I thought all driver changeovers were at PD? Live takeovers at Woolwich were introduced a while ago and from what my dad has said (he’s a 53 driver) the changeovers are on Wellington Street. Apparently though, there are plans to change the 53 duty cards so they only show a departure time and buses run totally to the headway shown on the MDT. I can’t see how that would mesh with a live takeover since it couldn’t be guaranteed what time the bus would reach the changeover point On a similar note, the 161 changeovers are due to take place at the same point when Stagecoach take over later this year Is this connected to driving hours? I had assumed most route 53 duties would be two rounders?

Then you have some like Dad was doing the other day. He ran light to Whitehall, worked it back to Woolwich and came off for meal relief. Then he took over in Woolwich, worked it to Whitehall and ran back to PD light. Some 20 minutes later he took over the same bus and ran light back to Whitehall and worked it back to Woolwich to finish. He got some pretty good duties on that rota! 😃

Only affects a few duties.

Does anyone know where the 157's driver changeover point is? I assumed it is at West Croydon but I have never seen a live changeover at the bus station there.

264 changeover point is at TC garage. So buses run light to TC for change overs?
