doesn't mean it should stick around and waste our money when it doesn't need to exist. As you often say, it's a luxury that TfL can no longer afford

What other observations? I mean seriously why did you post this other than to incite conflict? And then you'll complain that you're being bullied again..... sigh!!

First try of the 301 today - DW455 from Woolwich to Heversham Road. Generally busy, plenty of surprised people (ooo it’s a 301 - is that like a 401?) and a good driver 🙂
