when you think about there must be a heck of alot of stops to change.certainly not a small job I don't care. I am passenger and customer to them. It is their job to do so. How many staffs work for TfL and how many managers work for TfL. You tell me. Have you not seen what the financial crisis has done to workplaces - costs have had to be reduced and sadly, workplaces have chose to have a smaller workforce which has to do more work between them. The same has happened in my workplace which has nothing to do with TfL or transport in general. Blame TfL for their mismanagement of their section if you please but the contractors are separate to TfL and are have pressure exerted onto them that are out of their control.

But at the end of the day the buck stops with TfL, they are paying the contractors and this whole thing could have been organized a lot better. Hopefully lessons have been learned?

I stated above to blame TfL and not the contractor - the contractors can only do so much.

On my 51 journey today as we arrived at the Bellegrove Road stop I had a little think... With New Weekend Night bus services and the classic All Week night services. Could we eventually have night bus services that operate 'Working Nights' only (M-F)? If so are there any routes that come to mind for week nights only?

There are strategic advantages in operating as many night routes as possible , as it frees space in the garages overnight , which in turn means operators can bid for more daytime work and technically base more buses than can actually fit inside the garage.
When TfL consult , I wonder how much they listen to the bus operators ? I know of one case where the operator wants to actually run two busy routes as all week services but TfL have not proceeded with it

Now over a month of running what are peoples observations of the night services on the 132, 154 and 486. Whilst the Night tube hasn't started how have loadings been so far on these routes?

was on 154 couple Saturdays back at 2.30am from croydon. was about 20 people on the bus leaving croydon, id imagine it get busier when more people discover the 24 hour side of it on weekends. id imagain it be even busyer comming out of morden when the night tube finally starts.

Streatham's night bus maps have been updated to show the 24hr weekend 319. Yes and the person who updated the TfL website hasn't used the usual naming convention to distinguish Night Bus maps from other spider maps.
