Thanks to snoggle I discovered mjcarchive.www.idnet.com/wt_index.html One thing I have noticed is the variation on the amount of running tome various routes have to run light from garages. For example route D7 has 11 minutes to run from Silvertown Garage to Poplar - I know it's 4.30 in the morning but this still seems tight. Why at the other extreme the WH 86 trips have 30 mins to run from WH to Ilford. Just wondering do drivers sometimes leave the garage early just to make sure they arrive on time? |

At all times of day on the 233 were given 15 mins from MB to Swanley even though you can do it in 12 mins as it's direct along the A21 and M25, that's if you have a decent enviro 200 that will do 67mph down the M25.
To Eltham were given half hour day times which is ok but at night it's only 22 mins which is tight.
If my driving hours allow I will leave the depot a little early to make sure I depart on time from the start of the route.

If you include the 6 minutes early that you get into Eltham on your last trip. Then it's on the speed limiter all the way back to the yard. What's your personal best on the "your speed" sign on Court Road?? Mine is 48mph. Mind you that was in a Dart which handle better than an E200 However MB to Eltham... Who cares you're starting your shift.... It only matters on the way home... |

We get 50 minutes to get to the depot from White City, but get 45 minutes from Holborn to the depot. How does that work? Loooooool - Typical First #StillLoveEm

Must say I don't normally use Court Road when going back to depot, find it quicker at night going Eltham High Street, Footscray Road and Green Lane to the A20 then via Mottingham. |
