The night service on the H37 has started early, in as much it is running all night after 8pm rugby kick offs at Twickenham. Also the 267 is running until around 2am and the 281 has a frequency increase to every 15 mins all night on such days as well.
I used the 222 last night, this is already going down well with good patronage levels already, although the busiest stretch is Hounslow - Heathrow North where it parallels the N9.
The Kingston routes are very busy due to the college "fresher" season - LU are laying on several private hire VA's to get students home to St Mary's University from Kingston. Probably a student union charter, they do lots of them.
I find it very interesting to see how places like Hounslow are becoming 24/7 towns, with lots of restaurants and little shops open all night.
And I am also pleased the N91 and 94 are remaining at their current frequencies,
I hope a bit of "mission creep" will play a part in further improving night services. Routes like the H37, H32, 114 & 183 that are due for weekend services could probably run all week and be worthwhile.

Lol.... The other day there was no N199 tile, now there is one along with an Old N47 one And yet they've updated the 119 when it doesn't need updating and the 352 still doesn't run on Sunday when it reality it now does. Thats nothing lol. Last week when I was here the 119 tile was changed and the N47 was still there. Now a N199 tile is there with an N47 one still present. Next I can guess it will be gone and the 352 one will still be there stating Monday - Saturday

Very poor handle by TfL Team.

Lewisham Centre Bus Stop U & V both have N199 tiles, this will cause confusion, resulting in people missing their bus because of standing at the wrong stop. Update to last week, Stop U the 47 Stop, where there should be no N199 tile instead of removing it, a Big Red X has been placed over it. Thought it was a bit odd, better to just remove it

I suppose the logic of the red cross to say that the route does normally stop there so people don't start searching all the bus stops at say Oxford circus looking for it and hopefully a notice in the panel will explain a temporary curtailment.

Guess what, TfL still haven't put up of the new timetable at every bus stop for N199 or online of TfL's. I don't know what wrong with the teams behind this TfL. Don't they get the message from many people complain about N199 Poor handly by TfL.

As I've already stated, the contractor has been inundated with the work in regards to fitting info at bus stops - they can only do so much. Until then, a bit of patience is warranted. As for the online aspect, TfL's website has always been poor so I fully agree with your grievances on that front - it's no excuse to sort out online timetables given how simple a task it is.

Patience warranted? We aren't some deregulated "back of beyond" place where no one uses buses apart from a few grannies on market day. This stuff was always done right and usually slightly in advance - now it isn't being done right. That's nothing to do with the contractor as they don't decide the pace of change, TfL do that. They also don't specify their own work, TfL do that. We can also see monumental cockups all over the place with mistakes, works not done, last minute changes, consultation results published nanoseconds before the change actually happens. Someone, somewhere has completly botched the resource levels, organisation and management needed to do what that same "someone" decided was "pee easy stuff that a monkey with half a brain could do". Unfortunately even the "monkey with half a brain" has had enough. I can't recall the last time that these sorts of failures happened on this scale and persisted for so long after an actual route change took place. Mike Brown needs to "kick some butt".
